in which R 1 is alkyl or alkenyl having in each case 8 to 22 carbon atoms, one of Z 1 and Z 2 is phenyl and the other is hydrogen and s is 4 to The compounds of the formula are prepared by adding styrene oxide onto the polyethylene glycol ether of the formula R"-O-(CH 2 The novel preparations of assistants can be prepared merely by stirring together the said components and, if appropriate, together with water, homogeneous clear mixtures being obtained which are distinguished by good stability on transport and Sstorage. The mixtures of assistants according to the invention are, in particular, very stable at elevated temperatures of up to 130°C, when they are employed in dyebaths. They increase the rate of diffusion of the dyes when dyeing polyester fibre materials, preferably linear polyester fibres.
Accordingly, the present invention also relates to a process for dyeing polyester fibre material by means of disperse dyes, which comprises dyeing this material in the presence of the mixture of assistants according to the invention.
The amount in which tie combination of assistants according to the invention is added to Sthe dyebaths rangeAfror0.3 to 6 g, preferably 0.5 to 4 g per litre of dye liquor.
Examples which may be mentioned of polyester fibre material, in particular textile material, which can be dyed in the presence of the novel mixture of assistants are cellulose ester fibres, such as cellulose acetate and triacetate fibres and, in particular, linear polyester fibres. Linear polyester fibres are to be understood here as meaning synthetic fibres which are obtained, for example, by the condensation of terephthalic acid with ethylene glycol or of isophthalic acid or terephthalic acid with 1,4-bis-(hydroxymethyl)-cyclohe.xane, and also copolymers formed from terephthalic and isophthalic acid and ethylene glycol. The linear polyester which has hitherto been f
I
employed almost exclusively in the textile industry consists of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol.
The fibre materials can also be used in the form of mixed fabrics, with each other or with other fibres, for example mixtures of polyacrylonitrile/polyester, polyamide/polyester, polyester/cotton, polyester/viscose and polyester/wool.
The textile material to be dyed can be in various stages of processing. For example, the following are suitable: loose material, piece goods, such as knitted or woven fabrics, and yarn in package or muff form. The latter can have a package density of 200 to 600 g/cm 3 in particular 400 to 450 g/cm 3
I
The disperse dyes to be used, which are only very slightly soluble in water and are present in the dye liquor for the most part in the form of a fine dispersion, can belong to a very wide range of classes of dye, for example the acridone, azo, anthraquinone, coumarin, methine, perinone, quinophthalone, naphthoquinoneimine, styryl or nitro dyes.
According to the present invention it is also possible to use mixtures of disperse dyes.
Mixtures are used in particular for preparing level mixed shade dyeings including dichromatic and trichromatic dyeing. Trichromatic dyeing is in particular the dyeing with a triple combination of the primary colours yellow (or orange), red and blue.
The amount of dyes to be added to the liquor depends on the tinctorial strength desired; in general, amounts of 0.01 to 10, preferably 0.05 to 5, per cent by weight, relative to the textile material employed, have proved successful.
The assistants to be used according to the present invention can also be used mixed with known carriers based on for example di- or trichlorobenzene, methylbenzene, ethylbenzene, o-phenylphenol, benzylphenol, diphenylether, chlorobiphenyl, methylbiphenyl, cyclohexanone, acetophenone, alkylphenoxyethanol, mono-, di- or trichlorophenoxyethanol or -propanol, pentachlorophenoxyethanol, or based in particular on biphenyl, methyl biphenyl ether, or dibenzyl ether. The carriers are preferably used in amounts of 0.5 g to 2 g/l of liquor or 10 to 60 per cent by weight, based on the assistant formulation.
Depending on the textile material to be treated, the dyebaths can also contain, in addition -11to the dyes and the mixture of assistants according to the invention, oligomeric inhibitors, anti-foaming agents (for example silicone oils or ethylene-bis-fatty acid amides), non-creasing agents and, preferably, dispersants.
The dispersants serve, in particular, to achieve good dispersion of the disperse dyes. The dispersants which are generally customary in dyeing by means of disperse dyes are suitable.
Suitable dispersants are preferably sulfated or phosphated adducts of 15 to 100 moles of ethylene oxide or, preferably, propylene oxide onto polyhydric aliphatic alcohols having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, for example ethylene glycol, glycerol or pentaerythritol or onto amines |i having 2 to 9 carbon atoms and containing at least two amino groups or one amino group S, and one hydroxyl group, and also alkylsulfonates having 10 to 20 carbon atoms in the S alkyl chain, alkylbenzenesulfonates having a linear or branched alkyl chain with 8 to Scarbon atoms in the alkyl chain, for example nonylbenzenesulfonate, dodecylbenzenesulfonate, 1,3,5,7-tetramethyloctylbenzentsulfonate or ^i octadecylbenzenesulfonate, and also alkylnaphthalenesulfonates or sulfosuccinic acid esters, for example sodium dioctylsulfosuccinate or sodium di-2-ethylhexylsulfosuccinate.
Ligninsulfonates, polyphosphates and, preferably, formaldehyde condensation products formed from aromatic sulfonic acids, formaldehyde and phenols which can be monofunctional or bifunctional, for example from cresol, p-naphtholsulfonic acid and formaldehyde, from benzenesulfonic acid, formaldehyde and naphthalenesulfonic acid, from naphthalenesulfonic acid and formaldehyde or from naphthalenesulfonic acid, dihydroxydiphenyl sulfone and formaldehyde, have proved particularly advantageous as anionic dispersing agents. The disodium salt of di-(6-sulfonaphth-2-yl)-methane or tri-(6-sulfonaphth-2-yl)-methane is preferred.
It is also possible to use mixtures of anionic dispersants. Normally, the anionic dispersants are present in the form of their alkali metal salts, ammonium salts or amine salts. These dispersants are preferably used in an amount of 0.5 to 8 g/1 of liquor.
The dyebaths can also contain a water-soluble alkaline earth metal, aluminium or organic ammonium salt of a monobasic or polybasic aliphatic carboxylic acid or of a monobasic or polybasic inorganic acid. By adding these salts it is possible to improve the dispersion stability in the dyebath to a great extent, depending on the type of dye used, in particular i -12in the dyeing of polyester packages of very high pack density. It is thus possible to prevent or greatly reduce dye deposits. These additional salts are water-soluble salts, for example magnesium, calcium, barium, strontium, aluminium or organic ammonium salts of monobasic or polybasic inorganic acids or monobasic or polybasic aliphatic carboxylic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid or formic acid, acetic acid and thiocyanic acid. Such salts are for example: calcium nitrate, magnesium nitrate, aluminium nitrate, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, magnesium thiocyanate, calcium thiocyanate or organic ammonium chlorides, bromides or iodides, e.g. methonium salts (alkanebistrimethylammonium salts).
|j Examples of suitable methonium salts are pentamethonium iodide, decamethonium I bromide and in particular hexamethonium chloride.
|i These salts are preferably used in an amount of 0.1 to 3 g per litre of dyeing liquor or 0.2 to 5 per cent by weight, based on the fibre material.
Furthermore, the dyebaths can contain cstomary additives, preferably electrolytes, such as salts, for example sodium sulfate, ammonium sulfate, sodium or ammonium phosphates, sodium or ammonium polyphosphates, ammonium acetate or sodium acetate and/or acids, for example mineral acids, such as sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid, or organic acids, preferably lower aliphatic carboxylic acids, such as formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid or citric acid. The acids serve, in particular, to adjust the pH of the liquors used in accordance with the invention, which, as a rule, is 4 to 6.5, preferably 4.5 to 6.
Dyeing is advantageously carried out from an aqueous liquor by the exhaustion process.
The liquor ratio can, accordingly, be selected within a wide range, for example 3:1 to 100:1, preferably 7:1 to 50:1. The temperature at which dyeing is carried out is at least 0 C and, as a rule, is not higher than 140 0 C. It is preferably within the range from 80 to 135 0
C.
Linear polyester fibres and cellulose triacetate fibres are preferably dyed by the so-called high-temperature process in closed, and preferably also pressure-resistant, equipment at temperatures of over 100 0 C, preferably between 110 and 135°C, under pressure. Examples of suitable closed vessels are circulation machines, such as package or beam dyeing machines, winch becks, nozzle or drum dyeing machines, jet or muff dyeing machines, paddle machines or jiggers.
13- Cellulose acetate fibres are preferably dyed at temperatures of 80-85 0
C.
The dyeing process can be carried out in such a way that the material to be dyed is either first treated briefly with the mixture of assistants and is then dyed or, preferably, is treated simultaneously with the mixture of assistants and the dye.
It is preferable to allow the material to be dyed a preliminary run of 5-10 minutes at 40-80'C in the bath which contains the dye, the mixture of assistants and, if appropriate, further additives and whose pH has been adjusted to a value of 4.5 to 6, to raise the temperature in the course of 15 to 30 minutes to 110 to 135 0 C, preferably 125-130 0 C, and to keep the dye liquor for 15 to 30 minutes, preferably 15 to 20 minutes, at this S temperature.
V ft The dyeings are finished by cooling the dye liquor to 60 to 80 0 C, rinsing the dyeings with S water and, if appropriate, reduction clearing them in a customary manner in an alkaline medium under reductive conditions. The dyeings are then rinsed again and dried. Uniform and intense dyeings which are additionally distinguished by good fastness to light and good fastness properties to rubbing are obtained on synthetic fibre material, in particular on linear polyester fibres. The dye liquor remains stable during the dyeing and no deposits are formed in the interior of the dyeing machines.
Compared with known processes which also use disperse dyes that do not migrate or migrate only moderately, the process according to the invention is distinguished by a shortened heating-up phase and by the fact that it is possible to add the dye to the liquor at any desired temperature. In particular, the migration of disperse dyes can be improved by employing the mixture of assistants used in accordance with the invention. By virtue of the improved migration capacity of the dyes, it is possible to level up any possible i unevenness in the absorption phase of the dyes through subsequent migration in the dwell phase at the final temperature. In summary, the dyeing process using the mixture of assistants according to the invention offers the following advantages: unmonitored heating of the liquor to the dyeing temperature without paying special attention to the significant or critical rate of dyeing; shading under customary HT conditions, thanks to the improved migration of the disperse dyes; simple, efficient and reliable performance; -14simple correction of off-shade dyeings, since improved levelling takes place; rapid achievement of level single-shade dyeings, particularly mixed-shade dyeings, including trichromatic dyeings, with good fastness properties, for example fastness to light, rubbing and sublimation, with the avoidance of streakiness and also under difficult circumstances; operation in the main without the addition of conventional carriers, dispersing agents and/or levelling agents; -the achievement of level dyeings with delicate pale and medium shades and, in particular, with deep shades, using dyes fast to sublimation.
