Abstract
Abstract By suspension of the melt of the known crystallographically amorphous dye of the formula ##STR1## which is unstable to dyeing, in water at a temperature of 90° to 130° C., this dye can be caused to crystallize. There is obtained a crystalline granulate in which the dye is completely in the novel ε-modification. The novel dye modification is stable in dispersion under dyeing conditions, and has no tendency to flocculate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
70 words
A modification of the dye of the formula ##STR3## which modification is stable to dyeing and which is characterised by the X-ray diffraction pattern (CuK-α radiation) with the characteristic reflexes shown in FIG. 1, and by the d values of the interplanar spacings, calculated from the diffraction pattern: d [A]: 10.9 s, 9.1 ss, 7.7 s, 6.2 s, 4.58 s, 4.34 s, 3.86 s, 3.57 s, 3.37 s, 3.09 s.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
70 words
A modification of the dye of the formula ##STR3## which modification is stable to dyeing and which is characterised by the X-ray diffraction pattern (CuK-α radiation) with the characteristic reflexes shown in FIG. 1, and by the d values of the interplanar spacings, calculated from the diffraction pattern: d [A]: 10.9 s, 9.1 ss, 7.7 s, 6.2 s, 4.58 s, 4.34 s, 3.86 s, 3.57 s, 3.37 s, 3.09 s.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
A process for producing the ε-modification stable to dyeing according to claim 1, which process comprises rapidly heating the crystallographically amorphous dye of the given formula, in an aqueous suspension, to a temperature above 90° C. until a liquid dye melt is formed, and holding the suspension at this temperature until the melt is fully crystallised throughout.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
A process according to claim 2, wherein the liquid dye melt is finely dispersed in the aqueous phase by vigorous stirring, and the suspension is held for 0.5 to 10 hours, at a temperature of 90° to 130° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A process according to claims 2 or 3, wherein as starting material there is used directly the aqueous coupling suspension occurring in the production of the amorphous azo dye.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
The process of claim 3, wherein the suspension is held for 2 to 5 hours.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
13 words
The process of claim 3, wherein the temperature is 93° to 100° C.
