  • Publication number: 20060050115
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for dyeing or printing textile fibre materials, wherein a gloss pigment A or B is used comprising A(a) a core consisting of a substantially transparent or metallically reflecting material and A(b) at least one coating substantially consisting of one or more silicon oxides wherein the molar ratio of oxygen to silicon is on average from 0.03 to 0.95, or B(a) a core substantially consisting of one or more silicon oxides wherein the molar ratio of oxygen to silicon is on average from 0.03 to 0.95.

  • Patent number: 6616711
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process for printing hydrophobic fiber materials with disperse dyes, which comprises 1) dyeing or printing the fiber materials overall with a disperse dye, and 2) printing the fiber materials in areas with a printing paste, which comprises as component (A), at least one cationic assistant, as component (B), at least one polyethylene glycol, as component (C), at least one nonionogenic detergent and, optionally, as component (D), at least one disperse dye, it being possible for steps 1) and 2) to be carried out in any sequence and for step 2) to be carried out repeatedly without using any dye, or using different dyes, and, if necessary, drying the fiber material thus treated and then fixing the dye on the fiber material by heat treatment. The novel process affords multicolored prints having sharp contours and very good fastness to hot light.

  • Patent number: 5851240
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for dyeing and finishing cellulosic textile fiber material in one step, which comprises applying to said textile fiber material a liquor comprising (A) at least one dye, (B) a crosslinking agent, (C) a crosslinking catalyst, and (D) choline and subsequently fixing the dye on the textile fiber material.

  • Patent number: 5725604
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for dyeing or printing organic material, which comprises applying at last one dye selected from those containing a chromophore radical from the monoazo, polyazo, metal complex azo, anthraquinone, phthalocyanine, formazan, azomethine, nitroaryl, dioxazine, phenazine, stilbene, triphenylmethane, xanthene, thioxanthone, naphthoquinone, pyrenequinone or perylenetetracarbamide series which contains an acrylamide, methacrylamide, bromoacrylamide or chloroacrylamide reactive group, at least one colourless cationic compound containing at least one polymerizable double bond, and at least one polymerization initiator and then subjecting it to thermofixation. Further auxiliaries to the organic material may optionally may optionally be included.

  • Patent number: 4647285
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for printing cellulosic fibres or cellulose-containing blend fibres with reactive dyes or dye mixtures which contain a reactive dye and subsequent fixation, which comprises printing these materials with a print paste containing at least one water-soluble reactive dye of the formulaD--(X).sub.m (1)in which D is the radical of an organic dye of the monoazo, polyazo, metal complex azo, anthraquinone, phthalocyanine, formazan, azomethine, nitroaryl, dioxazine, phenazine or stilbene series, X is a fibre-reactive radical of the aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic series which is bonded to the radical D either directly or via a bridge member and m is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, and salts of aliphatic carboxylic acids having 3 to 18 carbon atoms, and subsequently fixing the print; and to the print pastes used and to their use for printing textile materials.
