Abstract: Red monoazo dyestuffs frm diazotised 1-aminobenzene-2-sulphonic acid-N-methyl-N-cyclohexylamide or 1-amino-4-,-5- or -6-methyl-benzene-2-sulphonic acid-N-methyl-N-cyclohexylamide and 2-amino-8-hydroxynaphthalene-6-sulphonic acid are disclosed which are particularly distinguished by their good migration and levelling properties and excellent fastness to light. Said dyestuffs are moreover suitable for obtaining very even combination dyeings together with known blue or yellow acid dyestuffs. These dyestuffs are particularly suited for the dyeing of carpeting, upholstery fabrics and drapery materials.

Abstract: The method of treating open-celled polyurethane foam by the application of a modifying ingredient, such as a dye, pigment, color stabilizer or fire retardant, for example, wherein the method comprises the steps of (a) applying an excess of a liquid solution or dispersion of the modifying ingredient to a mass of the foam, (b) removing most of the excess of the liquid by squeezing the mass, (c) passing a gas, the temperature of which is between 350.degree. F. and 500.degree. F., through the material for a period of time sufficient (1) to raise the temperature of the polyurethane mass to a point at which the polyurethane will absorb the modifying ingredient, and (2) to vaporize the liquid present in the solution or dispersion, the period of time being insufficient to cause charring of the polyurethane, thereby accelerating the absorption of the modifying ingredient into the polyurethane, so as to permanently incorporate the modifying ingredient into the foam, and (d) allowing the mass to cool.
