Abstract: In the conventional methods for the preparation of printing pastes containing couplable diazonium compounds, liquid bases, sodium nitrite and phosphoric acid are incorporated separately in succession in the thickener or they are each prepared as separate thickeners and then combined with stirring only when they are used. Such measures are relatively complicated and are therefore considered as a disadvantage in practice. If the acids customary for the diazotization are used, there is a further risk that the fixation by steaming of the reactive dyes printed in addition to the diazo components will be impaired.This situation considered problematical by persons skilled in the art can be remedied by using liquid water-based preparations of diazotizable amines which, in addition to the amine, simultaneously contain the amount of acid necessary for its diazotization in the form of, preferably, phosphoric acid.

Abstract: In the dyeing of cellulose knitted fabrics in hose form, according to a two-bath procedure, with azo dyes produced on the fiber by coupling of their formation components, it was hitherto impossible on an industrial scale to forward the developing liquor in a sufficiently rapid manner into the interior of the textile hose, after impregnation of said tubular goods in a winch beck using the exhaust technique. Dyestuff development without intermediate drying was impeded by the insufficient liquor uptake of the flattened textile material that had previously been impregnated on subsequent slop-padding wet-in-wet with the developing liquor.By incorporation of an auxiliaries' combination comprising homo- or copolymers of acrylic acid amide and a wetting agent in said developing liquor, the liquor uptake thereof by the moist fiber material is increased and the penetration rate of this liquor during the coupling is incited in such a manner that textile hoses which exhibit even, well penetrated dyeings are obtained.

Abstract: Continuous dyeing of cellulose knitted fabrics in hose form, according to a two-bath procedure and without intermediate drying, with azo dyes produced on the fiber by coupling of their formation components could be realized hitherto on an industrial scale in exceptional cases only. For the most part this dyeing method failed generally due to the insufficient liquor uptake of the flattened textile material that had previously been impregnated, on subsequent slop-padding wet-in-wet with the developing liquor.By incorporation of a combination comprising homo- or copolymers of acrylic acid amide and a wetting agent into the impregnation bath and the developing liquor, the liquor uptake thereof by the moist fiber material, both in the course of the impregnation phase and once more in the slop-padding operation for developing the dyes too, is increased and the penetration rate of the liquor during the coupling is improved in such a manner that textile hoses which exhibit even, well penetrated dyeings are obtained.

Abstract: Continuous dyeing of voluminous cellulose fabrics, according to a two-bath procedure and without intermediate drying, with azo dyes produced on the fiber by coupling of their formation components is effected by incorporation in a developing liquor with which the previously impregnated fabric is slop-padded, wet-in-wet, of a combination comprising homo- or copolymers of acrylic acid amide and a wetting agent into said developing liquor; the liquor uptake by the moist fiber material is increased and the penetration rate of this liquor during the coupling is incited in such a manner that textile articles which exhibit even, well penetrated dyeings are obtained.Dyeing of for example cord, velvet, terry or pile fabrics with azo developing dyes has become feasible only in accordance with this invention. The process may be carried out also in semicontinuous operation.

Abstract: Concentrated solutions of water-insoluble bis-acetoacetic acid-diphenylamides as coupling components; these solutions contain in addition to one or more of these coupling components water and sodium and/or potassium hydroxide and as aliphatic solvent one or more mono- or di- to hexa-ethyleneglycol monoalkyl ethers having lower alkyl radicals, and optionally ethyleneglycol, diethyleneglycol and/or propyleneglycol. The coupling components are contained in the solutions in a concentration of up to about 50% by weight without deteriorating the storage stability of the solutions. The solutions may be used for preparing water-insoluble azo dyestuffs on the fiber according to "ice-color" dyeing. On pouring into water containing a small amount of sodium hydroxide they give immediately ready-to-use impregnation baths.

Abstract: An anionic surfactant can be used for the preparation of aqueous dispersions of specific composition with a high degree of fineness of the particle sizes of primary aromatic amines free from carboxylic acid or sulfonic acid groups. Besides said aromatic amine and said anionic surfactant these aqueous dispersion contain as a dispersing agent a water-soluble condensation product containing one or several radicals of oxalkylated, hydroxy and/or carboxy group-containing aromatic compounds, which radicals are linked with one another by methylene bridges either directly or via radicals of aromatic compounds. The dispersions may further contain a polyhydric alcohol and optionally a high molecular weight polyglycol. The dispersions have a good viscosity behavior, a good stability in storage and are stable at temperatures of about -15.degree. to +50.degree. C. They can be readily and rapidly diazotized and yield residue-free diazonium salt solutions with low tendency to foam formation.

Abstract: A process for preparing a derivative of an hydroxyl bearing substrate by reacting an hydroxyl bearing substrate with oxirane bearing molecules to produce an oxirane ring bearing substrate; and reacting the oxirane ring with a substituted primary aromatic amine selected from primary aromatic amine alcohols and primary aromatic amine thiols. Among the compositions so produced is a stable modified hydroxyl bearing substrate or hydroxyl bearing sheet having covalently bonded thereto primary aromatic amines which can be diazotized. The diazotized substrate selectively, covalently binds proteins, polypeptides, peptides, nucleic acids, RNA, single stranded DNA, and nucleic acid hybrids.

Abstract: The dispersions contain(a) 30 to 60% by weight of a diazotizable aromatic amine bearing electrophilic substituents and having an average particle size below 10 .mu.m (microns),(b) 0.1 to 5% by weight of a water-soluble polymer or copolymer of an N-vinyl-lactam,(c) 0.1 to 5% by weight of an anionic dispersing agent,(d) 0 to 30% by weight of at least one hydrotropic compound and/or at least one compound which lowers the freezing point and(e) water.The dispersions can be prepared by wet-grinding of the components. They can be used to produce azopigments in substance or azodyestuffs on textile substrates. Their diazotization proceeds very quickly and completely.

Abstract: Developing dyes are especially easily produced by using preparations containing molar amounts of diazo or coupling components per weight or volume unit or a multiple or a fraction thereof in simple numerical ratios. Since the diazo component is the free finely dispersed amine these preparations are stable and allow the reaction of stoichiometric amounts. Thus, multicolor effects are feasible which hitherto could not be obtained at all or with difficulties only.

Abstract: Polyester fibres are dyed in yellow and orange-red color shades with good fastness to light and wet processing when dyestuffs of the formula ##STR1## wherein K denotes the radical of a 5-amino-pyrazole coupling component which couples in the 4-position,R denotes an optionally substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, aralkyl or aryl radical and the ring A can contain further non-ionic substitutents customary in dyestuff chemistry, are used.

Abstract: By the present invention there has been found an improved process for the production of water-insoluble azo dyestuffs on the fiber according to the methods of the ice color dyeing, in which the fiber material is at first impregnated with a coupling component in an alkaline medium and thereafter developed by treating it with a developing bath which contains the diazonium compound; the improvement is characterized in that the developing bath contains an alkali metal-tri- or -tetrapolyphosphate and the pH value of the developing bath is greater than 4.5 prior to the coupling and smaller than 9 after the same. As compared with known processes, the novel process has the advantage that in this case there are not used any heavy metal salts, such as chromium and zinc salts, which have an adverse effect on the waste waters, and that besides there are no precipitates of zinc phosphate even in the case of zinc ions being present in the dye baths.
