Abstract

Abstract Process for the continuous coloration of aromatic polyester or cellulose triacetate textile materials and of unions of aromatic polyester with cellulose, by applying to the textile material for the polyester or triacetate a disperse azo dyestuff containing a single carboxylic acid ester group and at least one group selected from primary, secondary or tertiary sulphamoyl or carbamoyl; imido (especially phthalimido), hydroxy, acyloxy, sulphone (especially alkylsulphonyl) and lactone groups, and for the cellulose component of a union a reactive or other dyestuff, followed by an alkaline rinse of the colored textile material.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim 177 words
A process for the continuous colouration of aromatic polyester or cellulose triacetate textile materials which comprises continuously applying to the said textile materials by an aqueous padding or printing process and fixing by a heat treatment a disperse azo dyestuff, free from carboxylic acid and sulphonic acid groups, which is represented by the formula: A--N═N--E wherein A is the residue of a diazotisable aromatic amine A--NH 2 and E is the residue of a coupling component which is an aromatic or heterocyclic amine, an aromatic hydroxy compound, a pyrazolone or an active aliphatic methylene compound, each dyestuff containing a single carboxylic ester group and at least one of the following: (a) a primary, secondary or tertiary sulphamoyl group; (b) a primary, secondary or tertiary carbamoyl group; (c) an imido group; (d) a hydroxy group; (e) a sulphone group (f) a lactone group; and subsequently giving the coloured textile material a treatment in an aqueous alkaline bath at a pH above 8 and at a temperature between 50° and 85° C. which does not contain a reducing agent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 177 words
A process for the continuous colouration of aromatic polyester or cellulose triacetate textile materials which comprises continuously applying to the said textile materials by an aqueous padding or printing process and fixing by a heat treatment a disperse azo dyestuff, free from carboxylic acid and sulphonic acid groups, which is represented by the formula: A--N═N--E wherein A is the residue of a diazotisable aromatic amine A--NH 2 and E is the residue of a coupling component which is an aromatic or heterocyclic amine, an aromatic hydroxy compound, a pyrazolone or an active aliphatic methylene compound, each dyestuff containing a single carboxylic ester group and at least one of the following: (a) a primary, secondary or tertiary sulphamoyl group; (b) a primary, secondary or tertiary carbamoyl group; (c) an imido group; (d) a hydroxy group; (e) a sulphone group (f) a lactone group; and subsequently giving the coloured textile material a treatment in an aqueous alkaline bath at a pH above 8 and at a temperature between 50° and 85° C. which does not contain a reducing agent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 51 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein the disperse azo dyestuff contains, in addition to the single carboxylic acid ester group, a secondary sulphamoyl group, or a tertiary carbamoyl group, or a phthalimido group, or a cyano group and a sulphamoyl group, or a cyano group and a hydroxyl group.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 108 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 wherein an aqueous dispersion of the disperse azo dyestuff is padded on to the textile material or a thickener printing paste is applied to the surface of the textile material, the dyestuff then being fixed on the textile material by steaming it at a temperature between 100° and 180° C. or baking it at a temperature between 160° and 220° C., the coloured textile material so obtained then being given a treatment in an aqueous alkaline bath which does not contain a reducing agent and having a temperature from 60° C. to 80° C. and a pH from 10.0 to 11.5.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 82 words
A process for the continuous colouration of aromatic polyester/cellulose unions which comprises continuously applying to the said unions a nonreactive dyestuff or pigment for the cellulose and a disperse azo dyestuff as defined in claim 1 for the aromatic polyester, fixing the disperse dyestuff on the union and thereafter subjecting the coloured union to a treatment in an aqueous alkaline bath which does not contain a reducing agent at a pH above 8.0 and at a temperature between 50° and 85° C.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 23 words
A process as claimed in claim 4 wherein the non-reactive dyestuff for cellulose is a Direct, Vat, Sulphur, Pigment or Azoic colouring matter.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 29 words
A process as claimed in claim 4 wherein the treatment in the aqueous alkaline bath is carried out after both types of dyestuff have been fixed on the union.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 80 words
A process for the continuous colouration of aromatic polyester/cellulose unions which comprises continuously applying to the said unions a reactive dyestuff for the cellulose and a disperse azo dyestuff as defined in claim 1 for the aromatic polyester, fixing the disperse dyestuff on the union and thereafter subjecting the coloured union to a treatment in an aqueous alkaline bath which does not contain a reducing agent at a pH above 8.0 and at a temperature between 50° and 85° C.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 43 words
A process as claimed in claim 6 wherein the reactive dyestuff contains as the fibre-reactive group a heterocyclic ring having two or three nitrogen atoms in the ring and at least one labile substituent attached to a carbon atom of the heterocyclic ring.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 30 words
A process as claimed in claim 7 wherein the reactive dyestuff contains a triazine or pyrimidine ring having as the labile substituent at least one chlorine, bromine or fluorine atom.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 91 words
A process as claimed in claim 7 wherein the union is continuously padded or printed with a padding liquor or print paste containing the disperse dyestuff, a reactive dyestuff as defined in claim 8, and an alkaline agent, the padded or printed union then being subjected to a heat treatment to fix the deystuffs on the union, the coloured union then being given a treatment in an aqueous alkaline bath which does not contain a reducing agent at at pH above 8.0 and at a temperature between 50° and 85° C.
