Description

~73~54 1-15356/+

Process fcr dyeing natural or synthetic polyamide fibre materials with mixtures of dye3 The present invention relates to a novel proces~ for the non-~kit-tery and level dyeing of natural and synthetic polyamide fibre material3 from an aqueou~ liquor with mixtures of l:1 metal complex dyes which contain sulfo groups and metal-free dyes which contsin sulfo groups, in the presence of a 60urce of fluoride ions such a3 an alkali metal or ammonium fluoride, an alkali metal or ammonium fluorosilicate, an alkali metal or ammonium fluoroborate, an alkali metal or ammonium fluorozirconate or an alkali metal or ammonium fluoro6ulfonate, and optionally in the presence of an assistant, in which process dyeing is carried out at a fibre-preserving pH value in the range from 3 to 7 with virtually cvmplete exhaustion of the dyebath, and the dyeing 80 obtained has good allround fastnes~
properties, in particular good fastness to wet processing and light.
The invention further relates to the material dyed by the novel proces~ and to a composition for carrying out said proce6s.

The disadvantage of the conventional methods of dyeing natural or synthetic polyamide fibre materials with 1:1 metal complex dyes or mlxtures thereof with metal-free acid dyes is that these dye~ or mixtures must be applied in the pH range from about 1.9 to 2.8 in order to obtain level dyeings. In addition to the duration of dyeing, the pH of the dyebath is of decislve importance for dyeing natural and synthetic polyamide fibre materials, especially for dyeing wool, a~ the3e fibre msterial3, again in particular wool, are severely attacked both in the 3trongly acidic and in the strongly alkaline pH range.
.~

~2731S4 Surprisingly> there has now been found a novel process that does not have the shortcoming referred to above and which makes it possible to dye natural or synthetic polyamide materials, in simple manner, in the fibre-preserving pH range from 3 to 7, preferably from 3 to 6 and, most preferably, from 3.5 to 5.

Accordingly, the present invention relates to a process for dyeing natural or synthetic polyamide flbre material from an aqueous liquor with mixtures of dyes, in the presence of an alkali metal salt or an ammonium salt and optionally in the presence of an assistant, which process comprlses dyeing said fibre material with a mixture contain-ing at least one 1:1 metal complex dye which contains sulfo groups and at least one metal-free dye which contains sulfo groups, in the presence of an alkali metal or ammonium fluoride, an alkali metal or ammonium fluorosilicate, an alkali metal or ammonium fluoroborate, an alkali metal or ammonium fluorozirconate or an alkali metal or ammonium fluorosulfonate, at a pH value in the range from 3 to 7.

It is preferred to put the fibre material into a bath which contains acid and the asslstAnt and has a temperature of 30 to 70C. Then the dye mi~ture and the alkali metal or ammoni~m fluoride, alkali metal or ammonium fluoro-silicate, alkali metal or ammonium fluoroborate, alkali metal or ammonium fluorozirconate or alkali metsl or ammonium fluorosul-fonate is added and the temperature of th0 dyebath i8 raised at a rate of 0.75 to 3C per minute, optionally with a temperature stop during the heating up phase, in order to dye in the indicated temperature range from 80 to 105C, preferably for 30 to 120 min-utes. Finally, the bath is cooled and the dyed material i8 rinsed and dried in conventional manner.

Natural polyamide fibre material that may be dyed by the process of this invention is, in particular, wool and also woolfpolyamide, wool/polyester, wool/cellulose or woollpolyacrylonitrile blends a~
well as silk. The fibre material may be in a very wide range of presenta~ion, for example as loose material, tops, yarn and piece goods or carpets.

Synthetic polyamide material that may be dyed by the process of this invention comprises all known synthetic polyamides. The fibre material may be in a very wide range of presentation, for example as loose material, tops, yarn and piece goods or carpets.

~2731S4 A particularly preferred embodiment of the process of this lnvention comprises dyeing natural or synthetic polyamide fibre material, preferably wool, with at least one dye mixture as defined above, in the presence of sodlum fluoride, ammonium fluorosilicate or sodium fluorosilicate, preferably in two to three times the amount by weight, based on the amount by weight of 1:1 chromium complex dye, and optionally in the presence of a levelling assistant comprising compounds of the formula (2) or a mixture of compounds of the formulae (1) and (2) or (1), (2) and (3), and in the presence of sodium acetate, ammonium acetate or sodium s~lfate, in the p~ range from 4 to 5.

The sulfo-containing metal-free dye~ used in the process of the present invention may contain one or more fibre-reactive groups. In the process of the invention it i5 preferred to use those mixtures of 1:1 metal complex dyes as defined herein, wherein the metal-free dyes are either all reactive dyes or are all devoid of fibre-react-ive groups. It is most preferred to use sulfo-containing metal-free dyes that do not contain fibre-reactive groups.

A very particularly preferred embodiment of the invention comprlses the use of dye mixtures consisting of those metal-containing and metal-free dyes which give dyeings of the same shade, i.e. for example the use of a mixture of at least one sulfo-containing 1:1 metal complex dye and at least one sulfo-containing metal-free dye, each of which dyes in a blue shade.

Compared with the known processes for dyeing natural or synthetic polyamide fibre material, the proceas of this invention has the following advantages in addition to those already mentioned above.
The material dyed under the dyeing conditions has better allround fastness properties, in particular better wetfastness properties. A
further essential advantage is that the dyes are taken up almost completely onto the fibre. When dyeing is complete, the dyebaths are almost completely exhausted.

~27~1S~

The invention further relates to a composition for carrying out the process of the invention. The compositioD is a solid mixture containing at least one sulfo-containing 1:1 metal complex dye~
in particular a 1:1 chromium complex dye, and at least one sulfo-containing metal-free dye, and an alkali metal or ammonium fluoride, alkali metal or ammonium fluorosilicate, alkali metal or ammonium fluoroborate, alkali metal or ammonium fluorozirconate or alkali metal or ammonium fluorosulfonate.

The composition of this invention i9 prepared by mixing a sulfo-containing 1:1 chromium complex dye and at least one sulfo-con-taining metal-free dye with an alkali metal or ammonium fluoride, alkali metal or ammonium fluorosilicate, alkali metal or ammonium fluoroborate, alkali metal or ammonium fluorozirconate or alkali metal or ammonium fluorosulfonate. Mixing is carried out, for example, in suitable mills, e.g. ball or pin mills, as well as in kneaders or mixers.

Preferred compositions contain sodium or ammonium fluoride or sodium or ammonium fluorosilicate, in addition to the dye mixture.

The solid mixtures can be used for dyeing natural or synthetic polyamide fibre materials. The same preferences apply to the solid mixtures as to the process.
