Abstract
Abstract Concentrated solutions of a direct dye having, in the free acid form the formula: <IMAGE> are described. The solutions contain 10-30% (by weight) of the dye, 5-20% of one or more specifically defined bases; 0-5% of alkali metal cations; and 45-85% water and have a lower viscosity and solvent to dye ratio than solutions of the dye of similar strength prepared according to prior art methods. The solutions are prepared by isolating the diazonium salt of p- (p-aminophenyl)azo benzenesulfonic acid then coupling the diazo into J-Acid.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
A concentrated liquid dye solution comprising, by weight: (a) from 10 up to 30% of a dye, which in its free acid form has the formula: ##STR3## (b) 5-20% of at least one base selected from the group consisting of 2,2'-iminodiethanol, choline, monoethanolamine, dimethylethanolamine, diisopropanolamine and N-hydroxyethyl-N-methylmorpholinium hydroxide; (c) 0-5% of alkali metal cations; and (d) the balance, to 100%, water, said liquid dye having an a max value of at least 17.4 cm 2 /mg.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
76 words
A concentrated liquid dye solution comprising, by weight: (a) from 10 up to 30% of a dye, which in its free acid form has the formula: ##STR3## (b) 5-20% of at least one base selected from the group consisting of 2,2'-iminodiethanol, choline, monoethanolamine, dimethylethanolamine, diisopropanolamine and N-hydroxyethyl-N-methylmorpholinium hydroxide; (c) 0-5% of alkali metal cations; and (d) the balance, to 100%, water, said liquid dye having an a max value of at least 17.4 cm 2 /mg.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
The concentrated liquid dye solution of claim 1 wherein said base is 2,2'-iminodiethanol.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
75 words
A process for preparing a concentrated liquid dye solution comprising: (a) diazotizing (p-aminophenyl)azo benzenesulfonic acid; (b) separating the resultant diazonium salt from the diazotization mixture; (c) adding the diazonium salt to a mixture of 6-amino-1-naphthol-3-sulfonic acid in water while maintaining the pH of the mixture from 5-8.5 by the simultaneous addition thereto of a base selected from the group consisting of 2,2'-iminodithanol, choline, monoethanolamine, dimethylethanolamine, diisopropanolamine and N-hydroxyethyl-N-methylmorpholinium hydroxide to form a coupling complete solution.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
75 words
A process for preparing a concentrated liquid dye solution comprising: (a) diazotizing (p-aminophenyl)azo benzenesulfonic acid; (b) separating the resultant diazonium salt from the diazotization mixture; (c) adding the diazonium salt to a mixture of 6-amino-1-naphthol-3-sulfonic acid in water while maintaining the pH of the mixture from 5-8.5 by the simultaneous addition thereto of a base selected from the group consisting of 2,2'-iminodithanol, choline, monoethanolamine, dimethylethanolamine, diisopropanolamine and N-hydroxyethyl-N-methylmorpholinium hydroxide to form a coupling complete solution.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
