Description

The present invention relates to improved compounds suitable for use in dyeing and printing materials containing hydroxyl group and/or amide group, particularly those such as cellulose fiber, natural and synthetic polyamide fibers, polyurethane fiber, leather and mixed yarns thereof, to obtain a red color fast to light and wetness, as well as application of said compounds.

There are known compounds having a vinyl sulfone type reactive group and a monohalogenotriazine type reactive group in one molecule and compounds having two vinyl sulfone type reactive groups in one molecule, as disclosed in EP 384276, etc. However, they are yet insufficient from the viewpoint of dyeing performances such as build-up property, and a further improvement of these dyes is waited for.

A variety of reactive dyes have hitherto been used extensively for dyeing and printing fiber materials. Today's level of the technique, however, is unsatisfactory from the viewpoint of the high requirements concerning applicability to particular dyeing processes and the requirement concerning fastness properties of the dyed products which is becoming higher.

For example, the so far known reactive dyes are unsatisfactory in solubility, dyeing performances such as build-up property, and fastness properties, and it is intensely desired to develop a more improved dye.

The excellency in build-up property is a very important factor of the dye, because today's dyeing processes have become requiring a more and more elevated economicity. The present inventors have conducted extensive studies with the aim of discovering a novel compound capable of overcoming the above-mentioned faults of the known dyes and extensively fulfilling the necessary conditions which a dye must fulfil, and as a result, the present invention has been accomplished.

Dyeing Example 1

Each of the monoazo compounds (0.3 part) obtained in Examples 1 to 8 was dissolved into water (200 parts). Sodium sulfate (20 parts) and cotton (10 parts) were added, and the temperature was elevated to 50.degree. C. After 30 minutes had passed, sodium carbonate (4 parts) was added and dyeing was carried out at that temperature for one hour. After completing the dyeing, the dyed cotton was washed with water and soaped to obtain a orange- or red-colored dyed product of high color depth excellent in fastness properties, particularly chlorine fastness, sunlight fastness and perspiration-sunlight fastness, and build-up property.

Dyeing Example 2

Each of the monoazo compounds (0.3 part) obtained in Examples 1 to 8 was dissolved into water (300 parts). Sodium sulfate (30 parts) and cotton (10 parts) were added, and the temperature was elevated to 60.degree. C. After 20 minutes had passed, sodium carbonate (5 parts) was added, and dyeing was carried out at that temperature for one hour. After completing the dyeing, the dyed cotton was washed with water and soaped to obtain a orange- or red-colored dyed product of high color depth excellent in fastness properties, particularly sunlight fastness and perspiration-sunlight fastness, and build-up property.

A mercerized cotton broad cloth was printed with each color paste. After intermediate drying, it was steamed at 100.degree. C. for 5 minutes, washed with hot water, soaped, again washed with hot water and dried.

Thus, there was obtained orange- or red-colored printed products high in fixation percentage and excellent in fastness properties, particularly sunlight fastness and perspiration-sunlight fastness, and build-up property.

Dyeing Example 4

Each of the monoazo compounds (25 parts) obtained in Examples 1 to 8 was dissolved into hot water and cooled to 25.degree. C. Then, 32.5% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (5.5 parts) and 50.degree. B e water glass (150 parts) were added thereto together with a quantity of water enough to give a total quantity of 1,000 parts at 25.degree. C. Immediately after it, the resulting solution was used as a padding solution to pad a cotton woven fabric. After winding up the padded cotton woven fabric, it was tightly sealed with a polyethylene film and stored in a room kept at 20.degree. C.

On the other hand, another cotton woven fabric was padded, wound up and sealed with a polyethylene film in the same manner as above, and stored in a room kept at 5.degree. C. Both the padded fabrics were allowed to stand for 20 hours, and the dyed products thus obtained were washed first with cold water and then with hot water, soaped in a boiling detergent, again washed with cold water and dried.

Differences in the hue and the color depth between the dyed product stored at 20.degree. C. for 20 hours and the dyed product stored at 5.degree. C. for 20 hours were measured. As the result, scarce differences were obtained between them. By a cold batch up dyeing, dyed products excellent in build-up property were obtained therefrom.

Dyeing Example 5

Each of the monoazo compounds (25 parts) obtained in Examples 1 to 8 was dissolved into hot water and cooled to 25.degree. C. Then, 32.5% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (10 parts) and anhydrous sodium sulfate (30 parts) were added thereto together with a quantity of water enough to give a total quantity of 1,000 parts at 25.degree. C. Immediately after it, the resulting solution was used as a padding solution to pad a viscose rayon woven fabric. The padded viscose rayon fabric was wound up, tightly sealed with a polyethylene film, and stored in a room kept at 20.degree. C.

On the other hand, another viscose rayon woven fabric was padded, wound up and sealed with a polyethylene film in the same manner as above. It was stored in a room kept at 5.degree. C.

After allowing both the padded fabrics to stand for 20 hours, the dyed products thus obtained were washed first with cold water and then with hot water, soaped in a boiling detergent, again washed with cold water and dried.

Differences in the hue and the color depth between the dyed product stored at 20.degree. C. for 20 hours and the dyed product stored at 5.degree. C. for 20 hours were measured. As the result, starce differences were observed between them.

Dyeing Example 6
