  • Patent number: 5389108
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for fixing dyes on organic material, which comprises fixing dyes containing at least one polymerizable double bond or at least one polymerizable ring system, excluding water-soluble dyes which carry acrylamido or methacrylamido groups, together with at least one substantially colorless compound which contains at least one polymerizable double bond, by subjecting said organic material, which has a residual moisture content of less than 20%, based on the treated material, to ionizing radiation.

  • Patent number: 5218095
    Abstract: The novel dispersion dyes of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 is a C.sub.2 -C.sub.8 alkyl radical which is substituted by hydroxyl, halogen, a radical --X--C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl or --X--phenyl, in which X is a bridging member of the formula --O--, ##STR2## and R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, independently of one another, are each an unsubstituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl radical or a C.sub.2 -C.sub.8 alkyl radical which is substituted as mentioned for R.sub.1, or in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together with the nitrogen atom linking them are a heterocyclic radical, are suitable in particular for the dyeing of polyester textile material.

  • Patent number: 5116958
    Abstract: Disperse dyes, which produce dyeings of excellent thermomigration fastness, consisting of a chromophore and a lactam or oxime radical which detaches on heating to leave an isocyanate or isothiocyanate group, which reacts with a suitable group in the environment. The disclosed dyes are described by the formula ##STR1## where F is the radical of a dye which is free of water-solubilizing groups,B is a bridge member or a direct bond,Z is O or S andV is the radical of a group H--V, where H--V is an oxime of the formula ##STR2## or a lactam of the formula ##STR3## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each independently of the other substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or aryl, orR.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together with the carbon atom linking them form a cycloaliphatic ring,R is hydrogen or alkyl andn is an integer from 4 to 11.

  • Patent number: 5055567
    Abstract: The dyes according to the invention consist of a chromophore and a radical which, on heating, forms an isocyanate or isothiocyanate group. The latter reacts with a suitable group in the environment. Dyeings of excellent thermomigration fastness are obtained. The disclosed dyes are of the formulae ##STR1## where F is the radical of an azo, anthraquinone or tricyanovinyl dye which is free of water-solubilizing groups,B and B' are each independently of the other a direct bond or a bridge member, selected from the group consisting of a straight-chain or branched alkylene group having 2 to 8 C atoms or one of the following groups ##STR2## where R is hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, n is an integer from 1 to 8 and m is an integer from 2 to 4,Z is O or S,V is a group which at a temperature between 180.degree. and 240.degree. C. is eliminated as a radical HV, andV' is a direct bond which is cleaved at a temperature between 180.degree. and 240.degree. C.
