Abstract: A technique is described for dyeing and printing textile materials of cellulose fibers and blends thereof with polyester fibers. The technique involves exposing the textile before and/or during the dyeing or printing sequence to the action of quaternary ammonium compound and a compound capable of releasing ammonia at a temperature within the range of 180.degree.-230.degree. C.

Abstract: Compound for use in the dyeing of cellulosic fibers by anionic dyes, method of making such compound and method of dyeing involving the use of such compound. The compound has the general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are alkyls with 1-3 carbon atoms, R.sub.3 is alkylene with 1-2 carbon atoms, R.sub.4 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl with 1-2 carbon atoms, and X is an anion of a strong inorganic ore organic acid. Such compound may be produced by a method in which 70 to 80 parts by weight of 35% hydrochloric acid are gradually added to 100 parts by weight of N,N-dimethylbenzylamine whereupon the temperature of the reaction compound is adapted to the value of 40.degree. to 80.degree. C. and 55 to 75 parts by weight of epichlorhydrin are gradually added, wherein the temperature of the resulting compound is kept between 60.degree. to 100.degree. C. over the course of 60 to 120 minutes since the last addition of epichlorhydrin.
