Abstract: Acid monoazo dyes of the formula ##STR1## in which X is hydrogen, chloro, bromo, nitro, C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl, methoxy, ethoxy or C.sub.2 to C.sub.4 alkanoylamino and K is a radical of a coupling compound as defined below. The dyes are suitable for dyeing natural or synthetic polyamides giving colorations with very good fastness properties.

Abstract: Monoazo and disazo dyes having an unsubstituted or substituted aniline or p-aminoazobenzene as diazo component and an N-substituted .beta.-naphthylamine of six to eighteen carbon atoms in the N-substituent as coupling component. Preferred diazo components are phenyl, tolyl, phenylazophenyl and tolylazotolyl, and preferred coupling components are provided by .beta.-naphthylamine which is N-monosubstituted by n-hexyl, n-octyl, .beta.-ethylhexyl, 3,5,5-trimethylhexyl, tridecyl, .beta.-ethylhexoxypropyl, cyclohexyl, benzyl or phenylethyl. The dyes are eminently suitable for the coloring of for example mineral oils, gasoline, fats and waxes because of their excellent solubilities.

Abstract: Polyazo dyes which in the form of the free acids correspond to the general formula I ##STR1## where D is the radical of a diazo component, or a radical of the formula ##STR2## n is 0 or 1, R.sup.1 is hydrogen, chlorine, bromine, methyl, ethyl, methoxy, ethoxy, carboxyl, trifluoromethyl, methylsulfonyl, ethylsulfonyl or hydroxysulfonyl,R.sup.

Abstract: Acid azo dyes containing thiazole coupling components, of the general formula ##STR1## where D is the radical of a diazo component,R is hydrogen, acetyl, benzoyl or an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic radical,R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently of one another are optionally substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl or aryl,R.sup.1 may also be hydrogen andR.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together with the nitrogen may be a heterocyclic radical, andthe radicals D, R, R.sup.1 and/or R.sup.2 may in total contain from 1 to 4 --SO.sub.3 H groups.The deeply colored novel compounds are particularly suitable for dyeing polyamides, and the dyeings obtained have very good lightfastness and wetfastness.

Abstract: Mixtures of dyes of the formula ##STR1## where R is hydrogen or methyl and n is a number from 0 to 6 are exceptionally suitable--especially when used in the form of stock solution--for coloring mineral oil products.
