Disperse dyes of formula ##STR1## wherein D is the radical of a diazo component of formula ##STR2## Z.sub.1 is a radical of formula ##STR3## Z.sub.2 is hydrogen or a radical of formula (4), X is hydrogen, halogen, CF.sub.3, R.sub.3, OR.sub.3, NH--CO--R.sub.7, NH--CO--OR.sub.8, NH--SO.sub.2 --R.sub.7 or ##STR4## wherein R.sub.3 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl; R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are each independently of the other hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy-C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alkyl; R.sub.7 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or phenyl; and R.sub.8 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy-C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alkyl; A.sub.1 is hydrogen, halogen, SO.sub.2 R.sub.3, CF.sub.3, NO.sub.2 or CN; A.sub.2 is hydrogen, halogen or CN; A.sub.3 is hydrogen or halogen, with the proviso that at least one of the substituents X, A.sub.1, A.sub.2 and A.sub.3 may not be hydrogen, and A.sub.4 is hydrogen, halogen, nitro, R.sub.3, NHCOR.sub.3 or OR.sub.3.

Azo dyes

The invention relates to a process for fixing dyes on organic material, which comprises fixing dyes containing at least one polymerizable double bond or at least one polymerizable ring system, excluding water-soluble dyes which carry acrylamido or methacrylamido groups, together with at least one substantially colorless compound which contains at least one polymerizable double bond, by subjecting said organic material, which has a residual moisture content of less than 20%, based on the treated material, to ionizing radiation.

Process for fixing dyes

The novel dispersion dyes of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 is a C.sub.2 -C.sub.8 alkyl radical which is substituted by hydroxyl, halogen, a radical --X--C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl or --X--phenyl, in which X is a bridging member of the formula --O--, ##STR2## and R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, independently of one another, are each an unsubstituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl radical or a C.sub.2 -C.sub.8 alkyl radical which is substituted as mentioned for R.sub.1, or in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together with the nitrogen atom linking them are a heterocyclic radical, are suitable in particular for the dyeing of polyester textile material.

Phthalimidylazo dyes

Disperse dyes, which produce dyeings of excellent thermomigration fastness, consisting of a chromophore and a lactam or oxime radical which detaches on heating to leave an isocyanate or isothiocyanate group, which reacts with a suitable group in the environment. The disclosed dyes are described by the formula ##STR1## where F is the radical of a dye which is free of water-solubilizing groups,

Disperse dyes which are convertible into a thermomigration fast form

The dyes according to the invention consist of a chromophore and a radical which, on heating, forms an isocyanate or isothiocyanate group. The latter reacts with a suitable group in the environment. Dyeings of excellent thermomigration fastness are obtained. The disclosed dyes are of the formulae ##STR1## where F is the radical of an azo, anthraquinone or tricyanovinyl dye which is free of water-solubilizing groups,
