  • Patent number: 4655785
    Abstract: A process for the photochemical stabilization of undyed and dyed polyamide or polyurethane fibre material that is characterized in that the fibre material is treated with a water soluble, organic copper, manganese or nickel complex that displays an affinity for the fibres. The polyamide or polyurethane fibre material, e.g., textile, that has been so treated retains its stretch characteristics and elasticity even after prolonged periods of illumination. In addition, in the case of dyed material, treatment with the metal complex results in a marked improvement in light-fastness.

    Abstract: A process for photochemical stabilization of non-dyed and dyed polyamide fibre material and mixtures thereof with other fibres which comprises treating the fibre material with a fibre-reactive copper complex of bisazomethines prepared from, for example, salicylaldehydes and aliphatic diamines is described. Some of these copper complexes used are novel compounds. The polyamide fibre material, for example textile material, thus treated largely retains its extensibility and elasticity even after relatively prolonged exposure to light. In addition, a clear improvement in light-fastness is achieved in dyed material by treatment with the metal complex.
