1055205
The present invention relates to the dyeing of polyester fabrics,
such as those made from polyethylene terephthalate fibers.
The present invention is directed at improving the dyeing of the
foregoing fibrics, or of the fibers or foils from which they are made, as well
as novel dyes for that purpose.
According to the present invention, there is provided a dyestuff
comprising at least one water-insoluble dye compound having the formula:
X Rl R2
02N ~ N=N ~ N=N ~ N

in which Rl, R3 and R4 can be the same or different lower alkyl or lower
alkenyl, R2 is hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy or lower alkenoxy,
X is hydrogen, chlorine, bromine, nitrile or nitro, and Y is hydrogen,
chlorine or bromine.
In another aspect, the invention provides a process of dyeing
a polyester fabric which comprises contacting said fabric with a dispersion
of at least one water-insoluble dye compound having the following formula:
X Rl R2

lOS5205
wherein Rl, R3 and R4 can be the same or (iifferent lower alkyl
or lower alkenyl, R is hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl, lower
alkoxy or lower alkenoxy, X is hydrogen, chlorine, bromine,
nitrile or nitro, and Y is hydrogen, chlorine or bromine. The
preferred lower alkyl~ lower alkenyl and lower alkoxy and
lower alkenoxy group~ each have up to four carbon atoms.
The foregoing dyes are in~oluble in water, and when
applied by conventional technique~, as~ generally referred to
in U.S. Patents 3,845,o34 and 3,772,267, generally give
particularly good dyeing, strong colors of especially good
fastne~s to light and hoat. Such dyes can be mixed together
for simultaneous dyeing,
The preferred fibers dyed pursuant to the present
invention are polyethylene terephthalate fibers, but any
polyester fiber~such as polybutylene terephthalate, poly-
ethylelle-5-sulfo-isophthalate and 1,4-dinletllylol-cyclo-
~exane terephthalate i8 also suitable for the dyeing of this
invention.
Particularly valuable in connection with the present
invention are dyes having the formulae
02N- ~ _N-N- ~ -NsN_ ~ -N II
wherein R is hydrogen or methyl or methoxy, as well as
Cl OCH3 R2

1055205
The dyestufis o~ the present invention are
insoluble in water. They are most readily utilized in the
form oi' a~ueous dispersions wherein they are present in a
fine division with particle sizes oi 0.1 to 10 ~, and
preferably 0.5 to 2 ~. These are obtained by mixing the
dyestuffs together with liquids, preferably water, and
disintegrating the mixed dye particles, optionally in the
presence oi' suitable dispersing agents.
Suitable dispersing agents are anion-active,
examples being lignin sulfonates, alkyl or alkylaryi
sulitonates or alkylarylpolyglycol ether sulionates.
The dye particle disintegration is preferably
eiiected mechanically by milling in suitable aggregates such
as ball, bead or sand mills, roll mills, grinding or impact
mills or attrition devices.
The dyestuff dispersions are prei'erably pourable ior
most of the specii'ic embodiments oi' the present invention. The
dyestui'i' and dispersing agent content is limited, there~ore,
in these instances. Generally, the dispersions are
standardized to a dyestuf~ content of up to 30 % by weight
and a dispersing agent content oi' up to about 25 %. For
economic reasons dyestuff contents usually do not iall below
15 % by weight.
The dispersions may also contain further auxiliary
agents such as iungicides, as ior example sodium-o-phenyl-
phenolate and sodium pentachlorophenolate.

~ lOS5205
The dyestuff dispersions thus obtained may be empl~yed ~ ;
advantageQusly for the standard of printing pastes and dye baths
used according to the present invention. Special advantage~ are
obtained this way in the continuous processes, for example, where-
in the dyestuff concentration of the dye baths is maintained ~ i
substantially constant by continuous dyestuff feeding into the
running apparatus. ¦
For certain specific embodiments of the novel process,
e.g. in the charging operation, in the introduction of the dye- , ¦
stuff for tinting or in the use under special climatic conditions,
powder standardizations are preferred since their technical
properties do not change over long periods of time. These powders
contain the dyestuff, dispersing agents and other auxiliary
agents such as wetting, oxidation, preserving and dust-arresting s
agents. Such powder ~tandardizations are redispersible, i.e.
with a simple stirring into a liquid medium, preferably water,
they yield stable dyestuff dispersions wherein the dyestuff
particles have the above-stated size.
A preferred method of preparation for the pulverulent
dyestuff consists of removing the liquid from ~the above-described
liquid dye~tuff dispersions. This removal may be carried out
by means of all methods suitable for this purpose such as vacuum
drying, freeze drying, drying on roller dryers, but preferably
by spray drying.

1055;~05
For the preparation oi the aqueous dye liquors to be
used according to the invention, the required amounts oi the
liquid or solid dyestuff standardizations are thinned with
water to such an extent that a dye-to-liquor ratio of 1:5 to
1:50 results. In addition, further dyeing auxiliary agents
such as dispersing, wetting and padding agents are generally
added to the liquors. As the wetting and dispersing agents
for the preparation of the liquors, the iollowing aré
considered: reaction products of alkylene oxides, such as
ethylene or propylene oxide, with alkylatable compounds, such
as i'atty alcohols, fatty amines, fatty acids, phenols,
alkylphenols, aromatic or aliphatic carboxylic acid amides
or lignin sulfonates, alkyl or alkylaryl suli'onates or
alkylaryl polyglycol ether suli'onates.
The preierred auxiliary padding agents are
polymeric acrylic acid derivat~ves, such as polyacrylamides
with a K value of about 120. The above-mentioned auxiliary
agents are preferably employed in quantities oi' 0.2 to 5 %
by weight, referring to the total weight of the dye liquor
or printing paste.
The amount of dyestuif used varies depending on the
circumstances, such as the required dye speed, the fiber
structure, the color type, and the desired depth of color.
However, preierable dyestuif quantities are up to 5 ~ of the
iiber weight.

1055Z05
For ~tandard uso of a weakly acid pH value,
organic acid~ may bo added such a~ lower aliphatic
carboxylio aoids~ examples of which are formic acid or
acetic acid. For ~tandardl~ation of an alkaline pl-l value,
alkali hydrogen casbonate, such as sodium or potassium
hydrogon oarbonate, is preferably used. The dyeing may take
place in variou~ manner~ inoluding the carrier proces~, the
HT procoee and tho thormosol process.
In tho carrler process t}le material to be dyed
wlth a dye liquor~ which is obtained as described above, 18
treated at 95-105C in the presence of up to 2 ~ by weight,
referring to the quantity of llquor, of a carrier, i.e. a
fixing agont, until the main quantlty of dyestuff has gono
on the matorial to be dyed, The tlme required for this
purpose i8 ad~usted to the clrcumstances of the particular
case, such a~ tho type of dye~tuff, the fibers and the
carrier, and fluctuates proferably within the limits of
15 - 120 ~inute~ Known Garriers which may be used in this
manner aro~ for oxample~ phenylphenols, halogenated
benzene~ and saliGylic aoid ester~.
In tho HT proceoe tho goods to be dyed are
treated with a dye liquor which contains no carrier but
otherwiso i~ propared as described above, in pressure-
re~istant dyoing containor~ under the vapor pres~ure of tho
dye liquor at 120-140 C, for 15 to 120 minutes and
preferably 15 to 60 minute~.

1055Z05
In the thermosol proce~ the good~ to be dyed are
padded with the dyo liquor and optionally after an inter-
mediatH drying~ are conduoted over lleated roLlers or through
a hot air or vapor stream, the dyestuff being fixed in the
fiber~ at temperatures of 180 - 220 C chiefly.
~ or printing on fabrics the dyes are preferably
compounded ln printing pastes containing the required
quantities of the liquid or redispersible solid dyestuff
standard formulatlon together with thickening agents, such
as alkali alginates, carob bean flour, starch, tragacanth
or even inorganlc gels~ and optionally further additives
such as organic acids, alkali, fixing accelerators, wetting
agents and oxidation agent~. Considered chief`ly as organic
acids are monobasic or multibasic aliphatic carboxylic acids,
such a~ formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, oxalic
acid, or particularly advantageously tartaric or citric acid.
A~ the alkali, sodium and potas~ium hydrogen carbonate are
preferred. Nitrobenzene derivatives, such as m_nitrobenzene
sulfonic acid, for example~ are employed advantageously for
oxidants, The thickening agents are added to the printing
pastes normally ln quantitiec of 40 - 60 g per kg printing
paste, fixing aooelerator and wetting agent in quantities
of 5 to 50 g per kg printing paste, and oxidation agent in
quantitie~ of up to 10 g per kg printlng paste.

1055Z05
The textile goods are pri~lted wit~l these printing
pastes and optionally after an interlllediate drying conducted
over heatod roller~ or through a ~tr~am of hea-ted air or
~uperheated vapor, the fixing of the dyestuff setting in the
fiber. The operation here proceeds preferably at air or roller
temperaturg~ of 150 - 220 C or at vapor temperatures of
120 - 160C,
The dyed or printed goods are washed with water,
optionally in tho presence of a watting agent, and dried.
A reductlv~ after-treatment with 0,2 ~ alkaline sodium
dithionite solution may take place for 15 minutes at 60 -
90C after the wa~hing, Subsequently it iR then again washed
with water and dried.
A further ~pecific embodiment of the dyeing
process of the pre~ent invention applied the dyestuff~ of
~ormula I to the fabrics to be dyed while the dyestuffs are
dispersed in organic ~olvents. Dye liquors 90 made generally
contain over 80 ~ by weight of an organic solvent.
Suitabla organic oolvents for this purpose
normally have a bolling point of 25 -to 150C, and
preferably 40 to 150C. Examples for such organic solvents
are, for example~ aliphatic hydrocarbons ~uch as benzine~,
aliphatic hydrocarbon halldes such as methylene chloride,
dichloroethane, trlchloroethane, tetrachloroethane, dichloro-
fluoromethano~ dichlorotetrafluoroethane and octafluoro-
cyclobutane, aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and
xylene, and aromatic hydrocarbon halides such as chloro-
benzene, benzotrifluoride and fluorobenzene, Particularly
suitable are

trichlorofluoromethane, 1,2,2-triçhloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethane, - v l
tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene and l,l,l-trichloroethane. i;
Particularly interesting as organic solvents are the l ¦
lower alcohols, preferably aliphatic alcohols with 1 to 4 carbon
atoms. Mixtures of various solvents are often advantageous; ,
particularly suitable, for example, are mixtures of halogenated
aliphatic hydrocarbons and aliphatic alcohols.
For the preparation of the dye liquors the dyestuffs ' -
are dissolved in th~ organic solvent or in the solvent mixture by :~
stirring, optionally with the help of heating. The dyestuffs '
may be added in vari~us forms, e.g. in a diluent-free form, or
as a conc~ntrated solution in an organic solvent or solvent mix-
ture or in a prepared form using solvent-soluble auxiliary agents
such as ethoxylated derivatives of fatty alcohols, alkyl phenols, ~
fatty acids and fatty acid amides. The liquid and pulverulent 7
dyestuff standardizations employed for the preparation of aqueous
dye liquors may also be added to the organic solvents.~ ~
The dye liquors based on organic solvents may also 1 ¦
contain up to 10% Water. Thi~ additive can considerably favor ' -¦~
the dye absorption by the fabrics being dyed. ¦ -~
The dyeing of fabrics in liquors based on organic
solvents may take place in various ways.
Thus the ~abrics padded with the dye liquors are heated
at normal or elevated pressure to temperatures which are between
the normal boiling point of the dye liquor and preferably 140C `~
until the main portion of the dyestuff is absorbed on the fabric'sl -,
fibers.

For this purpose different dyeing times may be used,
depending on the circumstances of the particular case, such as
the type of dyestuff, the fibers and selected temperature, In
view of the mana~eability of the dyeing process on the one hand
and effici~ncy on the other hand, dyeing times of 15-120 minutes
are preferred.
The dyeing can be carried out continuously, in which
event textile materials may be impregnated with the dye liquors
and subsequently, optionally after an intermediate drying, are
subjected to a suitable fixing process. ?
The applicatiGn of the dye liquors to textile materials
takes place most suitably by padding but may also take place by
other impregnation processes such as spra~ing,
dipping and the like. The application of the dye liquor as by
impregnation is preferably at room temperature, but it is possibl-
to work at lower or higher temperatures.
The textile treated with the dye liquor is preferably
dried prior to the dyestuff fixing, Drying may be, for example,
by warm air, by the forcing through of an inert gas (such as
nitrogen) or air, or by using superheated vapors, such as water
vapor or solvent vapor, or by the use of vacuum.
The dyestuffs can then be fixed by the use of elevated
temperatures, e.g. by hot air, dry heat, or water or solvent
vapor. The fixing temperatures depend on the fiber and generally
are between 100 and 240C. The heat treatment may take place in
superheated water vapor or in vapors of organic solvents, in
molten metals, paraffins or other waxes, ethoxylated derivatives

o~ alcohols or ~atty acids, or in eutectic salt mixtures.
However, pre~erred is the ~ixing by dry heat, i. e. in
accordance with the co-called thermosol process.
It is also possible to efiect drying and heat
treatment in one operation. The solvent vapors evolved in
drying or ~ixing can be reclaimed in suitable apparatus, and
the solvents thus recovered may then be used again ior the
preparation o~ new dye liquors.
The dyeing o~ the present invention may also take
place by circulating a dye solvent through a quantity of the
dyestuf~ and subsequently into contact with the ~abrics,
where the dyestui~ is released from the deposit and absorbed
by the fabric. The solvent can then be recycled back to
dyestuff.
After ~ixing o~ the dyestui'~s, the unfixed dyestu~f
portion is optionally removed by a suitable post-treatment,
inasmuch as this i~creases the service ~astnesses o~ the
dyeing. This post-treatment is pre~erably carried out in the
same organic solvent used for dyeing but may also take place
in other organic solvents or in aqueous liquors.
Features o~ the present invention are that deep
blue-violet; to blue-gray dyeings and prints are obtained with
very good coloristic properties, such as color strength,
build-up capacity, particularly good fastness to light and
sublimation, high pH-stability, and very good i?astness to wet
processing, particularly in the 95C wash, in the peroxide
wash, in the chlorine wash, good resistance to alkaline and
acid prespiration, ~astnesses to solvents and to dry
cleaning, to nitric oxide and exhaust gas, boiling soda,
peroxide bleach and hypochlorite, both light and heavy.

In the dyeing and printing of blends of polyesters with 5;
wool or cotton, the natural fibers are only slightly colored by
the dyes of the present invention. ¦
The dyestuffs of the present invention are easily pre-
pared from p-nitro-pl-aminoazobenzenes of the Formula
X QR`
2~ ~ N ~ 2 VII
which in turn are prepared as described in U. S. Patent 3,845,034.
The nitro-aminozaobenzene is diazotized and the diazonium compound
obtained is coupled to an aniline derivative of the Formula
~2
R VIII
~4
wherein radicals X, Y and Rl through R4 have the above-stated
meanings.
- The diazotation of the aminoazobenzenes of Formula VII
takes place in the conventional manner by the action of nitrous
acid or of compounds that form nitrous acid. For example the
nitro-aminoazobenzenes may be dissolved in sulfuric acid or in
lower aliphatic carboxylic acids, such as acetic acid or propionici
acid, for example, and diazotized at 0 to 30C by the addition of
nitrosyl sulfuric acid. The coupling is carried out in an acid,
aqueous medium at temperatures of 0 to 30C, preferably 0 to 5C.
For a completion of the coupling reaction it may be suitable to J
buffer the p~ value of the coupling deposit toward the end of the
reaction by the addition of alkali, such as sodium acetate, to a
value of S.

1055Z05
It ohould be again pointed out that mixtures of the
dyootuffo of the present invention ~ometimes offer advantages,
e. g. they give a better dye yield than the individual
dyestuff~,

o~ Example 4 by the use oi 21.5 g 3-N,N~diethylaminoanisole in
the coupling. It is suitably puriiied by recrystallization irom
n-butanol, and is a blackish powder which dissolves to a blue-
violet color in concentrated suliuric acid.

drying and fixing in the thermofixing frame for 45 seconds at
215C, washing and finishing as described in Example 1, there
is obtained with this printing paste on a polyester fa~ric a
deep blue-gray print having very good color properties, particu-
larly a very good fastness to light and heat.
The dyestuff employed may be prepared in accordance
with the data in Example 4 by the use of 17.9 g N,~-diethylani-
line in the coupling. It is suitably purified by recrystalliza-
tion from n-butanol and is a blackish powder which di~solves to
a blue-violet color in concentrated sulfuric acid. I
EXAMPLE 7
' ;" .
100 g polyester material are treated for 30 minutes at
121C in 1500 g ethylene tetrachloride in which 2.0g of the dye-
stuff described in Example 3 had been dissolved. The dyed fabric .'
is washed with warm and cold ethylene tetrachloride, and a full ¦
blue-gray dyeing having very good color properties is obtained.
EXAMPLE 8 1 ¦

can be made in the iol lowing manner:
Into a suspen~ion oi 6000.0 g. water, 1500.0 g. ice, 42.4 g.
N.N-dimethyl-aniline, 52.4 g. N.N-diethylaniline and 47.3 g.
3-N.N-dimethylaminotoluene there are introduced, at O to ~5C.

A~ter three hours the diazo reaction has become
negative. Stirring is done overnight at a temperature
rising up to room temperature. Thereupon the coupling
mixture is heated ior one hour to 90-95& . The resulting
dyestu~f is iiltered with suction, washed out with water
of 80 & . and dried. It is a blackish powder which dissolves
to a blue color in concentrated suliuric acid.
b) 20.0 g. of the mixed dye so obtained are ground with 18.0 g.
ligninsul~onate, whilst adding water, to give a paste
containing 20.0 X dyestufi.
2.0 g. o~ this dyestuii dispersion are stirred
into 2000 g. water. It is standardized with acetic acid to a
pH-value oi S and admixed with 4.0 g. ammonium suliate and
2.0 g. oi a commercial naphthalene sulionic acid-~ormaldehyde
condensate dispersing agent. Into the dye liquor thus
obtained 100 g. oi a polyester iabric based on polyethylene-
glycolterephthalate are introduced and dyed one hour at
130C.
A~ter subsequent rinsing, reductive aiter-
treatment with an 0.2 % alkaline sodium dithionite solution for
15 minutes at 70 to 80& ., another rinsing and iinally
drying, a deep grey-blue dyeing with very good coloristic
properties is obtained.
Compared to the individual components IX, X and XI
(100~) the mixed dye used in this working example distin-
guishes itself by a di~tinctly higher coloring power (125%).
A 20.0 ~ strength dyestu~ paste containing this
dye composition may also be prepared by grinding the
individual components IX, X and XI in water with a dispersant
in the mixture ratio as speci~ied.
