The development or fixation of a vinyl sulfone type reactive dyestuff in a fibrous material is prevented with the use of a resist printing paste comprising at least one compound which have the following general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen, an alkyl group or an aryl group, R.sub.2 is an alkyl group, an aryl group, ##STR2## and X is an alkali metal or an amine.
Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a resist printing method utilizing different reactivities of reactive dyestuffs, and particularly relates to a resist printing method for vinyl sulfone type reactive dyestuffs.
Reactive dyestuffs have been used preferably for a fast color dyeing of such materials as polyamide synthetic fiber, wool, cotton, hemp, viscose rayon, cuprammonium rayon and cellulose acetate. The use of such reactive dyestuffs for a fast color dyeing sometimes has required a resist printing. However, since an acid material, such as tartaric acid, is used as a resist in the prior art, alkali materials contained in a reactive dyestuff composition as an essential element, are neutralized. This neutralization of the alkali materials prevents development of every reactive dyestuff. Consequently, white resist printing can be achieved but color resist printing cannot be carried out with the combination of plural reactive dyestuffs. Accordingly, the aforementioned prior art method is not substantially useful.
A colored resist printing method is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 12,877 of 1969, in which alkali hydroxymethanesulfonate was used as a resist printing agent for vinyl sulfone type reactive dyestuffs to make the combination of reactive dyestuffs useful in a colored resist printing. However, the dyestuffs used in this method are limited and this method cannot be applied to the resist printing for dark colored dyestuffs such as black and dark blue. Further, if the printed pattern of the resist printing paste is allowed to stand or dried, a good resist effect is not expected. Accordingly, the resisted dyestuff must be applied subsequently to print the resist printing paste without drying. This is a problem in workability.
An object of this invention is to provide a new method for resist printing with use of reactive dyestuffs.
Another object of this invention is to provide a method for resist printing which effectively prevents development of the dark colored reactive dyestuffs.
A further object of this invention is to provide a method for resist printing which is superior in workability.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In this invention the development or fixation of a vinyl sulfone type reactive dyestuff in a fibrous material is prevented with the use of a resist printing paste comprising at least one compound which has the following general formula: ##STR3## wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen, an alkyl group or an aryl group, R.sub.2 is an alkyl group, an aryl group, ##STR4## and X is an alkali metal or an amine.
The compound having the formula (I) is easily produced by the addition reaction of an aldehyde or ketone such as acetaldehyde, butylaldehyde, benzaldehyde, glyoxal, malonaldehyde, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and acetophenone with an acid alkali sulfite or acid amine sulfite as indicated in the following reactions: ##STR5## The chain length of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is not limited, but the preferable alkyl group is that having 1 to 6 carbon atoms and the preferable aryl group is phenyl or phenyl derivatives. As X, there are preferably included sodium, potassium, lithium and tertiary amine, selected from the group consisting of trialkyl amines, trialkanol amines and alkanol amines whose alkyl or alkanol group has 1 to 4 carbon atoms, respectively.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In this invention, compound (I) is admixed with a paste to prepare a resist printing paste. The resist printing paste is printed to a fibrous material and then a dye liquid or paste comprising a vinyl sulfone type reactive dyestuff is applied to the resist printed fibrous material whereby the development of the vinyl sulfone type reactive dyestuff printed on the resist printing paste is prevented. According to the invention the reactivity of compound (I) with vinyl sulfone type reative dyestuffs is utilized. Since compound (I) is easily reacted with vinyl sulfone type reactive dyestuffs, the vinyl sulfone type reactive dyestuff printed on the resist printing paste is reacted thoroughly with compound (I) prior to reaching the surface of the fibrous material. As a result, the vinyl sulfone type reactive dyestuff cannot be developed and fixed to the fibrous material. Thus a superior resist printing is attained in the invention.
The content of compound (I) in the resist printing paste is freely selected. Generally, one % by weight of compound (I) is preferably contained and 2 to 3% by weight of compound (I) is more preferably.
Compound (I) hardly reacts with dyestuffs other than from vinyl sulfone type reactive dyestuffs and if compound (I) is reacted with such other dyestuffs the reaction is very slow. Accordingly, the resist printing paste according to the invention is very useful for either white resist printing or colored resist printing. The colored dyestuffs included in the resist printing paste are not particularly limited. Compound (I) does not substantially prevent the reactivity of monochlorotriazine, trichloropyrimidine and dichloroquinoxaline dyestuffs, reactive dyestuffs similar to vinyl sulfone type dyestuffs, the development of the vinyl sulfone type dyestuffs being prevented with compound (I). So the resist printing paste according to the invention preferably comprises at least one of these reactive dyestuffs to produce a clear colored resist printing.
Further, since compound (I) is superior in heat stability and is stable to drying, a vinyl sulfone type reactive dyestuff can be applied to the printed fibrous material with the resist printing paste in the invention either after or before drying the paste. If a vinyl sulfone type dyestuff is applied after drying the resist printing paste at 100.degree. C. to 150.degree. C., the resist printing is carried out very effectively. Further, as compound (I) is very reactive, the resist printing paste according to the invention can prevent the development or fixation of all vinyl sulfone type dyestuffs including dark and light colored dyestuffs. Accordingly, the method of the invention is superior in workability and has extensive applications.

Subsequently, 20 parts of glyoxal-acid sodium sulfite dissolved in 200 parts of hot water were added to the second mixture to obtain 1000 parts of a homogeneous printing paste (A.sub.1).
On the other hand, 70 parts of Remazol Black B (manufactured by Hoechst Aktiengesellshaft) and 50 parts of urea were dissolved in 350 parts of hot water, and mixed with 500 parts of 5% sodium alginate.
