Dye mixtures comprising at least two metal-free dyes, one of which contains two to eight sulfo groups and the other three to eight sulfo groups, the mixture comprising at most one dye having two sulfo groups, are used for the dyeing of leather. Preferably, a trichromatic dye mixture comprising at least one yellow dye, at least one red dye and at least one blue dye is used. Leather can be dyed with these dye mixtures in brilliant shades.

Process for the dyeing of leather with dye mixtures

Dye mixtures comprising at least two metal-free dyes of different colors having in each case two sulfo or carboxyl groups and a molecular weight of between 790 and 1100 are used for dyeing leather. A trichromatic dye mixture comprising at least one yellow dye of the formula (1), at least one red dye of the formula (2) and at least one blue dye of the formula (3) according to claim 2 is preferably used. Leather can be dyed in brilliant shades using these dye mixtures.

Process for dyeing leather with dye mixtures

Leather is dyed using dye mixtures comprising at least two metal-free dyes each carrying a single sulfo or carboxyl group and having a molecular weight in the range from 450 to 700. It is preferred to use a trichromatic dyeing formulation comprising at least one yellow dye of formula (1), at least one red dye of formula (2) and at least one blue dye of formula (3) according to claim 2. Leather is dyed in brilliant shades with these dye mixtures.

The use of compounds of the formula ##STR1## in which the symbols are as defined in claim 1, for dyeing leather is described.

Use of sulfonated polyazo dyes for dyeing leather in brilliant fast red

There is disclosed a process for dyeing leather by the exhaust process, which comprises treating leather with an aqueous liquor which contains a formulation comprising a black anionic dye and a sulfonated carbon black. The leather dyeings obtained by this process have good allround fastness properties.

There are described new blue cationic oxazine dyes of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 independently of one another are each C.sub.1-4 -alkyl, with R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together with the nitrogen atom also being able to form a heterocyclic ring, and X.sup..crclbar. is an anion; these dyes are distinguished in particular by an excellent migration capacity on polyacrylonitrile fibres.

Cationic oxazine dyes

Described is a process for the level dyeing of polyacrylonitrile materials of slow, normal and rapid absorptive capacity with an aqueous dye liquor, which process comprises using a liquor containing at least one migrating cationic dye as well as, if required, further additives; and adding to the liquor, before, during or after dyeing, at least one organic cationic migration auxiliary. This process renders possible by the use of organic migration auxiliaries the obtainment of level single-shade and, in particular, combination-shade dyeings at normal dyeing temperatures. Particularly suitable migrating cationic dyestuffs are those having a more or less delocalized positive charge, the cation weight of which dyestuffs is smaller than 310, the parachor smaller than 750 and the log P (relative lipophil property) smaller than 3.6. Particularly suitable organic migration auxiliaries are those of which the cation weight is smaller than 250, the parachor smaller than 700 and the log P smaller than 6.4.

Process for the level dyeing of polyacrylonitrile materials of slow,

Described is a process for the level dyeing of polyacrylonitrile materials, in which process there is used for dyeing polyacrylonitrile materials that have varying substantivity an aqueous dye liquor containing at least one migrating cationic dyestuff and electrolyte, as well as, optionally, at least one migrating cationic retarder and further additives. This process renders possible a level dyeing of all fibre types of polyacrylonitrile materials by one and the same dyeing method. Generally, no addition of a migrating cationic retarder is necessary. Only in the case of a light-colored dyeing is a very minor addition thereof required. Particularly suitable migrating cationic dyestuffs are those having a more or less delocalized positive charge, the cation weight of which dyestuffs is smaller than 310, the parachor smaller than 750 and the log P (relative lipophil property) smaller than 3.6.
