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.

Abstract: The electrolyte sensitivity of carboxyl-containing synthetic thickeners causes problems on application together with disperse dyestuffs, the commercial finish (dispersants) of which is of anionic nature.These known disadvantages can be eliminated by adding natural thickenings which are based on polysaccharides to the synthetically based products the properties of which are considered unsatisfactory, and setting a certain, acidic pH value in the thickening mixtures. Illustratively, proceeding in this manner it was found on pad-dyeing and printing, for example, polyester fibers with conventionally finished disperse dyestuffs that the use of the auxiliary combinations according to the invention not only stabilized the thickening but also brought about an increase in depth of shade. The systematic pH adjustment of the thickening mixtures results in considerable color yield gains.
