The present invention relates to dye mixtures comprising (A) from 20 to 80% by weight of one or more compounds of formula (1) wherein Ris C-Calkyl, or C-Calkyl interrupted by one or more oxygen atoms or &#x2014;COO-groups and R, R, Rand R, each independently of the others, is hydrogen, C-Calkyl, chlorine, bromine, hydroxy or amino and(B) from 20 to 80% by weight of at least one further yellow disperse dye the sum of components (A)+(B) being 100% by weight, and to the use of those dye mixtures in the dyeing or printing of semi-synthetic or synthetic hydrophobic fiber materials.

Dye mixtures

Disperse dyes of formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is nitro or cyano, R.sub.2 is halogen, R.sub.3 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are each independently of the other methyl or ethyl and R.sub.6 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, with the proviso that R.sub.6 is not hydrogen if R.sub.1 is cyano, R.sub.2 is halogen and R.sub.3 is methyl or isopropyl or if R.sub.1 is nitro, R.sub.2 is halogen and R.sub.3 is methyl. These dyes are suitable in particular for dyeing and printing polyester textile materials.

Disperse dyes

Disperse dyes of formula ##STR1## wherein R is nitro or cyano, R.sub.1 is halogen, R.sub.2 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl which is unsubstituted or substituted by C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkoxy, halogen, cyano or phenyl, R.sub.3 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, R.sub.4 is methyl or ethyl, R.sub.5 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, and R6 is methyl or ethyl, with the proviso that R.sub.5 is not hydrogen if R is nitro, R.sub.1 is halogen and R.sub.2 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl. These dyes are particularly suitable for dyeing and printing textile materials consisting of polyester fibres.

A dye mixture, which comprises as component (A) a dye of formula as component (B) a dye of formula ##STR1## and/or as component (C) a dye of formula ##STR2## wherein D, X and Y are as defined in the specification. These dyes are particularly suitable for dyeing polyester fiber textile material.

Azo dye mixtures

Disperse dyes of formula wherein R is nitro or cyano, R.sub.1 is halogen, R.sub.2 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl which is unsubstituted or substituted by C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkoxy, halogen, cyano or phenyl, R.sub.3 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, R.sub.4 is methyl or ethyl, R.sub.5 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, and R.sub.6 is methyl or ethyl, with the proviso that R.sub.5 is not hydrogen if R is nitro, R.sub.1 is halogen and R.sub.2 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl. These dyes are particularly suitable for dyeing and printing textile materials consisting of polyester fibres.

Disperse dyes of formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is chloro or bromo,

Disperse dyes of formula ##STR1## wherein D is the radical of a diazo component of the benzene, naphthalene, diphenyl, azobenzene, thiophene, benzothiazole, benzisothiazole, thiazole, thiadiazole, indazole, benzotriazole, pyrazole, anthraquinone, naphtholimide, chromone or diphenylene oxid series;

Azo dyes

Novel disperse dyes particularly suitable for dyeing textile material made of polyester fibers, said dyes being of the formula ##STR1## wherein X is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy or halogen,

Disperse dyes containing a tricyanovinyl grouping bonded to a

There is described a novel modification of the dye of the formula ##STR1## which is characterized by the data given in claim 1. This novel modification is suitable in particular for dyeing wound packages of polyester materials under HT conditions, materials dyed in a golden-yellow shade being obtained.
