Abstract: A method for the exhaust dyeing of materials having hydroxy groups and materials containing carbonamide groups using a low salt content dye bath in conjunction with fiber reactive dyes exemplified by a dye of the following formula: ##STR1##

Abstract: This invention is directed to a dyestuff composition comprising the reaction product of a water-soluble, vinyl-sulfone type, reactive dye and a N-alkyl-amino-alkyl sulfonic acid and/or carboxylic acid or the salts thereof wherein the N-alkyl-amino-alkyl acid or salt is reacted with said dye in an amount of about 0.5 to 1.0 mole per mole of dye. This dyestuff composition is used to dye synthetic polyamides according to a process where said composition is applied to a polyamide fiber from an aqueous solution having a pH from about 3 to about 4; preferably 3.5 and then fixed to said fiber by heat.

Abstract: C.I. Disperse Yellow 54 and 64 are important yellow dyestuffs of the quinophthalone type used in coloring synthetic fibers, particularly polyamide, polyester, acrylic and acetate fibers at boiling temperature conditions. Yellow azo dyestuffs of the hydroxypyridone type, e.g., C.I. Disperse Yellow 114, 180 227 and 230 have found widespread application in the high-temperature dyeing of such synthetic fibers. It has now been found that improved tinctorial results on these synthetic fiber materials can be obtained by applying a dyeing composition derived from these yellow coloring means and comprising a mixture of 70-90 parts by weight of one or more dyestuffs of the C.I. 54 and 64 type with 5 to 30 parts by weight of an azo dyestuff of the hydroxypyridone type. These improved dyestuff compositions exhibit superior leveling, high tinctorial strength or color build-up, high dyebath exhaustion and deep shade dyeing over the individual components.

Abstract: A method of dyeing synthetic fibers, especially polyester and acrylic using an aqueous dyeing admixture containing a halogenated hydrocarbon solvent, an aromatic carrier, an emulsifier and a dyestuff.
