An assistant for dyeing or whitening synthetic nitrogen-containing fibre material, which comprises

Dyeing assistant and use thereof for dyeing or whitening synthetic

The invention describes a process for dyeing or printing natural or synthetic polyamide fibre material by a rapid fixation method, which comprises the use of dyes or mixtures of dyes of the formulae as defined in the description in a continuous dyeing method or printing method, and fixing the dyes or prints by steaming for less than 3 minutes such that at least 95% fixation of the dyes is achieved. The process is particularly suitable for combination dyeing and polyamide carpet printing, and produces level dyeings and prints having excellent fastness properties.

Process for dyeing or printing polyamide fibres

A process for dyeing or printing natural and synthetic polyamide material by the trichromatic technique, which comprises the use of a red dye of the formula (1) defined in the specification, or a mixture of the red dye of the formula (1) with a red dye of the formula (2) together with at least one yellow or orange dye of the formula (3), or a mixture of at least one yellow or orange dye of the formula (3) with a yellow dye of the formula (4) and at least one blue dye of the formula (5). The process of the invention is suitable for dyeing natural or synthetic polyamide material from an aqueous liquor or for printing with printing pastes. It is particularly suitable for dyeing from short liquors.

Process for trichromatic dyeing or printing of polyamide

The present invention relates to a process for the differential dyeing of such polyamide fibres and materials containing polyamide fibres as are made of components which differ in dyeability, or mixtures of polyamide fibres, with dyes or dye mixtures, which comprises using for dyeing these materials an aqueous liquor which contains a dye of the formula ##STR1## in which A.sub.1 is hydrogen or C.sub.1-4 alkyl and R is a C.sub.2-5 -alkanoyl, C.sub.3-6 -alkenoyl, (C.sub.1-4 -alkoxy)carbonyl, phenoxycarbonyl, C.sub.1-4 -alkylsulfonyl or phenylsulfonyl radical which can be substituted in the alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxy, phenoxy or phenyl moiety, or a mixture of a dye of the formula (1) with a monosulfo-containing anthraquinone dye, and to those dyes of the formula (1) in which A.sub.1 is as defined above and R is a C.sub.1-4 -alkylsulfonyl or phenylsulfonyl radical which can be substituted in the phenyl moiety by C.sub.1-4 -alkyl. Even at low dyeing temperatures, the process of the invention gives ombre effects rich in contrast and, on admixture of other suitable acid dyes, multicolor effects on polyamide fibres which are suitable for differential dyeing.

Process for dyeing differential-dyeing polyamide fibres

A process for the trichromatic dyeing and printing of natural and synthetic polyamide material with dyestuff mixtures. The process employs a red dye together with a blue mixture of dyes and a yellow or orange dye or mixtures thereof. The process is suitable for dyeing natural or synthetic polyamide material from an aqueous liquid or for printing with printing pastes, especially for dyeing from short liquors.

The invention relates to a process for the trichromatic dyeing or printing of natural and synthetic polyamide materials with dye mixtures, in which process there is used the dye of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is methyl or ethyl, and R.sub.2 is cyclohexyl or phenyl, together with at least one dye of the formula ##STR2## wherein B.sub.1, B.sub.2 and E.sub.1 are hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkoxy, and X is straight-chain or branched-chain C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl, or straight-chain or branched-chain C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 -hydroxyalkyl, and a dye of the formula ##STR3## wherein one Y is hydrogen or methyl, and the other Y is C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 -alkanoylamino or C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 -hydroxyalkylsulfamoyl, or with a mixture of the dyes of the formulae ##STR4## where Y.sub.1 in the formula (4) is C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 -hydroxyalkylsulfamoyl, and Z is hydrogen or methyl, and Y.sub.2 in the formula (5) is C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 -alkanoylamino, Z in the formula (4) being hydrogen when Y.sub.2 in the formula (5) is the propionyl amino group in the m-position with respect to the NH group. The process according to the invention is suitable for dyeing natural or synthetic polyamide materials from an aqueous liquor, or for printing with printing pastes; and it is particularly suitable for dyeing from short liquors.

Process for trichromatic dyeing or printing

The invention relates to a dye mixture which contains a dye of the formula ##STR1## wherein Z is hydrogen or methyl, and a dye of the formula ##STR2## Z in the formula (1) being hydrogen when the propionylamino group in the formula (2) is bound in the m-position with respect to the NH group. The dye mixture is suitable for dyeing or printing natural or synthetic polyamide materials, especially in combination with other dyes, and particularly from short liquors. The dye mixture is characterized by generally good properties, in particular by good strike properties and good solubility.
