When a diamine of the formula ##STR1## in which n is 1 to 4, is bis-diazotized and the resulting bis-diazo compound is coupled with 2 moles of one or more coupling components of the formula ##STR2## in which R.sup.1 is hydrogen, chlorine, bromine, methyl or methoxy and R.sup.2 is hydrogen or, if R.sup.1 is hydrogen, also methyl or ethyl, disazo compounds are obtained which are colorants. Due to their high fastness to light and to migration and their heat stability and dispersibility, these compounds are useful for pigmenting high molecular weight materials, especially polyolefins.
