Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed a process for dyeing cellulosic fibre materials with vat dyes, which comprises adding to the dyebath all or some of the auxiliary chemicals required for the dyeing process, and subsequently, after a pretratment time, adding the vat dye or its leuco form with the aid of a metering device to the dyebath, and dyeing the fiber materials by optionally increasing the temperature of the dyebath. Level dyeings are obtained with the novel process, the cellulosic material having a perfectly level appearance as well as good light- and wetfastness properties.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
94 words
A process for dyeing cellulosic fiber materials with a vat dye, which comprises adding to a dyeing bath all or some of the alkaline compounds or alkali donors and reducing agents, and further auxiliary chemicals, required for the dyeing process, pretreating the fiber material at temperatures of 20° to 100° C. in said dyeing bath, subsequently adding the vat dye or its leuco compound continuously over an interval of time to the dyeing bath at temperatures of 20° to 100° C., and thereafter dyeing the fiber material at temperatures of 20° to 110° C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
94 words
A process for dyeing cellulosic fiber materials with a vat dye, which comprises adding to a dyeing bath all or some of the alkaline compounds or alkali donors and reducing agents, and further auxiliary chemicals, required for the dyeing process, pretreating the fiber material at temperatures of 20° to 100° C. in said dyeing bath, subsequently adding the vat dye or its leuco compound continuously over an interval of time to the dyeing bath at temperatures of 20° to 100° C., and thereafter dyeing the fiber material at temperatures of 20° to 110° C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
