  • Patent number: 4985045
    Abstract: A monoazo dyestuff composition comprising at least two different individual compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, independently of each other, are linear or branched alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and R is linear or branched alkyl having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and where said individual compounds differ from each other in at least the R moiety, has improved dyeing properties compared with the individual dyestuffs when used to dye or print hydrophobic fiber materials.

  • Patent number: 4937325
    Abstract: A monoazo dyestuff composition comprising at least two different individual compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, independently of each other, are linear or branched alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and R is linear or branched alkyl having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and where said individual compounds differ from each other in at least the R moiety. The monoazo dyestuff mixtures are used for the dyeing and printing of hydrophobic fibers such as high molecular weight polyesters of their mixtures with natural fiber material.

  • Patent number: 4872883
    Abstract: The mixture of monoazo dyestuffs which contains one or more dyestuffs of the formula I ##STR1## and one or more dyestuffs of the formula II ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently of one another denote linear or branched alkyl with 1 to 6 carbon atoms and R denotes linear or branched alkyl with 1 to 3 carbon atoms, is outstandingly suitable for dyeing and printing hydrophobic materials a deep blue color.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 27, 1988
    Date of Patent: October 10, 1989
    Assignee: Bayer Aktiengesellschaft

  • Patent number: 4812143
    Abstract: Liquid formulations of disperse dyestuffs for dyeing hydrophobic synthetic fiber materials or mixtures of synthetic fiber materials with cellulose fiber material or wool contain from 0.1 to 10% by weight of pulverulent highly disperse inorganic oxides or silicates or mixtures of both said oxides and silicates having a specific surface area (BET) of 20 to 800 m.sup.2 /g.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 7, 1987
    Date of Patent: March 14, 1989
    Assignee: Cassella Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Klaus Hofmann, Ulrich Buhler, Erwin Dietz
  • Patent number: 4798692
    Abstract: A method is suggested which is used for controlling and/or regulating of the injection molding in injection molding machines by measuring the temperature in the injection tool. A thermosensor is fed within a bore in the tool very closely to the molding pocket surface, so that the temperature fluctuations resulting from the injection cycles can be registered by the thermosensor. The measuring results are controlled with respect to maximum permissible deviations, whereby it is advantageous to control the minimum temperature and the temperature difference between the maximum and the minimum temperature. When exceeding predetermined maximum permissible deviations a signal is actuated for controlling a quality control for sorting out of parts and/or a light signal or an acoustic signal and/or the machine is switched off. Moreover, the measuring signals are used for controlling of the tool temperature and the mass temperature.

    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH
    Inventors: Eberhard Blersch, August Burr, Klaus Hofmann
  • Patent number: 4620853
    Abstract: Dyestuff mixtures which contain dyestuffs (A) of the formula ##STR1## and dyestuff (B) of the formula ##STR2## in an (A):(B) weight ratio of (80 to 60):(20 to 40) useful for dyeing and printing hydrophobic fiber materials.

  • Patent number: 4374640
    Abstract: A dyestuff useful for dyeing and printing synthetic, hydrophobic fibers or mixtures thereof with cellulose fibers and stable under dyeing conditions is a .beta.-modification of a compound of the formula ##STR1## having an X-ray diffraction pattern under Cu-K.alpha.-radiation with high intensity lines at a diffraction angle in .theta. degrees of 3.75, 6.40 and 12.35;medium intensity lines at a diffraction angle in .theta. degrees of 6.60, 7.30, 7.60, 7.90, 8.10, 8.35, 9.30, 9.70, 9.90, 10.20, 10.50, 12.70 and 13.90;and low intensity lines at a diffraction angle in .theta. degrees of 5.65, 8.75, 11.25, 11.70, 13.35, 15.10 and 15.55; which is prepared by heating at 50.degree.-150.degree. C. the .alpha.-modification of said compound, which is unstable under dyeing conditions.
