Description

Liquid dye preparations

The present invention relates to liquid, water and dye preparations containing organic solvents, which are characterized by the fact that they are except water ^ 5 to .405ε at least one salt of a water-soluble / anionic dye and $ 20 to $ 50 at least one I. Alcohol of the formula

• R - (O-alkylene) _n - OH (I)

contained as the only organic solvent; whereby On the formula (I) ·.

R is hydrogen or low molecular weight alkyl, alkylene is an alkylene radical having 2 to H carbon atoms and η is a low integer, and the ratio of the dye to the alcohol of the formula (I) is at most 1.2-1st,;

as well as a process for the production of liquid, water and dye preparations containing organic solvents, which is characterized in that 5 up to 40 parts of at least one salt of a water-soluble, anionic, essentially free of inorganic salts Dye in any order with water and with 20 up to 50 parts of at least one alcohol of the formula (I) intimately vermisoht, the amount of water being chosen so that

109835/1287

100 parts of dye preparation are obtained and the ' ratio of the dye to the alcohol of the formula (I) is at most 1.2 /.

Compared to the commonly used dye powders possess the liquid dye preparations according to the invention some notable advantages, e.g. that they do not generate dust, that they are easier to handle, since the quantity measurement with the help of a balance through a simple volume

*

measurement is replaced and that it is easier in water and dissolve better, e.g. by briefly stirring with water or in many cases even by simply diluting with water.

Such dyes come into consideration as anionic dyes which, thanks to at least one anionic group, for example a carboxylic acid group, an acylated sulfonic acid amide group such as -SO ₂ -NH-SO ₂ -Cty / ^ BOg-NH-CO-CH_, but preferably a sulfonic acid group or a 112 metal complex group, are water soluble. In addition to one or more of the anionic groups mentioned above, the dyes can, in particular, the 1: 2 metal complex dyes which still carry other weakly water-solubilizing groups, such as optionally substituted SuIfonsaureamidgruppen (such as -SO ₂ -NH _2, ft -SO ₂ -NH-CH , -SO ₂ -NH-C ₂ H ₂₁ -OH, -SO ₂ -N (C ₂ H ^ OH) ₂ , -S0 ₂ -NH- / ~~ \)

and alkylsulfonyl groups (-SO ₂ -CH ^, -SOg-CgH-). These dyes have a solubility in water of, for example, 0.1 $ to SAa-- 10 $ at room temperature, in individual cases. even up to more than $ 20. Apart from the reactive dyes, which usually have a water solubility of about 10 $ on average at room temperature, practically all anionic dyes are soluble in water for less than 10 $, in many cases less than 5%, at room temperature. These values naturally refer to the pure salt and coupage-free dyes, while the commercial dyes in type strength always coupage and / or Sa 1 ζ £. at least 50 $ or more, and in concentrated form (this group also includes the reactive dyes) about 1 to several percent, e.g. 10 to 20 $, salt (NaCl, KCl, NH ^ Cl, NagSO ^ KgSO ^ depending on the one used Salting-out agent) and possibly also some water.

The dyes can be acidic or direct metal-free, metal-containing or metallizable dyes. You can choose from the series of sulfonic acid group-containing mono-, DiS or polyazo, anthraquinone, phthalocyanine, nitro, triphenylmethane, quinophthalone, xanthene or azine dyes, the l: l copper, l: l nickel or l: l chromium complex dyes, or the Ii2-chromium or Ij2-cobalt complex dyes belong. ■

The dyes (I) to (XVII) and XXVIII are examples of so-called wool dyes, which are used for dyeing, padding or printing wool, silk and synthetic Suit. The dyes XVIII to XXVII are representatives of the so-called direct dyes for natural and regenerated cellulose fibers.

The wool dyes contain 1 to about k sulfonic acid groups, some of which can be replaced by carboxylic acid or alkylsulfonyl groups or optionally acylated or monoalkylated or monophenylated sulfonic acid amide groups, or a 1s2-cobalteam or 112-chromium complex group and optionally one or two alkylsulfonyl groups or optionally monosulfonyl groups . The direct dyes can contain 1 to 6 sulfonic acid groups and / or carboxylic acid groups, for example one or two sulfonic acid groups, one sulfonic acid group and one carboxylic acid group, one sulfonic acid group and two carboxylic acid groups, two sulfonic acid and two carboxylic acid groups or each

1 0983 5/1207

two to five sulfonic acid groups and a carboxylic acid group next to them or three to six sulfonic acid groups. In certain cases, alkylsulfonyl groups or sulfonic acid amide groups partially replace the sulfonic acid groups.

The following alcohols of the formula (I) are for example: ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, methoxyethanol, Ethoxyethanol, methoxyethoxyethanol, propylene glycol etc. Diethylene glycol is preferably used alone or in a mixture with 2-methoxyethanol.

The ratio of the dye to the alcohol of formula (I) can vary from 1:10 to 12:10; a ratio of 2:10 to 10:10, in particular of, is advantageously chosen 2.5: 10 to 5:10.

The dye preparations are homogeneous at room temperatures Solutions, or solutions that contain some of the dye or dyes in fine suspension. At the The suspended dye portion settles on storage; but it can easily be added by stirring or shaking fine dispersion can be brought back. If the dye or dyes are not completely dissolved, it is advisable add a nonionic or anionic dispersant: e.g. an alkyl, alkenyl or alkylphenyl poly-

glyco ether, an alkyl or alkenyl sulfate, an alkylbenzenesulfonate, Fatty acid amido ethane sulfonate or ethyl sulfate, but preferably a dinaphthyl methane disulfonate or

a lignosulfonate, the cation being ammonium or an alkali metal ion, such as Na, K or lithium ion, or another cation can also be used.

The process described above for producing the dye preparations according to the invention can be carried out in various ways. Dyes are used which are essentially free of inorganic salts (NaCl, KCl, NH ₂₁ Cl, Na ₃ SO ₄ , K ₂ SO ₄ , (NH ₄ I ₂ SO ₄ ), ie not more than about 20 $, and preferably These dyes, which carry at least one sulfonate group, are optionally mixed in with at least one alcohol of the formula (I), for example with the aid of a high-speed stirrer, a homogenizer, a shaker, an intensive mixing device or ultrasound Addition of a dispersant finely dispersed and then intimately mixed with water, the

'Mixing process is continued until the dye

that differs from ammonia or from a water-soluble, low molecular weight aliphatic amine, such as mono-, di- or trimethylamine, mono-, di- or tri-ethanolamine, or -propanolamine, or derived from morpholine, provided that the cation in question has good solubility of the color

substance molecules in a mixture of water and an alcohol of formula (I) guaranteed. The preferred cations are those of the alkali metals, especially potassium and sodium. ■

If the dyes are used in the form of the free acids, z.ß. those isolated from acidic medium, no sulfonic acid group bearing Ii2 metal complex dyes, or the dyes deposited by acid which contain at least as many basic amino groups as acidic sulfonic acid groups contain such as, for example, the dye (VII), the dye is dispersed in water with the aid of one of the facilities mentioned above, gives a basic compound to neutralize the Ii2-Metallkomplexgru.ppe resp. of the free SO H group to, for example, up to one pH of 8-9 and mixed intimately with an alcohol of the Formula (I) until the dye is completely or partially dissolved
