Abstract
Abstract A process for dyeing cellulose fibers and mixtures of the same with synthetic fibers in an aqueous liquor by the exhaustion method in the presence of a water-soluble polymer of acrylic acid or an alkali metal salt or ammonium salt thereof, an alkali metal or ammonium salt of a copolymer of maleic acid and styrene, maleic acid and a vinyl ester or maleic acid and a vinyl ether as a dyeing assistant in an amount of from 0.05 to 2% by weight based on the material being dyed. Level dyeings are obtained and mixtures of fibers can be dyed in a single liquor.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
187 words
A process for the dyeing of cellulose fibers or mixtures of cellulose fibers with synthetic fibers which comprises dyeing a textile material made of said cellulose fibers or said mixtures of fibers by the exhaustion method in an aqueous liquor that had been used in the acid pre-treatment of said fibers and containing a dye for cellulose fibers and, as a dyeing assistant and complexing agent, from 0.05 to 2% by weight, based on the material being dyed, of a water-soluble polymer selected from the group consisting of water-soluble homopolymers of acrylic acid, water-soluble copolymers of acrylic acid with up to 50% by weight of methacrylic acid, methacrylamide, acrylamide, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, esters of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid, crotonic acid and itaconic acid, copolymers of maleic acid with styrene, copolymers of maleic acid with vinyl esters, copolymers of maleic acid with vinyl ethers and the alkali metal and ammonium salts of the said polymers, said polymer having a viscosity of a 7.5% by weight solution of the polymer in water at a pH of 9 and a temperature of 20° C. of from 1 to 300 centipoises.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
187 words
A process for the dyeing of cellulose fibers or mixtures of cellulose fibers with synthetic fibers which comprises dyeing a textile material made of said cellulose fibers or said mixtures of fibers by the exhaustion method in an aqueous liquor that had been used in the acid pre-treatment of said fibers and containing a dye for cellulose fibers and, as a dyeing assistant and complexing agent, from 0.05 to 2% by weight, based on the material being dyed, of a water-soluble polymer selected from the group consisting of water-soluble homopolymers of acrylic acid, water-soluble copolymers of acrylic acid with up to 50% by weight of methacrylic acid, methacrylamide, acrylamide, acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, esters of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid, crotonic acid and itaconic acid, copolymers of maleic acid with styrene, copolymers of maleic acid with vinyl esters, copolymers of maleic acid with vinyl ethers and the alkali metal and ammonium salts of the said polymers, said polymer having a viscosity of a 7.5% by weight solution of the polymer in water at a pH of 9 and a temperature of 20° C. of from 1 to 300 centipoises.
