Abstract
Abstract Dyeings on cellulose with direct or reactive dyestuffs are given improved wet fastness properties by aftertreatment with a reaction product or mixture of a polybasic amino compound (A) with an N-methylol compound (B) or with formaldehyde or a formaldehyde donor and optionally a crosslinking catalyst (C). Particular direct or reactive dyestuffs and polybasic amino compounds are determined to be suitable in the dyeing and aftertreatment when the dyestuff and the polybasic amino compound (A) are such that when mixed together in aqueous solution they give a precipitate which, after washing and drying does not redissolve in aqueous alkali at pH≧12 at room temperature.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
A method for determining the combined suitability of a direct or reactive dyestuff and a polybasic amino compound for use in dyeing or printing a cellulosic substrate and in the preparation of an aftertreatment agent for improving the wetfastness of the resulting dyeing or printing, said method comprising the steps of (A) mixing an aqueous solution of said direct or reactive dyestuff with an aqueous solution of said polybasic amino compound to form a precipitate; (B) introducing the precipitate from step (A) into an aqueous alkali solution having a pH≧12 at room temperature, and (C) observing whether the precipitate introduced in step (B) dissolves in the aqueous alkali solution, said combination being suitable if the precipitate does not dissolve in said aqueous alkali solution.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
124 words
A method for determining the combined suitability of a direct or reactive dyestuff and a polybasic amino compound for use in dyeing or printing a cellulosic substrate and in the preparation of an aftertreatment agent for improving the wetfastness of the resulting dyeing or printing, said method comprising the steps of (A) mixing an aqueous solution of said direct or reactive dyestuff with an aqueous solution of said polybasic amino compound to form a precipitate; (B) introducing the precipitate from step (A) into an aqueous alkali solution having a pH≧12 at room temperature, and (C) observing whether the precipitate introduced in step (B) dissolves in the aqueous alkali solution, said combination being suitable if the precipitate does not dissolve in said aqueous alkali solution.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
61 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the aqueous solutions mixed in Step (A) have a concentration of dyestuff and polybasic amino compound, respectively, in the range 0.2 to 8% by weight and said solutions are mixed together in such proportions as to give a weight ratio of the dyestuff to the polybasic amino compound in the range 1:0.5 to 1:10.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
