Abstract
A process for the dyeing and printing of leather and various textile material with developing dyestuffs is described wherein diazo salts and specific 6-membered, heterocyclic coupling components having one ring nitrogen atom especially of the pyridone and pyridine types are applied, the coupling process being independent of the pH-value, i.e. it can be performed with a range of ca. pH 2 to 12, preferably at room temperature so that this is possible not only in alkaline but also in neutral or acid medium, depending on the substrate, and in that it is possible with it to produce with only one of the coupling components by means of variation of diazo salts the whole color range from light yellow to black.
Description

The invention relates to a process for the dyeing and printing of organic materials with developing dyestuffs, whereby these are azo dyestuffs containing, as radical of the coupling component, a 6-membered heterocyclic radical having one ring nitrogen atom, as well as to the organic materials dyed and printed with these developing dyestuffs.
Processes for dyeing and printing with substantive developing dyestuffs have been known for a long time. The first tests [DRP 14950 (1880), GB-PS 2757 (1880), 1638 (1881), 2946 (1882), 2580 (1885)] led to the so-called "ice colour technique", which temporarily played a part in calico printing. 2-Naphthol was used as the coupling component in this method. It was possible to influence the shade of colour by variation of the diazo component. It was not difficult in calico printing to dry the material impregnated with 2-naphthol sodium solution, to then print it with thickened diazo solution, and to wash out the 2-naphthol sodium remaining on the unprinted part. In dyeing, however, it was scarcely possible to dry yarns impregnated with 2-naphthol sodium solution so uniformly that the unfixed 2-naphthol did not migrate from the moister to the drier areas, and that by development with a diazo component an even dyeing could be obtained. The fastness properties of the obtained dyeings and printings were frequently inadequate, particularly with regard to fastness to rubbing, washing, chlorine and light. A disadvantage in application lay in the instability of the alkaline 2-naphthol solution and in the rapid atmospheric oxidation of the impregnated material. An appreciable advancement was brought about by the use of 2,3-oxynaphthoic acid arylamides [DRP 256.999, 261.594] as coupling components. These are appreciably more substantive than 2-naphthol; they are thus absorbed substantively from the alkaline solution onto the cotton fibres. Their solutions and the material impregnated therewith are more stable and the dyeings much faster. The products are insoluble and closely related with the metal-free azo pigments. They are very deeply coloured, extremely pure in shade of colour and have good fastness to light.
By the choice of different amines, numerous arylamides of 2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid and a correspondingly high number of different shades of colour can be produced. The diazo components used are diazotised anilines, benzidines, aminodiphenyl ethers, aminodiphenylamines and aminoazobenzenes. The diazonium compounds can be stabilised as salts, e.g. as metal salts.
The determining factor with regard to the further development of this dyestuff class, which surpassed in importance, the old "ice colours", was not only superiority of fastness properties, but also the possibility of production of dyeings on yarn by use of these dyestuffs. Even the most simple of the 2,3-oxynaphthoacetic acid-arylamides, the anilidine, possessed a moderate substantivity of ca. 12%. This substantivity rendered possible the development with diazo solutions also of impregnations not intermediately dried, without loosening of the impregnations from the fibres before coupling. The satisfactory dyeing of yarn as well as of wound packages and loose cotton thus became a possibility. Compared with processes involving the older techniques, this process thus has clear advantages; it has therefore become wisely used in textile dyeing, and still constitutes the most important process for developing dyestuffs.
Nevertheless, the above described process has two considerable disadvantages: At least 2 moles of sodium hydroxide solution per mole of 2,3-oxynaphthoacetic acid-arylamide are required for the dissolving of the naphthols. Moreover, the salts of the naphthols hydrolyse more or less readily depending on the constitution, so that for the said dissolving an excess of sodium hydroxide is necessary. There are used in practice therefore, according to the particular hydrolisation tendency, 2 or more (up to 16) moles of sodium hydroxide solution per mole of naphthol. The naphthol solutions are hence strongly alkaline; and since strong alkaline solutions damage wool fibres, wool cannot be dyed by the described process. A further disadvantage is that, in order to obtain all the desired shades of colour, different coupling components have to be used. The applicable coupling components embrace two types of compounds:
1. o-hydroxy-carboxylic acid-arylamides, for the most part 2,3-oxynaphthoacetic acid arylamides, for all shades except yellow, orange and red, and
2. acylacetic acid-arylamides, which couple on the reactive methylene group for yellow, orange and red shades (in connection with the described process, also these compounds as well as some oxylbenzene-carboxylic acid derivatives of group (1) are designated in practice as "naphthols"). In the case of printings having to contain a yellow and a further non-yellow shade, the application of two coupling components would hence be required. Since moreover in the range of non-yellow shades, such as green, blue, violet, etc., different naphthols are employed, it would be necessary for multicolour printings to use in such cases more than two different coupling components, which, however, cannot be applied together.
It is obvious that the stated disadvantages are of a serious nature. On the one hand, the valuable and quantitatively important wool textiles cannot be dyed or printed by the said process, while, on the other hand, printings cannot be produced which contain yellow together with non-yellow shades, e.g. blue shades. To be able nevertheless to obtain such multicoloured printings, other classes of dyestuffs have to be employed. Thus, for example, a yellow dyeing (yellow ground shade) can be produced with a reactive dyestuff on naphtholated material, and the other desired shades subsequently applied by the printing-on of the appropriate diazo components. However, such a process entails an undesirable additional amount of work, requires an increased use of the dyeing plant and thus renders the dyed textile material more expensive.
The need was therefore present to find a dyeing and printing process for developing dyestuffs which would have the advantages of the known process, yielding, e.g. dyeings having at least equally good fastness properties; by which cotton and wool, and if need be other textile fibres could be equally well dyed; and in which for all shades of colour very few coupling components -- as far as possible one only -- would be required.
It has now been found that a process substantially satisfying the above outlined requirements is obtained if diazo components and heterocyclic coupling components containing a 6-membered, heterocyclic radical having one ring nitrogen atom are applied, simultaneously or successively in any desired sequence, to the organic material to be dyed or printed, and coupled together, whereby the coupling hence occurs on the organic material to be dyed or printed. Preferably, the heterocyclic coupling component is applied first, and the diazo components subsequently allowed to act on the thus pretreated organic material.
Particularly valuable representatives of the specific coupling components render possible, purely by variation of the diazo component, the obtainment on the organic material of all shades of colour from light-yellow to black, so that complete colour systems of developing dyestuffs containing only one single coupling component can be formulated.

All these components, both the coupling and the diazo components, are used as solutions or suspensions, depending on the mode of application.
The actual process comprises (1) the "impregnation" (`Grundierung`) of the organic material (to be dyed) with one of the two components of the developing dyestuff, e.g., with the coupling component; and (2) the "development", i.e. the coupling with the second component, e.g. with the diazo component, that is, with the diazotised "dye base" or the already diazotised "dye salt".
The coupling with such coupling components as defined is independent of the pH-value, i.e. it can be performed within a range of ca. pH 2 to 12, preferable at room temperature, so that this is possible not only in alkaline but also in neutral or acid medium, depending on the substrate.
A high substantivity of one of the two components is in some cases desired. This can be effected in the case of the coupling component by variation of the substituents in the heterocyclic system, e.g. by molecule enlargement or by incorporation of a fibre-reactive group. For the exhaust process, however, a lower substantivity is in general preferred since in the case of high substantivity a fabric to be dyed takes from the bath, in spite of a short immersion time, an amount of coupling component appreciably higher than that corresponding to the concentration in the liquor. This can lead to deficiencies which are reflected in an ultimate unevenness. In calico printing, the impregnation at the places where it is not printed with the thickened diazo solution must be easily removable by washing, e.g. by soaping in boiling solution, a property which also depends on the substantivity. The requirements in this case, therefore, are good solubility and low affinity to the fibres.
Impregnation and development can be effected simultaneously or successively in any desired order. Various methods of carrying out the said dyeing and printing process can be applied. With regard to dyeing, for example, the exhaust process from a long liquor, as well as semi- and fully-continuous processes, is suitable. The printing can be performed as a direct printing, reserve printing or discharge printing.
The procedure in the case of exhaust dyeing is, for example, as follows: impregnation with the coupling component, in certain cases in the presence of bath additives, e.g. protective colloids such as Turkey red oil, fatty acid/albumen condensates or sulphite liquor, metal-complex-forming agents, and salts such as sodium chloride or sodium sulphate; if necessary an intermediate rinsing in a cold sodium chloride bath; then removal of excess coupling component by centrifuging, filtration under suction or squeezing, or, depending on the substantivity of the coupling component, by rinsing in a sodium chloride solution, optionally intermediate drying; and development with the dye bases. The dye bases firstly have to be diazotised. This can be effected by the usual methods, e.g. by means of sodium nitrite and mineral acid, e.g. hydrochloric acid. Free amines are converted before diazotisation into their salts, if necessary by heating with moderately concentrated acid, which is diluted before diazotisation. The obtained diazo compounds are then coupled in an acid, neutral or alkaline aqueous medium with the coupling component. Instead of diazotised dye bases, it is also possible to use dye salts, i.e. stabilised diazonium compounds. Suitable stabilisers and precipitation reagents for the dye salts are: metal chlorides such as ZnCl.sub.2, CdCl.sub.2, CoCl.sub.2 or MnCl.sub.2, which can be precipitated with the diazo compound as a complex from the aqueous solution, aromatic sulphonic acids, which can be used as free acids or also as alkali salts, and which form with diazonium compounds pure salts, particularly naphthalenedisulphonic acids, hydrofluoroboric acid, which likewise forms with diazo compounds pure salts, acylamino-aryl-sulphonic acids such as acetylsulphanilic acid. In some cases, also the diazonium chlorides or acid sulphates themselves can be precipitated and used. The stabilised diazonium salts contain also inert salts. With the use of dye salts, an addition of alkali-binding agents, such as acetic acid, formic acid, sodium acetate/acetic acid, chromium acetate or mono- or disodium phosphate, is necessary where coupling is performed in alkaline solution, since dye salts are decomposed by alkali action. The addition of a dispersing agent is advantageous. The material impregnated with the coupling component as defined is not sensitive to air, so that an addition of stabilisers or the like to the impregnation bath is not necessary. The dyeing can receive an aftertreatment in the form of subsequent soaping with soap, or with a synthetic detergent, or dispersing agent and soda and a water-softening agent at 60.degree. - 90.degree. C. This aftertreatment produces better fastness to rubbing and also purer shades of colour.
In the case of dyeing by the continuous process, the material, e.g. piece goods, is slop-padded with the solution of the coupling component containing a protective colloid, and optionally a dispersing agent and a thickener, e.g. tragacanth. The material is intermediately dried and subsequently slop-padded with the solution of a diazotised dye base or dye salt. There is applied a passage of air, with development being then performed in a hot-water bath, by partial drying on drying cylinders or in a steam box. The aftertreatment is carried out on an open width washing machine or on a rope washing machine. In the dyeing of wool and natural silk, the development is preferably performed in acid solution buffered with mono- or disodium phosphate or with sodium acetate/acetic acid; and for the aftertreatment there is used a solution of detergent, water-softening agent and ammonia, or of detergent and acetic acid, at moderately elevated temperature or in a boiling bath. If necessary, e.g., in the dyeing of acetate silk, it is also possible to apply the coupling component together with the undiazotised dye base in the dispersed form to the fibres; diazotisation with sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid and subsequent coupling are then performed, followed by rinsing and aftertreatment.
Direct printing can be carried out, for example, by a process in which the material is padded with the coupling component, whereby, on account of the subsequent removal of the coupling component from the unprinted areas, a low substantivity is necessary; evenly dried in a hot air drying machine or on a drying cylinder; printed with printing ink containing the thickened dye salt or dye base diazotised in the printing ink; and finally soaped in boiling soap solution. The printing can also be performed by a process in which the coupling component is printed onto the material; this dried; then padded with a solution of the diazo component; treated in a hot sodium bisulphite bath; and finally rinsed and soaped in a boiling soap solution.
A printing can also be obtained without impregnation of the material to be printed; in this case a mixture of coupling component and antidiazotate is printed onto the material, this dried, and the noncoupling antidiazotate converted into a coupling diazonium compound. This can be effected by fairly long exposure to air or steaming, and subsequent passage through a hot, electrolyte-containing bath with an addition of organic acid, e.g. formic acid or acetic acid.
Furthermore, it is possible to print with a mixture of coupling component and diazoamino compound, with the addition of a thickening agent and wetting agent. After drying, the stable diazoamino compound is converted by acid treatment -- passage through a hot, electrolyte--containing bath with organic acid, or by steaming in acid vapour, into a coupling diazonium compound.
The printing according to the present invention may also be performed as a resist printing. In the case of white resists, for example, thickened aluminium sulphate is used as resist, if necessary with the addition of organic acids, such as tartaric acid. Coloured resists are producible, e.g. with reactive dyestuffs, vat dyestuffs, indigosoles, pigment dyestuffs or mordant dyestuffs.
The process according to the invention is also applicable in discharge printing. Used as white discharges are, e.g., thickening, Rongalit C, potash, anthraquinone, zinc white and an anion-active product for increasing tinctorial strength.
Colour discharges can be performed, e.g., with vat dyestuffs in the rongalite-potash process, with the addition of anthraquinone and an increased amount of Rongalit C.
With regard to the above described procedures for dyeing and printing, the sequence of application of the components can also be reversed, in that, instead of the coupling component, the diazo component is first applied to the fibres, the material impregnated or printed with the diazo component being then developed with the coupling component, e.g. by padding or printing-on. In some cases, however, both components can also be applied simultaneously to the fibres.
The preferred form of application is however the one whereby the material is impregnated with the coupling component and afterwards developed with the dye base.
If the dye base carries in the ortho-position with respect to the H.sub.2 N-group an HO-group or a substituent equivalent with regard to the metal-complex formation, and the coupling component likewise contains in the ortho-position with respect to the coupling point such a group, then it is also possible to obtain metal-complex dyestuffs. Metal-complex forming substituents are, for example, hydroxy, alkoxy, carboxy or analogous groups or halogen atoms. Also applicable are, e.g., nitrogen atoms which are constituents of a heterocyclic ring. The metal-complex formation can be effected simultaneously with the coupling or afterwards. Suitable complex-forming agents are heavy metals, particularly cobalt, nickel and copper. Metal-complexing can be performed in the development bath, which is then heated to boiling temperature in the second half of the development time. Alternatively, metal-complex formation can also be effected in the aftertreatment bath with an auxiliary complex of the metal salt. Subsequent metal-complexing can be carried out fully continuously.
There are obtained by the process developing dyestuffs of the azo series which contain, as radical of the coupling component, the defined 6-membered, heterocyclic radical having one ring nitrogen atom, the said process being excellent in that, in particular, it can be used without dependence on pH-values on the widest range of organic materials, and in that it is possible with it to produce with only one of the coupling components as defined the whole colour range from light yellow to black. It is also possible with the use of different diazo components to obtain, by application of a fabric pretreated with the coupling component and of various, e.g. electronically controlled, nozzles, differential dyeing effects.
Suitable organic materials to be dyed or printed according to the invention are natural and synthetic materials of the most varied kinds, such as leather and textile materials, cellulose materials, e.g. cotton, linen, viscose, natural silk; cellulose-21/2- and triacetate, cellulose viscous (viscous rayon); polyamide materials such as wool, chlorinated wool or synthetic polyamide; polyester materials, especially textured ones; polyacrylonitrile materials; polyolefins, especially polypropylene materials; as well as, in particular, mixed fabrics such as that from, e.g. polyester/cotton or wool; cotton/wool or synthetic polyamide; wool/synthetic polyamide or polyacrylonitrile, whereby in the case of mixed fabrics there is the possibility of obtaining tone-in-tone dyeings or -printings.
These organic materials can be in the most diverse forms of processing, such as, for example, in the form of loose material, hank fabric, sliver (PAVENA), slubbing and cheeses.
The following examples illustrate the invention without limiting in any way its scope. Where not otherwise stated, parts are expressed in parts by weight; percentages are given as percent by weight; and the temperatures are in degrees Centigrade. The employed diazo components (amines) are used as diazo salts, advantageously in the form of stabilised diazonium salts.





EXAMPLE 1
A dye bath solution is prepared from 20 parts of the coupling component of the formula ##STR11## 20 parts of Turkey red oil, 6 parts of sodium hydroxide solution 36.degree. Be and 954 parts of hot water. Mercerised calico is impregnated with this solution on a three-roller foulard, squeezed out to 80 to 100% of the weight of the material and subsequently dried in a hot-air drying machine. The prepared and dried material is then printed on a screen printing machine, a roller printing machine or a rotary screen printing machine.
For the preparation of the printing inks, a stock thickening of 600 parts of a thickening agent, 50 parts of urea, 10 parts of acetic acid (80%) and 340 parts of water is produced. The printing ink is obtained by the sprinkling of 15 to 70 parts (depending on the depth of colour desired) of a diazo compound into 985 to 930 parts of the stock thickening as this is being agitated with a high speed stirrer.
