The dye mixtures can also be prepared e.g. by spray-drying the aqueous dye mixtures.
The dye mixtures preferably comprise 5 to 95 % by weight, more preferably 20 to 95 % by
weight and, particularly prererably, 40 to 95 % by weight, of a dye of formula (1 ), based on
the total amount of the dyes of formulae (1 ) and (7). The dye mixtures particularly prererdbly
comprise 50 to 90 % by weight, more preferably 60 to 90 % by weight, of a dye of formula
(1), based on the total amount of the dyes of formulae (1 ) and (7) .
This invention also relates to dyes of formula (4),
wherein R8 is hydrogen or C1-C4alkyl, and
Rg is C1-C4alkyl or C1-C4alkoxy, each of which is substituted by hydroxy or C1-C4alkoxy, and
R-o is C,-C4alkyl or C,-C4alkoxy.
The dyes of formulae (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7) employed in the novel process for
trichron,alic dyeing or printing are known or may be prepared in general analogy to known
dyes.

The dyes of formula (1), for example, can be obtained by dia~ulising an amine of formula
HO3S~N=N~NH2 (10),
coupling the diazonium compounds so obtained to a coupling component of formula
~NH2
~ (11)
NH--r--R2
and reacting the reaction product so obtained with a compound introducing the radical of
formula
(12),
--~, R1
wherein R, and R2 have the meanings given for formula (1).
The dia~ulis~lion of the compound of formula (10) is ~r~cted in a manner known per se,
typically with a nitrite, for example with an alkali metal nitrite such as sodium nitrite, and in a
medium containing mineral acid, conven-Ehlly hydrochloric acid, in the temperature range
from e.g. -5 to 40~C, prefer~bly from 0 to 1 0~C.
The coupling of the coupling component of formula (11 ) is carried out in a manner known
per se in the acid, neutral or weakly alkaline pH range, typically at a pH from 3 to 7, and in
the temperature range from e.g. -5 to 30~C, preferably from O to 25~C.
To introduce the radical of formula (12) it is possible to use compounds of formula

CA 022l00~4 l997-07-lO
(13),
Hal--~ R1
wherein hal is halogen, such as chloro, bromo or iodo, preferably chloro. Illustrative
examples of compounds of formula (13) are acetyl chloride, propionyl chloride, methoxy-
acetyl chloride and ethyl chlorocarbonate. Further examples of compounds introducing the
radical of formula (12) are acetic anhydride and propionic anhydride.
The introduction of the radical of the above-mentioned formula (12) can be carried out, for
example, in dipolar aprotic solvents, typically dimethyl~ur",a"lide or dimethylsulfoxide, or in
water or, preferably, in pyridine, in the temperature range from e.g. 10 to 80~C"~re~erably
from 10 to 50~C.
The dyes of formula (7) may be obtained e.g. in accordance with the processes known from
US-A-4 060 383 and GB-A-1 454 475.
The dyes employed in the novel process for trichromatic dyeing or printing are either in the
form of their free sulfonic acids, or preferably, in the form of their salts.
Examples of suitable salts are the alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts or ammonium
salts, or the salts of an organic amine. Typical examples are the sodium, lithium, potassium
or ammonium salts or the salt of mono-, di- or triethanolamine.
The dyes employed in the process of this invention may contain further auxiliaries, such as
sodium chloride or dextrin.
The lrichrolllalic dyeing or printing process of this invention is susceptible of applicz lion to
conventional dyeing or printing methods. In addition to containing water and the dyes, the
dye liquors or printing pastes may contain further auxiliaries, for example wetting agents,
antifoams, levelling agents or agents which influence the property of the textile materials,
e.g. softeners, flameproofing additives, or dirt, water and oil repellents, as well as water
softeners and natural or synthetic thickeners, e.g. alginates and cellulose ethers.

The novel process for trichrornalic dyeing or printing is also suit~hle for dyeing from short
liquors, e.g. in continuous dyeing or in batchwise or continuous foam dyeing processes.
The amounts in which the individual dyes are used in the dye liquors or printing pastes can
vary within wide limits, depending of the desired tinctorial strength. It has been found that
advantageous amounts are usually in the range from 0.01 to 15 % by weight, preferably
from 0.01 to 10 % by weight, based on the goods to be dyed or the printing paste.
Dyeing is ,cr~t~rdbly carried out at a pH in the range from 3 to 7, more pr~rerdbly from 4 to
7. The liquor ratio can be chosen from a wide range, typically from 1:5 to 1:50, prererably
from 1:5 to 1:30. Dyeing is preferably carried out in the temperature range from 70 to
1 1 0~C, more prererdbly from 80 to 1 05~C.
In trichromatic dyeing or printing, the dyes employed in the process of this invention are
distinguished by level colour build-up, good exhaustion properties, good consislency of
shade even at dirrerenl concenl,dlions, good fastness properties and solubility and, in-
particular, by very good co",palibility.
The novel process for l,ichro",dlic dyeing or printing is suitable for dyeing or printing natural
polyamide material, e.g. wool, and also, in particular, synthetic polamide material, e.g. poly-
amide 6 or polyamide 66, and is suitable for dyeing or printing wool and synthetic polyamide
blends and yarns.
This textile ",aterial may be in any form of presentation, e.g. in the form of fibre, yarn,
wovens or knits, and in particular, of carpets.
The dyeings obtained are level and have good allround fastness properties, in particular
good fastness to rubbing, wet treatment, wet rubbing and light.
In the r." .~;.,g Examples, parts are by weight and temperatures are given in degrees
Celsius. The relationship between parts by weight and parts by volume is the same as that
between the gram and the cubic centimetre.

100 parts of polyamide 66 fibre r"aleriai (Helanca tricot) are put into the resultant dye
solution and the dyebath is heated over 45 minutes to c. 96~C. The dyebath is kept at this
temperature for 45 to 60 minutes and then cooled to 70~C. The dyed goods are removed
