DYE MIXTURES OF FIBER-REACTIVE AZO DYES AND PREPARATION AND USE
THEREOF
This invention relates to the technical field of fiber-reactive azo dyes.
Mixed fiber-reactive azo dyes and their use for dyeing hydroxyl- and
carboxamido-
containing material in black shades are known for example from the documents
US 5,445,654, US 5,611,821, KR 94-2560, Sho 58-160362 and EP-A-0 870 807.
However, they have certain application defects, such as for example an overly
large dependence of the color yield on varying dyeing parameters in the dyeing
process or an insufficient or unlevel color build-up on cotton (good color
build-up
results from the ability of a dye to provide a proportionally stronger dyeing
when
used in higher concentrations in the dyebath), or an excessive salt dependence
of
the dyeings. Consequences of these defects can be poor reproducibilities for
the
dyeings that are obtainable. The documents WO 98/42784, WO 98/42785, WO
93/18224 and US 5,330,539 disclose dyes and dye mixtures which can be dyed in
the presence of small amounts of salt, but which provide only very weak
dyeings
in the absence of salt.
Since it is commercially as well as environmentally necessary to reduce the
salt
content of dyeing effluent, there is a need for reactive dyes which provide
dyeings
of high color strength in the presence of small amounts of salt or even in the
absence of electrolyte salts.
The present invention, then, provides dye mixtures which provide dyeings of
high
color strength in the presence of only very low levels or even in the absence
of
electrolyte salts.
The invention accordingly provides dye mixtures comprising one or more, such
as
two or three, preferably 1 or 2, dyes of the hereinbelow indicated and defined
general
formula (I)

The dye mixtures according to the invention can be present as a preparation in
solid
or liquid (dissolved) form. In solid form, they contain, to the extent
necessary, the
electrolyte salts customary in the case of water-soluble and especially fiber-
reactive
dyes, such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride and sodium sulfate, and may
further contain the auxiliaries customary in commercial dyes, such as buffer
substances capable of setting a pH in aqueous solution between 3 and 7, such
as
sodium acetate, sodium citrate, sodium borate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium
dihydrogenphosphate and disodium hydrogenphosphate, dyeing auxiliaries,
dustproofing agents and small amounts of siccatives; when they are present in
a
liquid, aqueous solution (including a content of thickeners of the type
customary in
print pastes), they may also contain substances which ensure a long life for
these
preparations, for example mold preventatives.
In solid form, the dye mixtures according to the invention are generally
present as
powders or granules which contain electrolyte salt and which will hereinbelow
generally be referred to as a preparation with or without one or more of the
abovementioned auxiliaries. In the preparations, the dye mixture is present at
10 to
90% by weight, based on the preparation containing it. The buffer substances
are
generally present in a total amount of up to 5% by weight, based on the
preparation.
When the dye mixtures according to the invention are present in an aqueous
solution,
the total dye content of these aqueous solutions is up to about 50% by weight,
for
example between 5 and 50% by weight, the electrolyte salt content of these
aqueous
solutions preferably being below 10% by weight, based on the aqueous solution;
the
aqueous solutions (liquid preparations) can contain the aforementioned buffer
substances in an amount which is generally up to 5% by weight and preferably
up to
2% by weight.
The dye mixtures according to the invention are preparable in a conventional
manner, as by mechanically mixing the individual dyes, whether in the form of
their
dye powders or granules or their as-synthesized solutions or in the form of
aqueous
solutions of the individual dyes generally, which may additionally contain
customary
auxiliaries, or by conventional diazotization and coupling of suitable
mixtures of diazo
and coupling components in the desired amount ratios.

CA 02477136 2004-08-20
18
For example, when the diazo components with the groups D2 and D3 in the
general
formulae (I) and (II) possess the same meaning (D2 = D3), an amine of the
general
formula (17)
DZ - NHZ (17),
where D2 is as defined above can be diazotized in a conventional manner and
the
resulting diazonium compound then reacted in aqueous medium at a pH below 3
with
a mixture of 4-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid or 4-amino-5-
hydroxynaphthalene-1,7-disulfonic acid and an optionally N-substituted 6-amino-
4-
hydroxynaphthalene-2-sulfonic acid or 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-
disulfonic
acid to give a mixture of two red monoazo dyes of the formulae (15) and (II).
Subsequently an amine of the general formula (18)
D' - NHZ (18),
where D2 is as defined above is diazotized in a conventional manner and the
resulting diazonium compound is then coupled in a second stage with the
mixture of
the monoazo dyes of the general formulae (15) and (II) obtained in the first
stage,
coupling taking place at a pH of between 3 and 7.5, to give a mixture of the
dyes of
the general formulae (I) and (II).
Alternatively, where the diazo components with the groups D~ and D3 in the
general
formulae (I) and (II) possess the same meaning (D' = D3), the dye mixture of
the
invention can be prepared by conventionally diazotizing an amine of the
general
formula (18), where D' is as defined in claim 1, and then reacting the
resulting
diazonium compound of an aqueous solution or suspension of a mixture of
defined
proportion of a red monoazo dye of the general formula (15) and an optionally
substituted 6-amino-4-hydroxynaphthalene-2-sulfonic acid, first with a pH
below 3 to
give a mixture of two red monoazo dyes of the general formulae (15) and (II),
and,
when acidic coupling is at an end, by raising the pH to 4 - 7.5, carrying out
the
second coupling of the monoazo dye of the general formula (15), giving a
mixture of
the two dyes of the general formulae (I) and (II).
The red monoazo dyes of the general formula (15) can be prepared by
conventionally
diazotizing an amine of the general formula (17), where D2 is as defined in
claim 1,
and then coupling the resulting diazonium compound in an aqueous medium at a
pH

CA 02477136 2004-08-20

below 2 with 4-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid and/or 4-amino-5-
hydroxynaphthalene-1,7-disulfonic acid in a first stage.
The dye mixture of the invention is isolated in a conventional manner, where
appropriate following the addition of one or more, such as two or three,
yellow
components of the general formulae (I Ila) to (Illf), in solid form or as an
aqueous
solution, by salting out for example with sodium chloride or potassium
chloride or by
spray drying.
Additionally, the as-synthesized solutions of the dye mixtures of the general
formula
(I) and (II) can be used directly as a liquid preparation for dyeing, where
appropriate
following addition of one or more, such as two or three, yellow components of
the
general formulae (Il la) to (Illf) in solid form or as aqueous solutions and
also, where
appropriate, addition of a buffer substance and, where appropriate, after
concentration or dilution.
Dye mixtures which as well as ~-chloroethylsulfonyl or ~3-
thiosulfatoethylsulfonyl or ~-
sulfatoethylsulfonyl groups also contain vinylsulfonyl groups as reactive
radicals can
be synthesized not only starting from appropriately substituted
vinylsulfonylanilines or
naphthylamines but also by reaction of a dye mixture where Z is ~-chloroethyl,
~i-
thiosulfatoethyl or (3-sulfatoethyl with 'an amount of alkali required for the
desired
fraction and converting the ~i-substituted ethylsulfonyl groups mentioned into
vinylsulfonyl groups. This conversion is effected in a manner familiar to one
skilled in
the art.
The dye mixtures according to the invention have useful application
properties. They
are used for dyeing or printing hydroxyl- and/or carboxamido-containing
materials, for
example in the form of sheetlike structures, such as paper and leather or of
films, for
example composed of polyamide, or in bulk, as for example polyamide and
polyurethane, but especially for dyeing and printing these materials in fiber
form.
The present invention thus also provides for the use of the dye mixtures
according to
the invention for dyeing or printing these materials, or rather processes for
dyeing or

CA 02477136 2004-08-20
printing these materials in a conventional manner, by using a dye mixture
according
to the invention or its individual components (dyes) individually together as
a
colorant. The materials are preferably employed in the form of fiber
materials,
especially in the form of textile fibers, such as woven fabrics or yarns, as
in the form
5 of hanks or wound packages.
Hydroxyl-containing materials are those of natural or synthetic origin, for
example
cellulose fiber materials or their regenerated products and polyvinyl
alcohols.
Cellulose fiber materials are preferably cotton, but also other vegetable
fibers, such
10 as linen, hemp, jute and ramie fibers; regenerated cellulose fibers are for
example
staple viscose and filament viscose and also chemically modified cellulose
fibers,
such as aminated cellulose fibers or fibers as described for example in WO
96/37641
and WO 96/37642 and also in EP 0 538 785 and EP 0 692 559.
15 Carboxamido-containing materials are for example synthetic and natural
polyamides
and polyurethanes, especially in the form of fibers, for example wool and
other
animal hairs, silk, leather, nylon-6,6, nylon-6, nylon-11 and nylon-4.
The dye mixtures according to the invention can be applied to and fixed on the
20 substrates mentioned, especially the fiber materials mentioned, by the
application
techniques known for water-soluble dyes and especially for fiber-reactive
dyes. For
instance, on cellulose fibers they produce by the exhaust method from a long
liquor
and also from a short liquor, for example in a liquor to goods ratio of 5 : 1
to 100 : 1,
preferably 6 : 1 to 30 : 1, using various acid-binding agents and optionally
neutral
salts as far as necessary, such as sodium chloride or sodium sulfate, dyeings
having
very good color yields. Application is preferably from an aqueous bath at
temperatures between 40 and 105°C, optionally at a temperature of up to
130°C
under superatmospheric pressure, but preferably at 30 to 95°C,
especially 45 to
65°C, in the presence or absence of customary dyeing auxiliaries. One
possible
procedure here is to introduce the material into the warm bath and to
gradually heat
the bath to the desired dyeing temperature and complete the dyeing process at
that
temperature. The neutral salts which accelerate the exhaustion of the dyes may
also
if desired only be added to the bath after the actual dyeing temperature has
been
reached.

CA 02477136 2004-08-20
21
Padding processes likewise provide excellent color yields and a very good
color
build-up on cellulose fibers, the dyes being fixable in a conventional manner
by
hatching at room temperature or elevated temperature, for example at up to
about
60°C, or in a continuous manner, for example by means of a pad-dry-pad
steam
process, by steaming or using dry heat.
Similarly, the customary printing processes for cellulose fibers, which can be
carried
out in one step, for example by printing with a print paste containing sodium
bicarbonate or some other acid-binding agent and by subsequent steaming at 100
to
103°C, or in two steps, for example by printing with a neutral to weak
acidic print
color and then fixing either by passing the printed material through hot
electrolyte-
containing alkaline bath or by overpadding with an alkaline electrolyte-
containing
padding liquor and subsequent hatching of the alkali-overpadded material or
subsequent steaming or subsequent dry heat treatment of the alkali-overpadded
material, produce strong prints with well-defined contours and a clear white
ground.
The outcome of the prints is little affected, if at all, by variations in the
fixing
conditions.
When fixing by means of dry heat in accordance with the customary thermofix
processes, hot air at 120 to 200°C is .used. In addition to the
customary steam at 101
to 103°C, it is also possible to use superheated steam and high-
pressure steam at
temperatures of up to 160°C.
The acid-binding agents which effect the fixation of the dyes of the dye
mixtures
according to the invention on the cellulose fibers are for example water-
soluble basic
salts of alkali metals and likewise alkaline earth metals of inorganic or
organic acids
or compounds which liberate alkali in the heat, and also alkali metal
silicates.
Especially suitable are the alkali metal hydroxides and alkali metal salts of
weak to
medium inorganic or organic acids, the preferred alkali metal compounds being
the
sodium and potassium compounds. Such acid-binding agents are for example
sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate,
potassium carbonate, sodium formate, sodium dihydrogenphosphate, disodium
hydrogenphosphate, sodium trichloroacetate, trisodium phosphate or~waterglass
or

CA 02477136 2004-08-20
22
mixtures thereof, for example mixtures of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution
and
waterglass.
The dye mixtures according to the invention are notable for outstanding color
strength when applied to the cellulose fiber materials by dyeing or printing
in the
presence of no or very small amounts of alkali or alkaline earth metal
compounds.
For instance, no electrolyte salt is required for a shallow depth of shade,
not more
than 5 g/l of electrolyte salt is required for a medium depth of shade and not
more
than 10 gll of electrolyte salt is required for deep shades.
According to the invention, a shallow depth of shade refers to the use of 2%
by
weight of dye based on the substrate to be dyed, a medium depth of shade
refers to
the use of 2 to 4% by weight based on the substrate to be dyed and a deep
shade
refers to the use of 4 to 10% by weight of dye based on the substrate to be
dyed.
The dyeings and prints obtainable with the dye mixtures according to the
invention
possess bright shades; more particularly, the dyeings and prints on cellulose
fiber
materials possess good lightfastness and especially good wetfastnesses, such
as
fastness to washing, milling, water, seawater, crossdyeing and acidic and
alkaline
perspiration, also good fastness to pleating, hotpressing and rubbing.
Furthermore,
the cellulose dyeings obtained following the customary aftertreatment of
rinsing to
remove unfixed dye portions exhibit excellent wetfastnesses, in particular
since
unfixed dye portions are easily washed off because of their good solubility in
cold
water.
Furthermore, the dye mixtures according to the invention can also be used for
the
fiber-reactive dyeing of wool. Moreover, wool which has been given a
nonfelting or
low-felting finish (cf. for example H. Rath, Lehrbuch der Textilchemie,
Springer-
Verlag, 3rd edition (1972), pages 295-299, especially finished by the
Hercosett
process (page 298); J. Soc. Dyers and Colourists 1972, 93-99, and 1975, 33-
44), can ,
be dyed to very good fastness properties. The process of dyeing on wool is
here
carried out in a conventional manner from an acidic medium. For instance,
acetic
acid and/or ammonium sulfate or acetic acid and ammonium acetate or sodium
acetate can be added to the dyebath to obtain the desired pH. To obtain a
dyeing of

CA 02477136 2004-08-20
23
acceptable levelness, it is advisable to add a customary leveling agent, for
example a
leveling agent based on a reaction product of cyanuric chloride with three
times the
molar amount of an aminobenzenesulfonic acid and/or of an
aminonaphthalenesulfonic acid or on the basis of a reaction product of for
example
stearylamine with ethylene oxide. For instance, the dye mixture according to
the
invention is preferably subjected to the exhaust process initially from an
acidic
dyebath having a pH of about 3.5 to 5.5 under pH control and the pH is then,
toward
the end of the dyeing time, shifted into the neutral and optionally weakly
alkaline
range up to a pH of 8.5 to bring about, especially for very deep dyeings, the
full
reactive bond between the dyes of the dye mixtures according to the invention
and
the fiber. At the same time, the dye portion not reactively bound is removed.
The procedure described herein also applies to the production of dyeings on
fiber
materials composed of other natural polyamides or of synthetic polyamides and
polyurethanes. In general, the material to be dyed is introduced into the bath
at a
temperature of about 40°C, agitated therein for some time, the dyebath
is then
adjusted to the desired weakly acidic, preferably weakly acetic acid, pH and
the
actual dyeing is carried out at a temperature between 60 and 98°C.
However, the
dyeings can also be carried out at the boil or in sealed dyeing apparatus at
temperatures of up to 106°C. Since the water solubility of the dye
mixtures according
to the invention is very good, they can also be used with advantage in
customary
continuous dyeing processes. The color strength of the dye mixtures according
to the
invention is very high.
The dye mixtures according to the invention dye the materials mentioned,
preferably
fiber materials, in navy to jet black shades having good fastness properties.
The examples hereinbelow serve to illustrate the invention. Parts and
percentages
are by weight, unless otherwise stated. Parts by weight relate to parts by
volume as
the kilogram relative to the liter. The compounds described in the examples in
terms
of a formula are indicated in the form of the sodium salts, since they are
generally
prepared and isolated in the form of their salts, preferably sodium or
potassium salts,
and used for dyeing in the form of their salts. The starting compounds
described in
the examples hereinbelow can be used in the synthesis in the form of the free
acid or

24
likewise in the form of their salts, preferably alkali metal salts, such as
sodium or
potassium salts.

Use example 1
2 parts of a dye obtained according to example 1 - 7 are dissolved in 999
parts of
water and 5 parts of sodium carbonate, 0,7 part of sodium hydroxide (in the
form of a
32.5% aqueous solution) and optionally 1 part of a wetting agent are added.
This
dyebath is entered with 100 g of a cotton fabric. The temperature of the
dyebath is
first maintained at 25°C for 10 minutes, then raised over 30 minutes to
the final
temperature (40-60°C) and maintained at that level for a further 60-90
minutes.
Thereafter, the dyed material is rinsed initially with tap water for 2 minutes
and then
with ion-free water for 5 minutes. The dyed material is neutralized at
40°C in
1000 parts of an aqueous solution containing 1 part of 50% acetic acid for
10 minutes. It is subsequently rinsed with ion-free water at 70°C and
thereafter
soaped off at the boil with a detergent for 15 minutes, rinsed once more and
dried.
This gives a strong navy to gray dyeing having very good fastness properties.
Use example 2
4 parts of a dye obtained according to example 1 - 7 and 5 parts of sodium
chloride
are dissolved in 999 parts of water, 5 parts of sodium carbonate, 0.7 part of
sodium
hydroxide (in the form of a 32.5% aqueous solution) and optionally 1 part of a
wetting
agent are added. This dyebath is entered with 100 g of a cotton fabric. The
rest of the
processing is as indicated in use example 1. This gives a strong navy to black
dyeing
having very good fastness properties.
Use example 3
8 parts of a dye obtained according to example 1 - 7 and 10 parts of sodium
chloride
are dissolved in 997 parts of water, 5 parts of sodium carbonate, 1.3 parts of
sodium
hydroxide (in the form of a 32.5% aqueous solution) and optionally 1 part of a
wetting
agent are added. This dyebath is entered with 100 g of a cotton fabric. The
rest of the
processing is as indicated in use example 1. This gives a jet black dyeing
having very
good fastness properties.
