Description

The invention relates to azo compounds which contain the radical of a 3-sulphoalkyl-6-hydroxy-pyrid-(2)-one, especially of the formula ##STR2## in which R and R' each represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl or aryl radical or a heterocyclic radical and X represents a sulphoalkyl group. The radical of the formula (1) is jointed to the radical of a diazo component via an azo bridge. The diazo radical is a heterocyclic or aromatic radical which can itself contain an azo group, or which is derived from a compound of the anthraquinone, nitroaryl, phthalocyanine or stilbene series, or the like. In particular, the diazo radical of the benzene or naphthalene series.

The sulphoalkyl group which is bonded in the 3-position of the pyridone radical is preferably a sulphomethyl group, in particular a group of the formula ##STR3## wherein V represents a low molecular alkyl radical, an optionally substituted aryl or heterocyclic radical or preferably a hydrogen atom.

Where V is an aryl radical it may be substituted by alkyl, or alkoxy groups, halogen atoms, acylamino, amino, cyano, nitro or sulphonic acid groups.

The azo compounds of the invention may exist in several tautomeric forms, but in order to simplify the description the compounds are illustrated in the formula only in one of these tautomeric forms. It must be expressly emphasised, however, that the description both here and hereinafter, especially in the claims, always refers to compounds in any one of these tautomeric forms.

In particular, the term "pyridone" is intended to include both the compounds in question which are substituted at the nitrogen atom of the pyridone ring by a hydrogen atom and the corresponding tautomeric 2,6-dihydroxypyridines.

In addition to the sulphoalkyl group the azo compounds according to the invention can be free from water-solubilising groups such, for example, as sulphonic acid groups, carboxyl groups, or quaternised amino groups; in particular, however, they can also contain such groups. Above all, the compounds can contain one or more than one reactive radical such, for example, as a halogenotriazine radical, in the molecule. In addition to being substituted by water-solubilising groups, the azo compounds can be substituted, as usual, by still further atoms or groups of atoms, and in particular both in the radical of the diazo component and in the radicals V, R and R', for example by halogen atoms or hydroxyl, amino, alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, aryloxy, acylamino, cyano, acyl, carbalkoxy, acyloxy or nitro groups, and the like. If the radical of the diazo component contains, in the ortho-position to the azo bridge, a complex-forming group such, for example, as a hydroxyl, amino or carboxyl group or an alkoxy group such for example, as a methoxy group, the compounds in question can optionally be converted to their heavy metal complex compounds either before the introduction of reactive radicals or afterwards.

Possible complex-forming metals are, for example, iron, manganese, nickel, copper, cobalt and chromium. The heavy metal complexes can contain one or two molecules of azo compounds containing the radical of the formula (1), joined to a metal atom (1:1- or 1:2-complexes). However, in 1:2-complexes one of the two ligand molecules can also be an azo compound which does not possess the radical of the formula (1) as coupling component, that is to say, for example, a compound of the azo benzene type which contains appropriate complex-forming groups.

Groupings capable of reacting with the hydroxyl groups of cellulose or with the amino groups of polyamides to form a covalent chemical bond, are possible reactive radicals. Such a grouping is, in particular, a low molecular weight alkanoyl or alkylsulphonyl radical substituted by a removable atom or a removable group, a low molecular weight alkenoyl or alkenesulphonyl radical optionally substituted by a removable atom or a removable group, a carbocyclic or heterocyclic radical containing 4-, 5- or 6-rings which is substituted by a removable atom or a removable group and is bonded via a carbonyl or sulphonyl group, or a triazine or pyrimidine radical substituted by a removable atom or a removable group and directly bonded via a carbon atom, or such a grouping contains such a radical. A six-membered heterocyclic radical with two or three ring nitrogen atoms which contains halogen atoms and is bonded via an --NH-- group, in particular a chloro-1,3,5-triazine radical, is preferred as the reactive radical.

The invention relates in particular to compounds of the formula ##STR4## wherein X represents a sulphomethyl group and R and R' represent hydrogen atoms or alkyl radicals with at most 4 carbon atoms, and wherein D denotes the radical of a diazo component of the benzene or naphthalene series. The invention also relates, in particular, to compounds which possess reactive radicals, above all cyclic reactive radicals, such as, for example, triazine, pyrimidine or cyclobutane radicals, and water-solubilising groups; the reactive radicals can also be contained in the substituents X, R and R'.

A special group of compounds according to the invention are those of the formula ##STR5## wherein D' is a sulphobenzene radical, X is a sulphomethyl group one Y is a halogen atom and the other Y is a halogen atom or the radical of the amine, to which a fibre-reactive radical may be bonded, of an alcohol, phenol or mercaptan. The benzene radical can also carry further substituents in addition to one or two sulphonic acid groups as already mentioned.

Particularly valuable compounds are those of the formula (4), wherein D' is a monosulphobenzene radical, in particular such a radical which contains no further substituents other than a sulphonic acid group, X is a sulphomethyl group one Y is a halogen atom and the other Y is the radical of an aminobenzene (or aminonaphthalene)-mono- or disulphonic acid, and R and R' are each a hydrogen atom, a methyl or ethyl radical.

A further group of interesting compounds are those of the formula ##STR6## wherein D is the radical of a diazo component of the benzene or naphthalene series, in particular such a radical which contains water-solubilising substituents, R' is an alkyl or aryl radical, Z is a reactive radical, in particular a dihalogenotriazine radical or a monohalogenotriazine radical which contains the radical of ammonia, an amine alcohol, phenol or mercaptan bonded to a carbon atom, and n is a positive integer, preferably between 1 and 4. Valuable compounds of this type are those of the formula ##STR7## wherein X is a sulphomethyl group, one Y is a halogen atom, in particular a chlorine or bromine atom and the other Y is the radical of an aminobenzene (or aminonaphthalene)-sulphonic acid, R' is a low molecular weight alkyl radical, in particular a methyl radical, and m is 1 or 2.

A further interesting group of compounds according to the invention are those of the general formula ##STR8## wherein D represents the radical of a diazo component of the benzene or naphthalene series, especially one that contains water-solubilising substituents, R represents an alkyl, aryl or heterocyclic radical, R' represents an alkyl or aryl radical, V' represents an aromatic radical, especially a phenylene radical, R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a low molecular alkyl radical and Z represents a reactive radical, especially a dihalogenotriazine radical or a monohalogenotriazine radical which contains the radical of ammonia, an amine, alcohol, phenol or mercaptan bonded to a carbon atom. Important compounds of this kind are dyestuffs of the formula ##STR9## wherein D represents a sulphophenyl group, R and R' each represent a low molecular alkyl radical, one Y represents a halogen atom, especially a chlorine or bromine atom, and the other Y represents a halogen atom or an amino group, in particular the radical of an aminobenzene (or napthalene)-sulphonic acid.

Importance also attaches to compounds which contain one reactive radical each in the diazo and coupling component, for example compounds of the formulae (9) and (10), which, in addition to the reactive radical Z or the mono- or dihalogenotriazine radical which is bonded to the sulphomethyl group, contain a further reactive radical in the diazo component D.

The manufacture of the azo compounds according to the invention can be carried out by coupling and, where appropriate, metallisation, or by acylation in order to introduce a reactive radical.

The manufacture by coupling is characterised in that a diazo component, in particular a diazo component of the benzene series, is coupled with a 3-sulphoalkyl-6-hydroxypyridone-(2) in particular of the formula ##STR10## wherein X, R and R' have the meanings indicated in the explanation of the formula (1), and in that the resulting azo compound is optionally converted into a heavy metal complex by reaction with a heavy metal donor. The starting compounds are preferably diazo components which contain a reactive radical and a water-solubilising group. Possible coupling components of the formula (4) are, in particular, 3-sulphomethyl-1,4-dialkyl-6-hydroxyparid-2-ones.

The diazotisation is carried out by methods which are in themselves known, for example by means of hydrochloric acid and sodium nitrite. The coupling with the pyridone is also carried out according to methods which are in themselves known, in an acid to weakly alkaline medium.

The reaction with the heavy metal donor is carried out according to customary methods, in various solvents, such as, for example, water, ethanol, formamide, glycolethers pyridine and the like, depending on the solubility of the components, optionally at elevated temperature, and in a weakly acid to alkaline medium.

Instead of a compound of the formula (7) which is unsubstituted in the 5-position it is also possible to use as coupling component a compound which contains bonded in the 5-position a group or atoms which is removable under the conditions of the coupling reaction, whereby a coupling in the 5-position is effected. Such coupling components thus correspond to the formula ##STR11## wherein R and R' each represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl or aryl radical or a heterocyclic radical, X represents a sulphoalkyl group and W represents a radical which can be removed during the coupling reaction.

As examples of radical which can be removed during the coupling there may be cited carbonamide, carboxylic acid ester, sulphonamide, sulphonic acid ester, sulphonyl and alkylor arylcarbonyl groups. Removable radicals represented by W are in particular carbonamide radicals.

The coupling components of the formula (7) or (8) which contain a radical of the formula (2), may be obtained by reacting pyridones which are unsubstituted in the 3-position with bisulphite adducts of aldehydes, for example in aqueous solution and at normal or elevated temperature.

In order to obtain unitary reaction products, it is also advantageous to use as starting materials pyridones which contain a removable substituent in the 5-position of the pyridone ring, for example a --CN, --COOR or --CONH.sub.2 group, and to remove this following the introduction of the sulphoalkyl group by saponification.

A substituent in the 5-position may be advantageously removed also only during the coupling so that -- as already mentioned -- hydroxyparidones of the formula (8) which are substituted in the 5-position, can be used direct as coupling components. Exemplary of such compounds are:

1,4-Dimethyl-3-sulphomethyl-5-carboethoxy-6-hydroxy-pyridone-(2), 1,4-Dimethyl-3-sulphomethyl-5-acetyl-6-hydroxy-pyridone-(2), 1-Ethyl-4-methyl-3-sulphomethyl-5-acetyl-6-hydroxy-pyridone-(2), 1,4-Dimethyl-3-sulphomethyl-5-benzoyl-6-hydroxy-pyridone-(2), 1,4-Dimethyl-3-.alpha.-sulphoethyl-5-carbamoyl-6-hydroxy-pyridone-(2), 1-Ethyl-4-isopropyl-3-sulphomethyl-5-carbamoyl-6-hydroxypyridone-(2), 1,4-Diethyl-3-sulphomethyl-5-carbamoyl-6-hydroxy-pyridone-(2), 1-Methyl-4-isopropyl-3-sulphomethyl-5-carbamoyl-6-hydroxypyridone-(2), 1-Ethyl-4-propyl-3-sulphomethyl-5-carbamoyl-6-hydroxy-pyridone(2), 1-Ethyl-4-methyl-3-sulphomethyl-5-carbamoyl-6-hydroxy-pyridone(2), 1-Ethyl-4-methyl-3-sulphomethyl-5-N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl-6-hydroxy-pyridone-(2), 1-Ethyl-4-methyl-3-sulphomethyl-5-phenylsulphonyl-6-hydroxy-pyridone-(2), 1-Ethyl-4-methyl-3-sulphomethyl-5-sulphamoyl-6-hydroxy-pyridone-(2), 4-Methyl-3-sulphomethyl-5-carbamoyl-2,6-dihydroxy-pyridone, 1,4-Dimethyl-3-sulphomethyl-5-methyl-sulphonyl-6-hydroxy-pyridone-(2), 1,4-Diethyl-3-sulphomethyl-5-methylsulphonyl-6-hydroxy-pyridone-(2), 1-Ethyl-4-methyl-3-sulphomethyl-5-methylsulphonyl-6-hydroxy-pyridone-(2), 1-Ethyl-4-methyl-3-sulphomethyl-5-N-methylcarbamoyl-6-hydroxy-pyridone-(2), 1-Ethyl-3-aminocarbonyl-4-methyl-5-(.alpha.,3'-nitrophenyl)-sulphomethyl-6-hydroxypyridone-(2).

Azo compounds with the radical of formula (1), or the corresponding heavy metal complexes, which contain one or more reactive groups can be manufactured by employing diazo or coupling components which already contain reactive groups. However, in many cases it is possible to introduce reactive groups subsequently into the azo compounds. The introduction can be effected by coupling or by metallisation. Particular interest attaches to these compounds with the radical of the formula (1) which contains a six-membered heterocyclic reactive radical bound via an amino group.

The introduction of the reactive radical is preferably effected by acylating appropriate aminoazo compounds or coupling components which contain an acyltable amino group, or appropriate diazo components, which, in addition to the amino group to be diazotised, still contain a further acylatable amino group, or a group which can be converted to an acylatable amino group, for example by reduction or saponification such, for example, as the nitro group or the acetylamino group.

Appropriate diazo components which, as described above, are suitable for introducing a reactive radical, are, for example:

1,3-Diaminobenzene-4-sulphonic acid, 1,3-Diaminobenzene-4,6-disulphonic acid, 1,4-Diaminobenzene-2-sulphonic acid, 1,4-Diaminobenzene-2,5- or 2,6-disulphonic acid, 1-Amino-4-nitrobenzene, 1-Amino-2-chloro-4-nitrobenzene, 1,3-Diamino-4-methylbenzene-6-sulphonic acid, 6-Acetylamino-4-chloro-2-aminophenol, 6-Nitro-4-methyl-2-aminophenol, 4-Nitro-2-aminophenol-6-sulphonic acid, 6-Acetylamino-1-amino-2-napthol-4-sulphonic acid, including, for example, compounds already mentioned in the recitation of possible diazo components.

The coupling products, for example, of the abovementioned diazo components with appropriate pyridones are possible aminoazo compounds which can be introduced into the reactive radicals after the coupling.

The halides or anhydrides of organic acids which contain easily replaceable atoms or groups of atoms are, in particular, possible acylating agents which, in addition to the acylating moiety, also contain a reactive radical.

As an acylating agent containing a reactive radical, the following may for example be mentioned:

As such compounds, the radicals of which can be bonded in the 2-position to the triazine nucleus by reaction with trihalogenotriazines, the following may for example be mentioned: aliphatic or aromatic mercapto or hydroxy compounds, such as thioalcohols, thioglycolic acid, thiophenols, alkoxyalkanols, methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol, glycolic acid, phenol, chlorophenols or nitrophenols, phenolcarboxylic and phenolsulphonic acids, naphthols, naohtholsulphonic acids and the like, but in particular ammonia and compounds containing amino groups which can be acylated, such as hydroxylamine, hydrazine, phenylhydrazine, phenylhydrazinesulphonic acids, glycolmonoalkyl ethers, methylamine, ethylamine, isopropylamine, methoxyethylamine, methoxypropylamine, dimethylamine, diethylamine, methylphenylamine, ethylenephenylamine, chloroethylamine, ethanolamines, propanolamines, benzylamine, cyclohexylamine, morpholine, piperidine, piperazine, aminocarbonic acid esters, aminoacetic acid ester, aminoethane-sulphonic acid. N-methylaminoethanesulphonic acid, but, above all, aromatic amines, such as aniline, N-methylaniline, toluidines, xylidines, chloroanilines, P- or m-aminoacetanilide, aminophenols, anisidine, phenetidine and, in particular, anilines containing acid groups, sulphanilic acid, methanilic acid, orthanilic acid, anilinedisulphonic acid, aminobenzylsulphonic acid, aniline- -methanesulphonic acid, aminobenzenedicarboxylic acids, naphthylaminomonosulphonic, -disulphonic and -trisulphonic acids, aminobenzoic acids, such as 2-hydroxy-5-aminobenzoic acid, and in addition also colored compounds, or compounds with dyestuff character, for example 4-nitro-4'-aminostilbenedisulphonic acid, 2-nitro-4'-amino-diphenylamino-4,3'-stilbene-disulphonic acid, 2-nitro-4'-aminodiphenylamine-4,3'-disulphonic acid and, in particular, aminoazo dyestuffs or aminoanthraquinones or phthalocyanines which still contain at least one reactive amino group.

The introduction of the substituent in the 2-position of the triazine radical can also be effected after the condensation with the starting diamine or after the reaction, according to the invention, to give the azo compound with the radical of the formula (1).

In addition to the fiber-reactive radicals which can be introduced by acylation, further such radicals which may be mentioned are, for example, the vinylsulphone, the .beta.-sulphato- or thiosulphatoethylsulphone, .beta.-thiosulphatopropionylamide, the .beta.-thiosulphatoethylsulphonylamide or the sulphonic acid-N,.beta.-sulphatoethylamide groups, which are introduced into the diazo component in another way, for example by ester formation or thioester formation.

As compounds which contain a fiber-reactive radical which cannot be introduced by acylation, and in which the fiber-reactive radical is thus preferably not bonded via an amino group, but is bonded directly to the benzene radical, the sulpho esters of the following sulphones may, in particular, be mentioned:

1-Amino-2-methoxy-5-(.beta.-hydroxyethyl)-phenylsulphone, 1-Aminobenzene-3- or -4-.beta.-hydroxyethylsulphone, 1-Amino-2-methyl-benzene-5-.beta.-hydroxyethylsulphone, 1-Amino-4-(.beta.-hydroxyethylsulphonylpropionylaminomethyl)-benzene, 1-Amino-4-(.beta.-hydroxyethylsulphonylamino)-benzene, as well as reactive compounds which can be obtained via the appropriate methylols by Einhorn's method, such as, for example, 1-amino-4-chloroacetylaminomethyl-benzene or 1-amino-3-chloroacetylaminomethyl-benzene-6-sulphonic acid.

The condensation with the acid halides or anhydrides, or with the heterocyclic halogen compounds, is advantageously carried out in the presence of acid-binding agents, such as, for example, sodium carbonate. It is to be understood that all these reactions are to be carried out in such a manner that an unsaturated bond or at least a replaceable halogen atom still remains, in the final product.

The azo compounds obtainable according to the present process and its different variants, as well as their heavy metal complexes, are new; they are suitable for dyeing and printing widely different types of materials, such as, for example, silk, leather, wool, synthetic fibers of polyamides and polyurethanes, polyester fibers or polyacrylonitrile fibers, and polyhydroxylic materials, such as, for example, cellulose-containing materials of fibrous structure, such as linen, cellulose, regenerated cellulose, cotton and the like.

The non-metallised azo compounds according to the invention are particularly important as dyestuffs.

However, the most important compounds are those azo compounds according to the invention which contain a reactive radical and a water-solubilising group, in particular a sulphonic acid group. These dyestuffs are preferably employed for dyeing nitrogen-containing fibers, such as, for example, of super polyamides, super polyurethanes, silk, leather and in particular wool, for example from weakly acid, neutral or weakly alkaline baths, optionally with the addition of customary auxiliaries, for example ethylene oxide condensation products of high molecular weight amines, and, above all, for dyeing cellulose materials, in particular cotton, for example by the exhaustion process from a dilute liquor, from alkaline baths optionally having a high salt content, and in particular by the pad-dyeing process, according to which the article is impregnated with aqueous dyestuff solutions which optionally also contain salt, and the dyestuffs are fixed after an alkali treatment or in the presence of alkali, optionally under the action of heat.

The water-soluble reactive dyestuffs according to the invention show an excellent build-up capacity. They are also suitable for printing, in particular on cotton, and also for printing nitrogen-containing fibers, for example of wool, silk or mixed fabrics containing wool.

The dyeings and prints are distinguished by interesting and valuable yellow, very pure and brilliant shades. The dyeings and prints exhibit a good stability to acids and alkalis, and a good stability to synthetic resin finishing agents, have a good fastness to light and, in particular on cotton, an outstanding fastness to wet processing. The light degree of fixation and the easy removability of non-fixed dyestuff is also worth mentioning.

In order to improve the fastness to wet processing, it is advisable to rinse the dyeings and printings obtained thoroughly with cold and hot water, optionally with the addition of an agent which has a dispersing effect and promotes the diffusion of the non-fixed material.

In the examples which follow, the parts, unless otherwise indicated, denote parts by weight, and the percentages denote percentages by weight. The relationship of parts by weight to parts by volume is the same as of the gram to the cm.sup.3.

EXAMPLE 1

A solution of 18.5 parts of cyanuric chloride in 50 parts of acetone is poured into a neutralised solution of 17.3 parts of 1-aminobenzene-3-sulphonic acid in 100 parts of water and 100 parts of ice and during the condensation, the pH is maintained at 6 to 7 by the dropwise addition of 2N sodium hydroxide solution. Upon completion of the condensation a neutral solution of 1,3-diaminobenzene-4-sulphonic acid is added, the solution is heated to 20.degree.-25.degree. C. and the pH maintained at 6 to 7 by the dropwise addition of 2N sodium hydroxide solution. As soon as no more diaminobenzenesulphonic acid can be detected in the mixture, 7 parts of sodium nitrite are added and when this has dissolved, the solution is poured on a mixture of 200 parts of ice and 25 parts of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The yellow suspension of the diazo compound is stirred for 1 hour in an ice bath, then a slight excess of nitrous acid is annulled by the addition of aulphamic acid. A solution of 24.7 parts of 1-ethyl-3-sulphomethyl-4-methyl-6-hydroxy-pyridone-2 in 160 parts of water is then poured into this diazo solution. The pH, which is initially 1.5, is raised to 3.5 by the dropwise addition of sodium hydroxide solution, when a clear yellow solution is obtained. This solution is stirred for 1 hour at pH 3.5 in an ice bath and the dyestuff is precipitated by addition of potassium chloride. The resulting dyestuff dyes cotton in pure greenish yellow shades.

The coupling component is prepared as follows:

153 parts of 1-ethyl-4-methyl-6-hydroxy-pyridone-2 are dissolved in 1500 parts of water at pH 8 with the addition of 100 parts of 40% sodium hydroxide solution. To this solution is added dropwise at 30.degree.-35.degree. C. within 15 minutes an aqueous solution of the adduct of sodium bisulphate and formaldehyde (prepared by mixing 260 parts of 40% sodium bisulphite solution and 81 parts of 37% formaldehyde solution). The weakly exothermic reaction causes the temperature to rise to about 55.degree. C. The solution is stirred for 1 hour at this temperature, then is acidified with 110 parts by volume of 36% hydrochloric acid and cooled to 5.degree. C. A small amount of crystallized starting material is filtered off after 1 hour, and the residual solution can be used direct for the coupling.

The corresponding compounds containing a sulphomethyl group are obtained if 1,4-dimethyl-6-hydroxy-pyridone or 2,6-dihydroxy-pyridone is used instead of 1-ethyl-4-methyl-6-hydroxy-pyridone.

Further yellow dyestuffs are obtained when, in accordance with the directions of Example 1, the amines listed in column 1 of the following Table are condensed with cyanuric chloride, the resulting monocondensation products are condensed with the diamines listed in column II, diazotised, and coupled with the coupling components listed in column III.

EXAMPLE 2

9.4 Parts of 1,3-diaminobenzene-4-sulphonic acid are suspended in 100 parts of water and dissolved by addition of alkali to a pH of 7. To this solution are added at room temperature and with good stirring 10.4 parts of 2-isopropoxy-4,6-dichloro-1,3,5-triazine and the pH is maintained at 6-7 during the condensation by the dropwise addition of 2N sodium hydroxide solution.

Upon completion of the condensation, the condensation mixture is cooled to 0.degree.

A solution of 11.6 parts of 1,4-dimethyl-3-sulphomethyl-6-hydroxy-pyridone-2 in 60 parts of water is poured into the resulting diazo suspension and the coupling mixture is adjusted to pH 7 by the dropwise addition of 5N sodium hydroxide solution within 1 hour.

The coupling component is obtained by heating for 1 hour equivalent amounts of 1,4-dimethyl-6-hydroxypyridone-2 and the bisulphite adduct of 3-aminobenzaldehyde in aqueous solution to 60.degree. C.

The same dyestuff is also obtained when, after the condensation with cyanuric chloride, condensation with ammonia is first carried out and then coupling.

DYEING INSTRUCTION I

2 Parts of the dyestuff of Example 1, 1st. paragraph, are dissolved in 100 parts of water.

A cotton fabric is impregnated on a padder with this solution, and the excess liquid is squeezed out so that the material retains 75 % of its weight of dyestuff solution.

The article thus impregnated is dried, then impregnated at room temperature in a solution which contains, per liter, 10 g of sodium hydroxide and 300 g of sodium chloride, squeezed out to 75% liquid uptake, and steamed at 100 to 101.degree. C. for 60 seconds. The article is then rinsed, soaped at the boil for quarter of an hour in a 0.3% strength solution of and ion-free detergent, rinsed and dried.

A fixed dyeing which is fast to boiling is obtained. If a cellulose fabric is used instead of a cotton fabric, a similary good result is obtained.

PRINTING INSTRUCTION

2 Parts of the dyestuff obtained according to Example 2 are mixed with 20 parts of urea, dissolved in 28 parts of water, and stirred into 40 parts of a 5% strength sodium alginate thickener. 10 Parts of a 10% strength sodium carbonate solution are then added.

A cotton fabric is printed on a roller printing machine using this printing ink, is dried, and the print obtained is steamed at 105.degree. C. for 8 minutes. The printed fabric is then thoroughly rinsed in cold and hot water and dried.
