Abstract: A process for introducing additives into a polymer melt comprising dispersing at least one additive in an at least partially volatile liquid vehicle with a dispersant and a stabilizer for the dispersion; feeding the resulting dispersion to a vented extruder which is extruding a polymer; and removing the fed volatiles through the extruder vent to achieve a substantially homogeneous system containing the polymer and at least one additive is disclosed.

Abstract: A process for dyeing textile materials of naturally occurring and synthetic polyamide fibres, in which dyeing is carried out at the boiling point of the dyebath during a short dyeing time which is therefore gentle on the fibres, and level dyeings having good fastness properties are obtained (high temperature rapid dyeing process).The dyeing process is carried out with dyebaths with comprise specific surfactants. A high degree of exhaustion of the dye liquors is achieved, and dyeing from static baths is thus rendered possible.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for dyeing natural or synthetic polyamide fiber material from an aqueous liquor, in the presence of a levelling assistant and in the presence or absence of an alkali metal fluorosilicate or ammonium fluorosilicate, which process comprises the use of a mixture of the dyes of formulae (1), (2) and (3) or a mixture of the dyes of formulae (4) and (5), or a mixture which contains the dye of formula (6) together with at least one dye of formulae (7), (8) and (9), which dyes of fomaulae (1) to (9) are as defined in claim 1.The inventive process is suitable for dyeing natural or synthetic polyamide fiber material to give dyeings of fiber and surface levelness having good fastness properties.
