Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a process for exhaust dyeing a textile fibre substrate to obtain level dyeings, which process comprises the step of adding to the dyebath the effective amount of dyestuff or electrolyte or dyestuff and electrolyte either simultaneously or one after the other in specified quantities per cycle of the dyeing machine, metered according to a mathematical function.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 22
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
In a process in which a textile fiber substrate is exhaust dyed with an effective amount of a direct, reactive or sulfur dyestuff in a dyebath which also contains an effective amount of electrolyte selected from the group consisting of salts and agents having an alkaline action, the improvement which comprises adding the effective amount of said dyestuff or said electrolyte, or the effective amounts of said dyestuff and said electrolyte simultaneously or one after the other, to the dyebath in specified quantities metered, per cycle of the dyeing machine, according to a linear or exponential function such as to give a substantially linear exhaustion of the dyebath.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
108 words
In a process in which a textile fiber substrate is exhaust dyed with an effective amount of a direct, reactive or sulfur dyestuff in a dyebath which also contains an effective amount of electrolyte selected from the group consisting of salts and agents having an alkaline action, the improvement which comprises adding the effective amount of said dyestuff or said electrolyte, or the effective amounts of said dyestuff and said electrolyte simultaneously or one after the other, to the dyebath in specified quantities metered, per cycle of the dyeing machine, according to a linear or exponential function such as to give a substantially linear exhaustion of the dyebath.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the dyestuff or the electrolyte or both are metered according to such a function that the dyebath is exhausted at a linear rate of approx. 1%, based on the total dyestuff concentration used for the dyeing, per cycle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the dyestuff is selected from the group consisting of monoazo, diazo or polyazo dyestuffs, anthraquinone dyestuffs, phthalocyanine metal dyestuffs, nitro dyestuffs, dioxazine dyestuffs, metal complex dyestuffs, metallizable dyestuffs and methine, polymethine and azomethine dyestuffs.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A process according to claim 1, in which either the dyestuff alone is metered into the dyebath containing the electrolyte, or the electrolyte alone is metered into the dyebath containing the dyestuff.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the dyestuff and the electrolyte are metered each into the dyebath one after the other.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the dyestuff is a direct or sulphur dyestuff and the electrolyte is a salt.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the dyestuff is a reactive dyestuff and the electrolyte comprises both a salt and an agent having an alkaline action.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
72 words
A process according to claim 7, in which either the salt is metered into the dyebath containing the dyestuff and the agent having an alkaline action, or the salt and then the agent having an alkaline action are metered one after the other into the dyebath containing the dyestuff, or the dyestuff and then the agent having an alkaline action are metered one after the other into the dyebath containing the salt.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
18 words
A process according to claim 1 in which the substrate to dyebath ratio is from 1:1 to 1:60.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
13 words
A process according to claim 1, in which the textile substrate comprises cotton.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
46 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the electrolyte is selected from the group consisting of sodium sulphate, sodium chloride, potassium sulphate, potassium chloride, sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium silicate, potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, potassium silicate, borax, trisodium phosphate and tripotassium phosphate.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process according to claim 15 in which the dyestuff is a direct or sulphur dyestuff and the electrolyte is a salt.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process according to claim 1 in which only the electrolyte is metered into the dyebath to which the dyestuff has previously been added.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
27 words
A process according to claim 1 in which the electrolyte is a salt and is added in a total amount in the range 0.5 to 200 g/l.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process according to claim 2 in which only the electrolyte is metered into the dyebath to which the dyestuff has previously been added.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process according to claim 6 in which only the electrolyte is metered into the dyebath to which the dyestuff has previously been added.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
25 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the dyestuff and/or electrolyte are metered into the dyebath in the form of an aqueous or organic solution.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim
12 words
A process according to claim 12 in which the substrate is cotton.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim
21 words
A process according to claim 1 in which a cycle comprises one complete circulation of the complete volume of the dyebath.
Claim 21
Dependent Claim
21 words
A process according to claim 13 in which a cycle comprises one complete circulation of the complete volume of the dyebath.
Claim 22
Dependent Claim
21 words
A process according to claim 12 in which a cycle comprises one complete circulation of the complete volume of the dyebath.
