Abstract: Fiber material composed of acid-modified homopolymers or copolymers of acrylonitrile (PAC fibers) which has been obtained by a wet spinning process, has not been dried and is still in a swollen condition (gel form), can be dyed advantageously and in fast colors by means of soluble dyes, the molecule of which contains several groups, namely more than one quaternary grouping and/or a strongly basic grouping carrying no charge, which exert a basic action towards the acid groups of the fiber substance. The chromophore of this colorant can belong to the category of monoazo or diazo dyes, methine, azamethine or diazamethine dyes or naphthalactam dyes.In accordance with the invention, after substantially removing the non-aqueous spinning solvent by washing, the spun material, as a moist gel, is dyed continuously or discontinuously from an aqueous dyebath; the fibers can be stretched before the dye is applied, during the dyeing process itself or immediately afterwards.

Abstract: A process for producing modified polyester products by the graft polymerization of vinyl monomers having an acidic group and replacing the acidic group with an alkali metal salt, the replacing being carried out after dyeing. By this process, decrease in strength and color fastness of polyester fibers can be avoided while giving the polyesters characteristics similar to those of cotton.

Abstract: This invention relates to dyeing textile materials of polyacrylonitrile or copolymers containing acrylonitrile in polymerized form with basic dyestuffs in aqueous dyeing liquors using the exhaust method employing retarders. The retarders are obtained by condensing (a) piperazine and piperazine derivatives with (b) ethylene chloride, epihalohydrin, propylene chloride, 1,3-dichloro-2-hydroxypropane, bis-epoxybutane, 1,4-dichlorobutene or their mixtures in mole ratios of 1:0.9 to 1:1.1. The condensation products are then quaternized with benzyl chloride using 0.8 to 1.5 moles of benzyl chloride per mole of component (a) for the quaternization. The aqueous solutions of the retarders either do not foam or show a very low foaming tendency.
