EP0459950B1 - Stabilisation of dyes on polyamide fibres - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a method for improving the thermal and / or photochemical stability of the dyeings on the polyamide fibers and the polyamide fiber material dyed by this method.

From US-A-3 665 031 it is known to use undyed polymers such as e.g. Protect polyamides against the influence of heat and / or oxygen (air oxidation) with the help of water-soluble phenolic antioxidants. However, this protection does not meet today's requirements.

EP-A-0 255 481 discloses a process for the photochemical stabilization of polyamide fiber materials with the aid of water-soluble copper complex compounds.

It has now been found that the dyeings on the polyamide fibers can be better protected by treatment with phenolic water-soluble antioxidants and UV absorbers.

Alkyl groups in the o-position to the hydroxyl group of A can be straight or branched and contain 1-12, preferably 4-8 C atoms. Alpha-branched alkyl groups are preferred. These are, for example, the methyl, ethyl, iso-propyl, tert-butyl, iso-amyl, octyl, tert-octyl and dodecyl group. The tert-butyl group is particularly preferred.

Cycloalkyl groups in the o-position to the hydroxyl group of A contain 6-10, preferably 6-8 carbon atoms. Examples include the cyclohexyl, methylcyclohexyl and cyclooctyl group.

Aralkyl groups in the o-position to the hydroxyl group of A contain 7-10, preferably 8-9 carbon atoms. Examples include the α-methyl and α, α-dimethylbenzyl groups.

The radical A can also be substituted by further alkyl, cycloalkyl or aralkyl groups, as defined above, these preferably being in the o'- or p-position to the hydroxyl group, provided that these positions are not occupied by the bond to Y. are. Furthermore, at least one m position to the hydroxyl group is advantageously unsubstituted, while the other can be substituted by lower alkyl groups, such as the methyl group.

in the
R and R ₁ independently represent hydrogen, methyl or tert-butyl and the sum of the carbon atoms of R and R _{1 is} at least 2.

X and X 'in formulas (2) and (3) can be straight-chain or branched and contain 1 to 8, preferably 1 to 5, carbon atoms. Examples of these are the methylene, ethylene, trimethylene, propylene, 2-thia-trimethylene or the 2-oxapentamethylene radical.

R ₂ or R ₃ in formulas (2) and (3) can be straight-chain or branched as an alkyl group and contain 1 to 18, preferably 1 to 8, carbon atoms. Examples include the methyl, ethyl, iso-propyl, pentyl, octyl, dodecyl and octadecyl group.

The substituted alkyl group R ₂ or R _{3 is,} for example, a hydroxyalkyl, alkoxyalkyl, aminoalkyl, alkylaminoalkyl or a dialkylaminoalkyl group with a total of 2 to 10, preferably 2 to 5, carbon atoms. Examples of this are the β-hydroxyethyl, β-methoxyethyl, β-aminoethyl, β, β'-diethylaminoethyl or the β-butylaminoethyl group.

R ₂ or R ₃ can also represent an aryl group, preferably the phenyl group.

Compounds in which y in formulas (2) and (3) means zero generally have a substantially better stabilizing action than compounds in which y means one.

Compounds of the formula (1) in which Y is a radical of the formula (5) are particularly preferred

• X "represents C ₁ -C ₄ alkylene.

Z in formula (1) means, for example, the residue of an unsubstituted or substituted by carboxyl groups lower alkane having at least two carbon atoms, the residue of an unsubstituted or by chlorine or bromine, C ₁ -C ₄ alkyl, C ₁ -C ₄ alkoxy , C ₁ -C ₄ alkoxycarbonylamino, hydroxy, carboxy, phenylethyl, styryl, phenyl, phenoxy, phenylthio, phenylsulfonyl or acylamino substituted benzene nucleus, where the group W can be bonded directly to this benzene nucleus or to a monocyclic aryl radical of one of its substituents, or it means the naphthalene or tetralin residue.

As the residue of a lower alkane, Z can be straight-chain or branched and contain 2 to 5, preferably 2, carbon atoms. It is, for example, the ethylene, propylene, trimethylene or pentamethylene radical. This residue can optionally be substituted by carboxyl groups. An example of this is the carboxyethylene residue.

As a benzene radical, Z in formula (1) can be further substituted. For example, it may have straight-chain or branched C ₁ -C ₄ -alkyl radicals, for example substituted by the methyl, ethyl or isopropyl group; the methyl group is preferred. C ₁ -C ₄ alkoxy groups as substituents of a benzene radical Z are, for example, the methoxy, ethoxy or butoxy group. If Z is substituted as a benzene radical by an acylamino group, its acyl radical is derived in particular from a C ₂ -C ₆ -aliphatic or a monocarbocyclic aromatic carboxylic acid. Examples are the rest of the acetic, propionic, β-methoxypropionic, benzoic, aminobenzoic or methylbenzoic acid. Examples of C ₁ -C ₄ alkoxycarbonylamino groups as substituents of a benzene radical Z are the methoxy, ethoxy or butoxycarbonylamino radical.

If the group Z contains phenylethyl, styryl, phenyl, phenoxy, phenylthio or phenylsulfonyl groups as substituents, these can optionally be substituted by chlorine or bromine, C ₁ -C ₄ -alkyl groups, such as the methyl or ethyl group, C ₁ - C ₄ alkoxy groups, such as the methoxy group, acylamino groups, such as the acetyl or benzoylamino group, or alkoxycarbonylamino groups, such as the methoxy or ethoxycarbonylamino group.

Optionally, several, identical or different of the above-mentioned substituents of the benzene radical Z or its aryl group-containing substituents can also be present at the same time.

As a naphthalene radical, the group Z can optionally be substituted by C ₁ -C ₄ -alkyl or alkoxy groups, such as the methyl or methoxy group.

In general, compounds of the formula (1) in which the radical Z contains hydroxyl, amino, acylamino, alkoxycarbonylamino or styryl substituents show more discoloration on exposure than compounds in which Z is free of substituents or otherwise substituted.

For economic reasons, compounds in which Z is the ethylene radical, a phenylene, tolylene, chlorophenylene or naphthylene radical or a divalent radical of the diphenyl ether, a methyl or a chlorodiphenyl ether, or in certain applications compounds in which Z is a trivalent radical are particularly preferred Rest of the benzene or naphthalene means. Compounds in which Z represents a phenyl or diphenyl ether radical show particularly good lightfastness, while compounds in which Z represents a naphthyl or phenylethylphenyl radical have excellent wash fastness properties.

In the exhaust process, the liquor ratio can be within a wide range can be selected, for example 1: 3 to 1: 200, preferably 1:10 to 1:40. It is convenient to work at a temperature of 20 to 120 ° C, preferably 40 to 100 ° C.

In the continuous process, the liquor order is expediently 40-700, preferably 40-500% by weight. The fiber material is then subjected to a heat treatment process in order to fix the applied dyes and the antioxidants. This fixation can also be done using the cold-dwell method.

The heat treatment is preferably carried out by a steaming process with treatment in a steamer with possibly superheated steam at a temperature of 98 to 105 ° C during e.g. 1-7, preferably 1-5 minutes. The dyes can be fixed in accordance with the cold residence process by storing the impregnated and preferably rolled-up goods at room temperature (15 to 30 ° C) e.g. during 3 to 24 hours, the cold residence time being known to depend on the dye.

Dyeing is started at 40 ° C., the mixture is held at this temperature for 10 minutes and heated to 95 ° C. in 30 minutes. After a dyeing time of 20 minutes at 95 ° C, 2% acetic acid (80%) is added to each liquor and dyeing is continued for 30 minutes. The mixture is then cooled to 70 ° C., rinsed, centrifuged and the samples are dried at 80 ° C.

The dyeings are tested for lightfastness according to SN-ISO 105-BO2 (Xenon) and DIN 75202 (Fakra). To investigate the photochemical stability of the fiber material, samples are exposed for 216 hours in accordance with DIN 75202 and tested for their tensile strength and elongation in accordance with SN 198.461.
