Abstract:
A process is proposed for bleaching textiles or removing stains from textiles and for combating micro-organisms in or on organic or inorganic substrates, or for protecting the latter against attack by micro-organisms, by treating the textiles or the substrates to be freed of or protected from micro-organisms with a water-soluble zinc phthalocyanine or aluminium phthalocyanine, in the presence of water and under irradiation with light, in which process a sulfonated zinc phthalocyanine or aluminium phthalocyanine which is further substituted by neutral groups which do not confer solubility in water, for example by halogen atoms or pseudo-halogens, or a mixture of these phthalocyanine compounds, is used as the water-soluble zinc phthalocyanine or aluminium phthalocyanine.Bleaching, washing and soaking agents or agents having an antimicrobial action, for carrying out the process, are also proposed, which, in addition to the active ingredient, contain, if appropriate, inorganic salts, water and also, in the case of washing agents, customary washing agent constituents. Novel sulfonated zinc phthalocyanine and aluminium phthalocyanine compounds and their preparation are furthermore described.
Abstract:
A process for aftertreating dyed textile material consisting of or containing polyester fibres and thus preventing oligomer deposits on the dyeings, which process comprises treating said textile material at a temperature below the glass transition point of the polyester fibres with an aqueous emulsion of an oligomer-dissolving substance which consists of(a) an ester of an aliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acid with an aliphatic or araliphatic monoalcohol containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms,(b) an aliphatic or aromatic halogenated hydrocarbon,(c) a non-ionic adduct of not more than 10 moles of alkylene oxide with alcohols, fatty acids or amines, each containing 8 to 22 carbon atoms, or with phenols which can be substituted by alkyl or phenyl, the cloud point of said adduct being below the application temperature, or(d) a polyethylene oxide/polypropylene oxide block polymer, the hydrophobic polyoxypropylene moiety of which has a molecular weight of 800 to 4000, and the hydrophilic moiety of the entire molecule is from 10 to 35% by weight, the cloud point of said block polymer being below the application temperature,Or which consists of a mixture of said substances (a), (b), (c) and (d).
Abstract:
Process for the imparting of a permanent insectproof finish to natural keratin-containing material, the said process comprising the finishing of these materials in a solution of at least one salt of an anti-insect agent protecting against keratin-consuming insects, said salt consisting of the anionic radical of an insecticide and an inorganic and/or organic cation capable of salt formation, and, optionally, further additives, in a solvent mixture consisting ofA. 66 to 99 per cent by weight of an optionally halogenated hydrocarbon boiling between 40.degree. and 150.degree.C, andB. 40 to 1 per cent by weight of a liquid, water-soluble organic solvent boiling below 220.degree.C, as well as the treatment liquor suitable for and the material permanently finished by this process.
Abstract:
Continuous process for the optical brightening and printing of organic fiber material, wherein the material is dry cleaned and at least one optical brightener applied from an organic liquor, the said material being then intermediately dried, printed, and subsequently finished by a heat treatment.
Abstract:
A description is given of novel stabilizer mixtures comprising at least one compound of the formula ##STR1## and at least one compound of the formula ##STR2## in which the variables are as defined in the claims. The novel stabilizer mixtures are suitable for stabilizing organic material, especially textile fibre materials, against damage by light, oxygen and heat.
Abstract:
A process is described for the photochemical and thermal stabilisation of undyed and dyed polyester fibre materials, which comprises treating said materials with a compound of formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are each independently of the other C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkyl. Dyeings and prints of superior lightfastness and sublimation fastness on polyester and cellulose acetate are obtained by this process.
Abstract:
A process for enhancing the thermal and/or photochemical stability of dyeings on dimensionally stabilised polyamide fibres, which comprises treating the polyamide fibre material, before the fixation step for producing defined, resilient forms and dimensions, in aqueous medium with a compound of formula I(A-Y-).sub.n Z(-W).sub.m (1)wherein A, W, Y, Z, n and m are as defined in claim 1.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a process for the photochemical stabilization of undyed and dyeable artificial leather, which comprises treating said artificial leather in an aqueous liquor which contains a light stabilizer. A composition for carrying out the process is also described.
Abstract:
A process is described for the photochemical stabilization of undyed and dyed polyamide fibre material, and blends thereof with other fibres, using photochemically stabilizing compositions based on copper compounds of phenols, which process comprises treating the polyamide fibre material with fibre-reactive organic copper complexes of the reaction products of o-hydroxybenzoyl derivatives of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl and the OH substituent is located in the 3-, 4- or 5-position, with aliphatic diamines or hydroxylamine. The copper complex compounds are distinguished by a high rate of exhaustion on to the polyamide fibre material, a feature which is significant in economic terms because of the low consumption of product.
Abstract:
A process for preventing yellowing of polyamide fibre materials treated with stain-blocking agents which comprises treating the polyamide fibre material with a water-soluble light stabilizer with affinity for the fibre before, during or after the treatment with a stain-blocking agent, and the fibre material thus treated are described.
