  • Patent number: 4292037
    Abstract: There is described a process for dyeing paper or, in particular, cellulose containing fibre material with an aqueous dye liquor, which dye liquor contains at least one cationic or basic dye which(a) has available at least one system of delocalized .pi.-electrons, which system consists of at least 9 conjugated double bonds lying in one plane, and(b) possesses a planar molecular structure, the said material being treated, before or during dyeing, with at least one cationic or basic levelling agent; there is no necessity to add salt additionally to the dye bath, and there are obtained by this process level dyeings which exhibit a high degree of exhaustion of the dye, and which are characterized by good fastness properties, especially by good fastness to wet processing.

  • Patent number: 4233028
    Abstract: Described is a process for the level dyeing of polyacrylonitrile materials of slow, normal and rapid absorptive capacity with an aqueous dye liquor, which process comprises using a liquor containing at least one migrating cationic dye as well as, if required, further additives; and adding to the liquor, before, during or after dyeing, at least one organic cationic migration auxiliary.This process renders possible by the use of organic migration auxiliaries the obtainment of level single-shade and, in particular, combination-shade dyeings at normal dyeing temperatures.Particularly suitable migrating cationic dyestuffs are those having a more or less delocalized positive charge, the cation weight of which dyestuffs is smaller than 310, the parachor smaller than 750 and the log P (relative lipophil property) smaller than 3.6.Particularly suitable organic migration auxiliaries are those of which the cation weight is smaller than 250, the parachor smaller than 700 and the log P smaller than 6.4.

  • Patent number: 4181499
    Abstract: Described is a process for the level dyeing of polyacrylonitrile materials, in which process there is used for dyeing polyacrylonitrile materials that have varying substantivity an aqueous dye liquor containing at least one migrating cationic dyestuff and electrolyte, as well as, optionally, at least one migrating cationic retarder and further additives. This process renders possible a level dyeing of all fibre types of polyacrylonitrile materials by one and the same dyeing method. Generally, no addition of a migrating cationic retarder is necessary. Only in the case of a light-colored dyeing is a very minor addition thereof required. Particularly suitable migrating cationic dyestuffs are those having a more or less delocalized positive charge, the cation weight of which dyestuffs is smaller than 310, the parachor smaller than 750 and the log P (relative lipophil property) smaller than 3.6.
