  • Patent number: 5403361
    Abstract: A process for dyeing textile fiber materials with water-soluble dyestuffs, in particular anionic dyestuffs, and of these in particular those having a fiber-reactive group, in which the dyeing is carried out using low-electrolyte or entirely electrolyte-free and/or low-alkali or entirely alkali-free dye liquors or printing pastes and a fiber material which has been modified with a silane compound containing amino groups is used as the textile material. The fiber material is modified by applying the silane compound containing amino groups to the material in aqueous solution and subjecting the impregnated material to a heat treatment. Novel silane compounds which contain a secondary amino group and can likewise be employed for the purpose mentioned are furthermore described.

  • Patent number: 5348557
    Abstract: There is described a process for dyeing sheetlike fiber materials, in particular those made of or containing cellulose fibers, with anionic dyes, in particular those having fiber-reactive groups, which comprises applying an alkali-free and preferably low-electrolyte or completely electrolyte-free aqueous solution of the anionic dye by the inkjet printing spray technique to a fiber material which has been pretreated and modified with a compound that contains one or more primary, secondary or tertiary amino groups or quaternary ammonium groups, which amino/ammonium groups may be part of a heterocycle. There is generally no need for an aftertreatment by washing. The costly treatment of wastewaters resulting from the excess dyeing liquors otherwise obtained is eliminated. If fiber-reactive dyes are used, fixation by means of alkali is not necessary; it is generally effected by a short heat treatment.
