Abstract
The invention relates to a process for dyeing synthetic polyamide fibre material with dyes or dye mixtures in the presence of a mixture of dyeing assistants, which comprises using for the dyeing of these materials an aqueous liquor which contains at least one anionic dye which, under the defined dyeing conditions, has a degree of exhaustion of at least 95% at 1/1 standard depth of shade, and a dyeing assistant mixture containing an anionic compound, a quaternary compound and a non-ionic compound, and wherein the liquor contains an alkali metal salt and an organic acid, and finishing the dyeing at pH 5-7, preferably pH 5.5-6, and at a temperature of 95.degree. to 130.degree. C.The process according to the invention is suitable for dyeing synthetic polyamide materials, producing level dyeings having good fastness properties with all types of dye or mixtures of dyes of identical or different types.
Description

The present invention relates to a novel process for dyeing synthetic polyamide materials with anionic dyes of various dye classes in pale to dark shades from aqueous liquors and constant pH 5-7 irrespective of the depth of the dyeing and irrespective of the class of dye used, the dyebath being virtually completely exhausted and the dyeing having good allround fastness properties, in particular good wet fastness and good light fastness properties, and to the material dyed with the novel process.
The disadvantage of existing methods of dyeing synthetic polyamides is that dyeing must take place at different pH values depending not only on whether pale or dark shades are to be obtained but also on the class of dye to which the dye used belongs.
The dyebath pH is a critical factor in the reproducibility of dyeings of synthetic polyamide materials.
A further disadvantage of existing dyeing methods is that the dyeing assistants used for levelling out and covering up stripiness inherent in the material are adapted to be used in combination with a particular class of dye; in other words, the dyeing assistants used in the existing dyeing methods do not give equally good results with all classes of dye. In particular, the dyes used in combination shade dyeings of different classes of dye need to have been chosen with care.
We have now found, surprisingly, an integrated process which is free of the disadvantages and problems mentioned and permits synthetic polyamides to be dyed in a simple manner at pH 5-7 irrespective of the desired depth of shade and irrespective of the type of dye or even mixtures of different types of dye.
The present invention accordingly provides a process for dyeing synthetic polyamide fibre material with dyes or dye mixtures in the presence of a mixture of dyeing assistants, which comprises using for the dyeing of these materials an aqueous liquor which contains at least one anionic dye which, under the defined dyeing conditions, has a degree of exhaustion of at least 95% at 1/1 standard depth of shade, and a dyeing assistant mixture containing an anionic compound, a quaternary compound and a nonionic compound, and wherein the liquor contains an alkali metal salt and an organic acid, and finishing the dyeing at pH 5-7, preferably pH 5.5-6. and at a temperature of 95.degree. to 130.degree. C.
The preferred dyeing assistant mixture contains an anionic compound of the formula ##STR1## in which R is an alkyl or alkenyl radical having 12 to 22 carbon atoms, M is hydrogen, an alkali metal or ammonium, and m and n are integers such that m and n add up to 2 to 14, a quarternary compound of the formula ##STR2## in which R', independently of R, is defined in the same way as R, A is an anion, Q is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl radical, and p and q are integers such that p and q add up to 20 to 50, and a nonionic compound of the formula ##STR3## in which R", independently of R, is defined in the same way as R, and x and y are integers such that x and y add up to 80 to 140.
The anionic dyes which can be used can belong to all classes of dye and can, if desired, contain one or more sulfonic acid groups and, if desired, one or more fibre-reactive groups. They are in particular triphenylmethane dyes having at least two sulfonic acid groups, monazo and disazo dyes which are free of heavy metals but which each contain one or more sulfonic acid groups and can, if desired, also contain one or more fibre-reactive groups, and monoazo, disazo, azomethine and formazan dyes which contain heavy metal, in particular copper, chromium, nickel or cobalt, in particular metallised dyes which contain, bonded to a metal atom, two molecules of azo dye of one molecule of azo dye and one molecule of azomethine dye, especially those which contain monoazo and/or disazo dye and/or azomethine dye ligands and a chromium or cobalt ion as the central metal ion, as well as anthraquinone dyes, in particular 1-amino-4-arylaminoanthraquinone-2-sulfonic acids or 1,4-diarylamino- or 1-cycloalkylamino-4-arylaminoanthraquinonesulfonic acids. Fibre-reactive groups are to be understood as meaning groups which enter a covalent bond with the synthetic polyamide material.
The amounts in which the dyes are used in the dyebaths can vary within wide limits according to the desired depth of shade, but amounts of 0.001 to 6 percent by weight (on weight of fibre) of one or more dyes have generally been found to be advantageous.
1/1 standard depth of shade is understood as meaning the depth of shade designated 1/1 in DIN (German standard) 54,000.
A degree of exhaustion of at least 95% means that less than 5% of the amount of dye used in the process according to the invention remains behind in the bath after the dyeing.
If desired, it is also possible to use mixtures of anionic dyes in the process according to the invention. Preferred mixtures of anionic dyes of the type defined contain
(a) at least two dyes; or
(b) at least three dyes; or
(c) for trichromatic dyeing, at least three dyes from among yellow- or orange-, red- and blue-dyeing dyes.
Trichromatic dyeing is to be understood as meaning the additive colour mixture of suitably chosen yellow- or orange-, red- and blue-dyeing dyes with which any desired shade of the visible spectrum can be matched by a suitable choice of the mixing ratios of the dyes.

The sulfo-containing dyes used in the process according to the invention are either in the form of their free sulfonic acid or preferably in the form of the salts of that acid.
Examples of suitable salts are the alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and ammonium salts and the salts of organic amines. Examples are the sodium, lithium, potassium and ammonium salts and the salt of triethanolamine.
M.sup..sym. in the formulae (35) to (39) indicated above is an alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or ammonium ion, for example the sodium, potassium, lithium or ammonium ion.
If dye mixtures are used in the process according to the invention these can be prepared by mixing the individual dyes. This mixing takes place for example in suitable mills, for example ball and pin mills, as well as in kneaders or mixers.
The dye mixtures, furthermore, can be prepared by spray-drying aqueous dye mixtures.
In the process according to the invention preference is given to the dyes of the formulae (62) to (65) and to the mixtures of dyes of the formulae (23)+(24)+(30)+(39), (25)+(42), (26)+(26a)+(27), (31)+(38), (40)+(44), (41)+(54), (32)+(37)+(56), (35)+(39)+(53)+(57), (36)+(51)+(53), (43)+(45)+(46)+(47)+(49) and (51)+(55). The individual dyes and the dye mixtures are distinguished by excellent compatibility, permitting the dyeing of virtually all shades for synthetic polyamide material.
Suitable radicals R, R' and R" in the formulae (1), (2) and (3), independently of one another, are each alkyl or alkenyl radicals having 12 to 22, preferably 16 to 22, carbon atoms. Specific examples are the n-dodecyl, myristyl, n-hexadecyl, n-heptadecyl, n-octadecyl, arachidyl, behenyl, dodecenyl, hexadecenyl, oleyl and octadecenyl radicals.
A suitable radical M in the formula (1) is hydrogen, alkali metals such as sodium or potassium, or, in particular, ammonium.
The radical Q and the anion A.sup.- in the formula (2) are derived from quaternising agents, Q being a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl radical. Examples of suitable quaternising agents of this type are chloroacetamide, ethyl bromide, ethylene chlorohydrin, ethylene bromohydrin, epichlorohydrin, epibromohydrin and in particular dimethyl sulfate.
The dyeing assistant mixture used in the process according to the invention preferably contains 5 to 70 parts of the compound of the formula (1), 15 to 60 parts of the compound of the formula (2) and 5 to 60 parts of the compound of the formula (3), based on 100 parts of the dyeing assistant mixture.
In a preferred version of the process, the dyeing assistant mixture used, in addition to the compounds of the formulae (1), (2) and (3), also contains an adduct of 60 to 100 parts of ethylene oxide on to one part of a C.sub.15-20 -alkenyl alcohol. Examples of a C.sub.15-20 -alkenyl alcohol are hexadecenyl, oleyl and octadecenyl alcohols. Preferably, 5 to 10 parts, in particular 7 to 9 parts, of the adduct are used per 100 parts of the dyeing assistant mixture.
The amount in which the dyeing assistant mixture consisting of the compound of the formula (1), (2) and (3) and, if desired, also the above adduct of ethylene oxide on a C.sub.15-20 -alkenyl alcohol are added to the dyebath vary between 0.5 and 2 percent by weight on weight of fibre. It is preferably used 1 percent by weight of dyeing assistant mixture on weight of fibre.
The dyebaths, as further additives, can contain organic acids, advantageously low aliphatic carboxylic acids, for example in particular acetic acid. The main purpose of the acids is to bring the liquors used according to the invention to the correct pH.
The dyeing liquor can also contain alkali metal salts, for example sodium acetate. They preferably contain per liter 2 g of sodium acetate.
The dyebaths, in addition to the dye and said dyeing assistant mixture, can also contain further customary additives, for example wetting and defoaming agents, deaerating agents and carriers.
The liquor ratio can be chosen within a wide range, mainly from 5:1 to 40:1, preferably 8:1 to 25:1.
The dyeing is effected from an aqueous liquor by the exhaust method, for example at temperatures between 95.degree. and 130.degree. C., preferably at the boil.
The dyeing generally takes 10 to 50 minutes at the final dyeing temperature.
The process according to the invention requires no special apparatus. It is possible to use conventional dyeing apparatus and machines, for example for loose stock, tops, hanks, wound packages, piece goods and carpets.
The mixture of dyeing assistants is advantageously admixed to the aqueous liquor containing the dye and is applied at the same time as the dye. It is also possible first to treat the goods with a mixture of dyeing assistants and then to carry out the dyeing in the same bath after the dye has been added. The fibre material is preferably put into a liquor which contains per liter 2 g of sodium acetate and--to establish pH 5.5-6--sufficient acetic acid and the dyeing assistant mixture and has a temperature of 30.degree. to 70.degree. C. The dye or mixture of dyes is then added, and the temperature of the dyebath is raised at a rate of 0.75 to 3.degree. C. per minute, if appropriate with a temperature stop during the heating-up, and dyeing takes place within the specified temperature range, from 95.degree. to 130.degree. C., preferably for 10 to 50 minutes. At the end the bath is cooled down, and the dyed material is, as customary, rinsed and dried.
The synthetic polyamide fibre material which can be dyed according to the invention can consist of any known synthetic polyamide. The fibre material can be dyed at various stages in processing, for example in the form of loose stock, tops, yarn, piece goods or carpets.
Compared with the known methods for fibre material made of synthetic polyamides the process according to the invention in addition to those already mentioned, also has the following advantages. The material thus dyed under uniform dyeing conditions is distinguished by excellent reproducibility of the desired shade. The dyeings obtained are also distinguished by good allround fastness properties, in particular good light and wet fastness properties, and they are dyed level irrespective of the chosen hue and even irrespective of the chosen mixture of different types of dye. A further significant advantage is that the dyes are virtually completely absorbed. At the end of the dyeing process the dyebaths are almost completely exhausted.
The compounds of the formulae (1), (2) and (3) are known.
The compounds of the formula (1) can be prepared by adding 2 to 14 moles of ethylene oxide on to aliphatic amines which have an alkyl or alkenyl radical of 12 to 22 carbon atoms, and converting the adduct into the acid ester and, if desired, converting the acid ester obtained into the alkali metal or ammonium salts. The compounds of the formula (2) are prepared by adding for example 20 to 50 moles of ethylene oxide on to aliphatic amines which have an alkyl or alkenyl radical of 12 to 22 carbon atoms, and converting the adduct with one of the abovementioned quaternising agents into the compound of the formula (2).
The compounds of the formula (3) are prepared by adding 80 to 140 moles of ethylene oxide on to a compound of the formula ##STR30## in which R" is as defined under the formula (3).
The amines which are required as starting materials for preparing the compounds of the formulae (1) and (2) can have saturated or unsaturated, branched or unbranched hydrocarbon radicals of 12 to 22, preferably 16 to 22, carbon atoms. The amines can be single compounds or mixtures. The amine mixtures used are preferably of the type formed in the conversion of natural fats or oils, for example tallow fat or soya or coconut oil, into the corresponding amines. Specific examples of amines are dodecylamine, hexadecylamine, octadecylamine, arachidylamine, behenylamine and octadecenylamine. Tallowamine is preferred. It constitutes a mixture of 30% of hexadecylamine, 25% of octadecylamine and 45% of octadecenylamine.
Both the addition of ethylene oxide and the esterification can be carried out using methods known per se. The esterification can be performed using sulfuric acid or its functional derivatives, for example chlorosulfonic acid or in particular sulfamic acid.
The esterification is generally carried out by simply mixing the reactants while heating them, advantageously to a temperature between 50.degree. and 100.degree. C. The free acids can then be converted into the alkali metal or ammonium salts by adding, in conventional manner, bases, for example ammonia, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.
