Abstract

Abstract A water-based pigment dispersion excellent in gloss of a coating, tinting strength, fluidity and storage stability, comprising a pigment, a pigment dispersing agent of the formula (1) and a solid content, of a water-based resin which is obtained by copolymerizing an alpha , beta -ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid (a), an alpha , beta -ethylenically unsaturated, nitrogen-containing monomer (b) and other alpha , beta -ethylenically unsaturated monomer (c), P-[X-Y-Z-N(R1)R2]n(1) wherein: P is an organic dyestuff residue or a heterocyclic ring residue, X is a divalent binding group consisting of 2 to 15 atoms selected from S, C, N, O and H atoms, Y is a direct bond, -N(R)- in which R is H, an alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms or Q-N(R3)R4 in which Q is an alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms and each of R3 and R4 is independently an optionally substituted alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms or R3 and R4 are together forming an optionally substituted heterocyclic ring which may contain N, O or S, or -O-, Z is an alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and each of R1 and R2 is independently an optionally substituted alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms or R1 and R2 are together forming an optionally substituted heterocyclic ring which may contain N, O or S, and n is an integer of 1 to 3.
