  • Patent number: 5207804
    Abstract: Coupling products of diazotized o- or p-toluidines to 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid p-anisidide do not produce optimum dyeing properties in HT exhaustion dyeing of wound packages of synthetic fiber materials. Filtration occurs time after time under critical conditions, since these single dyestuffs and also mixtures of these with one another build up too slowly in the heating-up phase.A bright red multi-component system of the same color shade, which exhibits a significantly improved exhaustion capacity by synergism during HT dyeing of wound packages and no longer presents difficulties in respect of filtration, can be obtained by mixing monoazo dyestuffs which are obtained by coupling diazotized aniline and p-toluidine in each case to 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid p-anisidide.

  • Patent number: 4985044
    Abstract: Since anthraquinonoid disperse dyes of the dark blue and navy region give only a low color strength on synthetic fibers, there was an urgent need for their coloristically advantageous substitution by high performance blue azo dyes which are suitable for being used in the carrier dyeing process.According to the invention, the systematic development of multi-component mixtures based on selected blue azo dyes from the dicyano azo series makes it possible to avoid most of the disadvantages mentioned.

  • Patent number: 4750912
    Abstract: Polyester fibers which have a linear density of less than 0.1 den and a polyurethane content cannot be dyed in deep, bloomy blacks with the commercially available black and navy mixtures based on blue, yellow and red disperse dyes. This problem is overcome by using blue components which are derived from mixtures of selected disperse dyes of diazotized 1-amino-2,6-dicyano-4-nitrobenzene and coupling components from the series of specifically substituted N,N-dialkylanilines as a constituent for the trichromatic system.

  • Patent number: 4689050
    Abstract: Disperse Blue 56 is an important blue dyestuff for dyeing PES fibers at the boil or under high-temperature conditions. This anthraquinonoid compound Disperse Blue 56, in addition to its advantages (high light fastness, pH/reduction insensitivity, purity of hue), has some technical disadvantages (poor leveling properties, pronounced staining of adjacent fiber, metameric red shift).By combining a plurality of blue disperse azo dyestuffs having selected structural features in the form of mixtures or mix-crystals it is possible to match the advantages of Disperse Blue 56 while substantially avoiding its disadvantages at the same time. These azo dyestuffs are based on coupling products of diazotized 2,6-substituted 4-nitroanilines with substituted N,N-dialkylanilines.
