Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing dyed mixed fibres (D-MF), dyed mixed fibre yarns (D-MY) and/or dyed mixed fibre textile fabrics (D-MT) in which mixed fibres (MF), mixed fibre yarns (MY) and/or mixed fibre textile fabrics (MT) comprising at least one polyester fibre (PF) and at least one further fibre (FF) are simultaneously contacted with at least two different dyes (D1) and (D2) at a temperature TD
Abstract:
A process for using infrared energy to fix acid dyes to textile substrates comprised of polyamide fibers is disclosed. This process is well suited for use on broadloom carpets, carpet tiles, and certain fabrics comprised of nylon, wool, or nylon-wool blends. Specifically, the inventive process utilizes infrared energy having a wavelength of about 1 to about 3 microns and energy density of at least 100 watts/square inch to fix the dyestuffs. Eliminating the requirement for steam by incorporating the use of infrared energy results in decreased processing costs, processing times, and deleterious environmental impact.

Abstract:
Water-soluble dyes of formula (I) in which R1 is hydrogen, hydroxyl, C1-4 alkyl, C1-4 alkoxy, halogen or SO3M, R2 is hydrogen, C1-4 alkyl or C3-6-cycloalkyl, B is the radical of a carbocyclic, heterocyclic or methylene-active non-cyclic coupling component having at least two optionally fused carbocyclic rings, and M is hydrogen or a non-chromophoric cation, the ring A has no further substituents or is substituted with from one to four of the following substituents: C1-4-alkyl, C1-4-alkoxy, halogen, -NO2, -COOM and -SO3M, and the group -N=N-B is bonded to position 3 or 4 of the ring A, with the proviso that the molecule contains at least two -SO3M groups, are suitable for dyeing or colouring non-fibrous substrates, in particular anodized aluminium or water-soluble plastic compositions.
