Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising at one photocatalyst and at least one azo dyestuff and/or at least one triphenylmethane dyestuff, which produces in the CIElab color coordinate system a relative hue angle of 220-320°, to a detergent composition, a fabric softener composition as well as to a shading.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a shading process characterized by using a composition comprising a phthalocyanine to which at least one dyestuff is attached through a covalent bonding, to shading compositions, to new compounds used in these shading compositions as well as to the production of these new compounds.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fabric softener composition comprising (a) a water-soluble phthalocyanine of Zn, Fe(II), Ca, Mg, Na, K, Al, Si(IV), P(V), Ti(IV), Ge(IV), Cr(VI), Ga(III), Zr(IV), In(III), Sn(IV) or Hf(VI); and (b) a quaternary ammonium compound of the formula  in which R1 and R2 independently of one another are C1-C5alkyl; or hydroxy-C1-C5alkyl; A and B are a C8-C20 fatty acid radical; the radical of the formula  or the radical of the formula B is C1-C5alkyl; a C8-C20 fatty acid radical; the radical of the formula (1a) or the radical of the formula (1b); R3, R4 and R5 independently of one another are a C8-C20 fatty acid radical; X1− is a softener-compatible anion; and m, n and p are numbers from 0 to 5. The novel composition is used to obtain good bleaching effects on soiled textile fabrics.

Abstract: A crystalline modification, designated ".beta.", of the dye of the structure ##STR1## The .beta.-crystalline modification of the dye is easier to isolate from water and gives filter cakes of higher solids and color content. The .beta.-form is also more suitable for making liquid formulations of the dye; the liquid formulations of the crystalline modification have lower viscosity and better dispersion stability than liquid formulations of non-modified form. The .beta.-modification of the dye is obtained by heating an aqueous slurry of the dye at about 90.degree.-95.degree. C. and pH of 8.5 to 9.5 until the modification is complete. The crystalline modification of the dye gives Debye-Scherrer X-ray diffraction patterns substantially different from the non-modified form.
