Abstract
Abstract A method for protecting synthetic and natural fibres against phototendering. The method comprises treating the fibres with a substituted benzotriazolesulfonate of the following formula: ##STR1## wherein (I) R 1 is hydrogen or halogen, R 2 is hydrogen or alkyl, R 3 is hydrogen or hydroxy, R 4 is --SO 3 X where X is hydrogen or an alkali metal, and R 5 is hydrogen, with the proviso that R 2 is not methyl when R 1 and R 3 are hydrogen; or (II) R 1 , R 3 and R 4 are hydrogen, R 2 is --SO 3 X where X is hydrogen or an alkali metal, and R 5 is --OR 6 where R 6 is hydrogen or alkyl; or (III) R 1 is hydrogen or halogen, R 2 is --SO 3 X where X is hydrogen or an alkali metal, R 3 and R 5 are hydrogen, and R 4 is hydrogen, alkyl or benzyl; or (IV) R 1 is --SO 3 X where X is hydrogen or an alkali metal, R 2 is alkyl, R 3 and R 5 are hydrogen, and R 4 is hydrogen or alkyl; under acidic conditions. The method is particularly suitable for treating wool, silk and nylon fibres, including blends thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
59 words
A method for protecting fibres against phototendering which comprises treating the fibres under acidic conditions with a substituted benzotriazolesulfonate of the following formula: ##STR11## wherein R 1 is hydrogen or halogen, R 2 is --SO 3 X where X is hydrogen or an alkali metal, R 3 and R 5 are hydrogen, and R 4 is alkyl or benzyl.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
59 words
A method for protecting fibres against phototendering which comprises treating the fibres under acidic conditions with a substituted benzotriazolesulfonate of the following formula: ##STR11## wherein R 1 is hydrogen or halogen, R 2 is --SO 3 X where X is hydrogen or an alkali metal, R 3 and R 5 are hydrogen, and R 4 is alkyl or benzyl.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
