Parent Case Info
The present invention relates to polyazo compounds, a process for producing the same and a process for dyeing or printing fiber materials using the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to polyazo compounds having both vinylsulfone type fiber reactive group and pyridinium fiber reactive group in one molecule, which are particularly useful for dyeing fiber materials including hydroxy group and/or amide group-containing materials such as cellulose fiber, natural or synthetic polyamide fiber, polyurethane fiber, leather and mixed fibers thereof to give dyed or printed products superior in light and wet fastness properties.
Polyazo fiber reactive dyes have been used for dyeing or printing fiber materials particularly those such as cellulose fibers. Of these, so-called vinylsulfone type fiber reactive dyes are prominent because of their superior dye performance.
In recent years, however, needs for the fiber reactive dyes became severe from technical and economical point of view, and the actual level of technology is not yet satisfactory for meeting high demands particularly with respect to applicability for a specific dyeing technology and fastness properties of dyed or printed products.
Fiber reactive dyes having both vinylsulfone type fiber reactive group and pyridiniumtriazinyl reactive group in one molecule are disclosed, for example, in JP-A-60-173060. However, they are still insufficient in the dye performance and await for improvement particularly with respect to solubility, build-up property and fastness properties.
The properties of solubility, build-up and fastness are critical aspects of the use of any compound for dyeing or printing fiber materials, and the build-up property of a compound is its most significant property for use in dyeing or printing fiber materials. A compound with a high build-up property permits the use of lesser amounts of compound to achieve a color depth as compared to a given amount of compound having poor build-up property. Moreover, a compound having a high build-up property can achieve a deeper color than compounds having poor build-up property even though such poor build-up compounds are used in greater amounts.
The present inventors have undertaken extensive studies to improve known fiber reactive dyes and to find a compound meeting extensive needs of high level for fiber reactive dyes. As a result, it has been found that the object of the present invention can be accomplished by combining a specific chromophore with both vinylsulfone type fiber reactive group and pyridiniumtriazinyl reactive group in a specific manner.

In the above, the 2,4,6-trihalogeno-s-triazine is preferably cyanuric chloride or fluoride.
After completion of the reaction, the desired polyazo compound-containing reaction mixture may be formed into a liquid commercial product, if desired, after removing inorganic salts and with addition of a stabilizer or a dyeing improver The liquid product obtained or the aforesaid reaction mixture may be subjected to evaporation or spray-drying, thereby obtaining a solid commercial product. Alternatively, according to a conventional manner, the reaction mixture may be formed into either a liquid or solid commercial product through salting-out using an electrolyte.
The polyazo compound (I) in accordance with the present invention may be in the form of a free acid or preferably in the form of alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salt such as sodium, potassium or lithium salt.
The polyazo compound (I) of the present invention is fiber-reactive and useful for dyeing or printing hydroxyl group-containing and amide group-containing materials in a fibrous form including unmixed or mixed fibers.
The hydroxyl group-containing materials include natural or synthetic hydroxyl group-containing materials such as cellulose fiber materials, regenerated products thereof and polyvinyl alcohol. Examples of the cellulose fiber materials are cotton and other vegetable fibers such as linen, hemp, jute and ramie fibers. Examples of the regenerated cellulose fibers are viscose staple and filament viscose.
The amide group-containing materials include synthetic or natural polyamide and polyurethane. Examples of the materials, particularly in the fibrous forms, are wool and other animal furs, silk, leather, polyamide-6,6, polyamide-6, polyamide-11 and polyamide-4.
The dyeing may be carried cut in a suitable manner, which can be selected from conventional manners depending on the physical and chemical properties of said fiber materials
For example, cellulose fiber materials can be dyed using the polyazo compound by an exhaustion dyeing, padding including cold batch-up dyeing or printing method.
The exhaustion dyeing can be carried out at a relatively low temperature in the presence of an acid binding agent such as sodium carbonate, trisodium phosphate, sodium hydroxide and the like, if desired, using a neutral salt such as sodium sulfate, sodium chloride and the like, together with a hydrotropic agent, a penetrant or a level dyeing agent. The neutral salt suitable for promoting the exhaustion may be added to a dye bath before or after temperature reaching a desired level for the dyeing, if desired, dividedly.
The padding can be carried out by padding the fiber materials at ambient temperature or an elevated temperature, and after drying, steaming or dry-heating the materials to perform the dye-fixation.
The printing can be carried out in a one-phase or two-phase manner. The one-phase printing may be conducted by printing the fiber materials with a printing paste containing an acid binding agent such as sodium hydrogencarbonate and the like, followed by steaming at a temperature of 100.degree. to 160.degree. C. The two-phase printing may be conducted by printing the fiber materials with a neutral or weakly acidic printing paste, and passing the materials through a hot alkaline bath containing an electrolyte or over-padding the materials with an alkaline padding liquor containing an electrolyte, followed by a steaming or dry-heating treatment.
For the preparation of the printing paste, a paste or emulsifier such as sodium alginate, starch ether and the like may be used, if desired, together with a conventional auxiliary agent such as urea and/or dispersing agent.
The acid binding agent useful for fixing the compound of the present invention on the cellulose fiber materials includes water-soluble basic salts consisting of alkali or alkaline earth metals and inorganic or organic acids or compounds capable of liberating alkali under heating conditions. Preferred are alkali metal hydroxides and alkali metal salts of inorganic or organic acids having a weak or medium strength. Particularly preferred are sodium salts and potassium salts. Examples thereof are sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium hydrogencarbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium formate, potassium carbonate, sodium dihydrogenphosphate, disodium hydrogenphosphate, trisodium phosphate, sodium silicate, sodium trichloroacetate and the like.
The dyeing of natural or synthetic polyamide and polyurethane fiber materials can be carried out by performing exhaustion in an acid or weak acid bath, while controlling the pH value, and then making the bath neutral, or in some cases alkaline to perform the fixation. The dyeing temperature ranges usually from 60.degree. to 120.degree. C. In order to achieve a level dyeing, there may be used a conventional level dyeing agent such as condensation product between cyanuric chloride and 3 times by mole of aminobenzenesulfonic acid or aminonaphthalene-sulfonic acid, or an addition product between stearylamine and ethylene oxide, and the like.
The polyazo compound of the present invention can be characterized by excellent dye performance in the dyeing and printing of fiber materials, particularly those such as cellulose fiber materials. For example, the compound can give a dyed product excellent in light fastness, perspiration-light fastness, wet fastness such as washing resistance, peroxide-washing resistance, chlorine resistance, perspiration resistance and acid-hydrolysis resistance, and alkali fastness, abrasion fastness and iron fastness. The polyazo compound can also exhibit extremely excellent build-up, level-dyeing and washing-off properties and high solubility as well as high exhaustion and fixation percentages. Moreover, when used for the dyeing or printing, the polyazo compound can hardly be affected by changes in dye bath conditions such as dyeing temperature and bath ratios, and therefore dyed or printed products can be obtained with a constant quality.
Furthermore, the dyed or printed products in accordance with the present invention are hard to be changed in their color on a fix-treatment or resin-finishing, or in contact with a basic material during storage.
