A process is described for dyeing hydrophobic fibre material with unfinished disperse dyes from an aqueous liquor, which comprises dissolving one or more such dyes in water at a temperature of 50.degree. to 150.degree. C. by means of a surfactant or surfactant mixture with a hydrotroping or solubilizing action on disperse dyes, bringing the dye solution together with the substrate in a dyeing apparatus, then heating the dyeing liquor to the dyeing temperature and completing the dyeing at that temperature and then removing the substrate and restoring the exhausted dyeing liquor to the original composition by adding water, surfactant and dye and using it again for dyeing.

Maleic or phthalic acid half esters of alkoxylated fatty amines

Water-soluble or water-dispersible graft polymers comprising i) as main chain, (1) a condensate of (A) (1) an aliphatic monoalcohol of 6 to 22 carbon atoms or (2) a fatty acid of 8 to 22 carbon atoms with (B) the reaction product of (a) an adduct of propylene adduct with at least trihydric aliphatic alcohol of 3 to 10 carbon atoms, (b) an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid of 4 to 10 carbon atoms, or an anhydride thereof, and (c) an aliphatic diol having an average molecular weight of not more than 1800 and ii) grafted ethylenically unsaturated polymerisable monomers, preferably acrylic acid or acrylamide, in the form of side chains at individual carbon atoms of said condensate. These graft polymers are particularly suitable for use as anticrease agents for dyeing, whitening, bleaching or washing textile materials, e.g. textiles containing cellulosic fibres, natural or synthetic polyamide fibres, polyacrylonitrile fibres or, in particular, for dyeing or whitening cotton or polyester fibres.

Water-soluble or water-dispersible graft polymers and the preparation

Water-soluble or water-dispersible graft polymers which comprise (a) as main chain, a polyalkylene glycol, in particular polyethylene glycol, which is esterified at the two terminal hydroxyl groups with a long chain fatty acid of 8 to 26, preferably 10 to 22, carbon atoms, and (b) grafted ethylenically unsaturated monomers, preferably acrylic acid or acrylamide, in the form of side chains at individual carbon atoms of the polyalkylene glycol chain. These graft polymers are particularly suitable for use as anticrease agents for dyeing, whitening, bleaching or washing textile materials, e.g. textiles containing cellulosic fibres, natural or synthetic polyamide fibres, polyacrylonitrile fibres or, in particular, for dyeing or whitening cotton or polyester fibres.

The invention relates to a process for dyeing hydrophobic fibre material under HT conditions with unformulated disperse dyes from an aqueous liquor, which process comprises dissolving one or more such dyes in water, in the temperature range from 70.degree. to 100.degree. C., with a surfactant or mixture of surfactants which has a hydrotropic action on disperse dyes, feeding the dye solution into a dyeing apparatus which contains water heated to 70.degree. to 100.degree. C. and substrate, and subsequently heating the dye liquor to dyeing temperature, or dissolving the dye at a temperature of over 100.degree. C. under pressure by means of the surfactant or mixture of surfactants which has a hydrotropic action on the dye, feeding the solution into a closed dyeing apparatus which contains water heated to 100.degree. to 150.degree. C. and substrate, and, in both cases, carrying out dyeing in the temperature range from 120.degree. to 150.degree. C. with constant circulation of the dye liquor. The advantage of this process is that disperse dyes can be used direct for dyeing e.g. polyester without complicated grinding and formulation procedures.
