Very light fast blue disperse dyes

The present invention is in the field of disperse dyes.

For dyeing polyester fibers for use in automotive textiles in blue shades, dyes belonging to the class of anthraquinones are generally used. However, the dyes of this type which are currently used in practice do not fully satisfy the high demands on lightfastness, in particular on the fastness to light of light. This is especially true for combinations with heat-yellow and red disperse dyes (so-called trichromatic), where it depends on the fact that the individual components of the trichromy fade to the same extent, so it does not cause sound changes under the action of light.

Anthrachinonacridones and their use as dyes are already known from the literature. For example, DE239543, CH56472, CH144867, DE579326, DE665598, US2,185,140, DE652773 describe vat dyes of this type for dyeing cotton.

Anthrachinonacridone are also already described for dyeing polyester fibers. In this respect, reference is made to DE 1 176 775 B, but in particular to WO02 / 051942, WO02 / 051924, DE 1 171 101 B and DE 1 278 391 B. Thus, the latter describes a process for dyeing and printing fibrous material from high molecular weight polyesters, in which, for example, anthraquinone-3,4-benzachedones are used which carry a butyrylamino or a β-chloropropionylamino radical in the 1-position. Although these dyes already provide strong colorations with excellent fastness properties, but still have drawbacks on polyester on drawability.

It was therefore an object of the present invention to provide blue-dyeing disperse dyes which are superior to the known dyes in terms of fastness to light, especially in mixtures with other dyes in a trichromatic process, as well as with regard to their drawability. Surprisingly, it has now been found that specially selected representatives from the series of anthraquinone acridones solve the problem posed here.

The present invention thus relates to dyes of the general formula I.

As a hydrophobic synthetic materials for example secondary cellulose-2 ^1/2 acetate, Cellulosethacetat, polyamides, and in particular high molecular weight polyesters. Materials of high molecular weight polyesters are especially those based on polyethylene glycol terephthalates.

The hydrophobic synthetic materials may be in the form of flat or thread-like structures and be processed for example into yarns or woven, knitted or knitted fabrics. Preferred are fibrous Textile materials. Very particular preference is given to polyester fibers and polyester textile materials for automotive upholstery materials.

In a preferred embodiment of the use according to the invention, dye mixtures containing at least one dye of the general formula I and at least one dye which can be used for dyeing polyester fibers and polyester textile materials for automotive fabrics are used.

Dyeing according to the invention can be carried out in a manner known per se, preferably from aqueous dispersion, if appropriate in the presence of carriers, between 80 to about 110 ° C. by the exhaustion process or after the HT process in the dye autoclave at 110 to 140 ° C, as well as after the so-called heat-setting process, wherein the goods are padded with the dyeing liquor and then fixed at about 180 to 230 ° C.

The printing of the materials mentioned can be carried out in a manner known per se so that the dyes or dye mixtures according to the invention are incorporated into a printing paste and the goods printed therewith for fixing the dye, optionally in the presence of a carrier, at temperatures between 180 to 230 ° C. is treated with HT steam, compressed steam or dry heat.

The dyestuffs and dyestuff mixtures according to the invention are particularly suitable for dyeing and printing polyester fibers and

Polyester textile materials for automotive fabrics. It is preferred to carry out the dyeing and printing in the presence of UV absorbers, for example those based on benzophenone or benzotriazole. Details of dyeing and printing automotive trim fabrics are known to those skilled in the art and described in the pertinent literature.

In addition, can be dyed and printed with the dyes and dye mixtures according to the invention but also intended for other purposes hydrophobic synthetic materials, such as alkalized Polyester fibers, polyester microfibers or non-fibrous materials.

When used in dyeing liquors, padding liquors or printing pastes, the dyestuffs and dyestuff mixtures according to the invention should be in the finest possible distribution.

The fine distribution of the dyes is carried out in manner known per se, by slurrying the dye obtained in the fabrication together with dispersants in a liquid medium, preferably in water, and exposing the mixture to the action of shear forces, the originally present dye particles mechanically so far be crushed that an optimum specific surface area is achieved and the sedimentation of the dye is minimized. This is done in suitable mills, such as ball or sand mills. The particle size of the dyes is generally between 0.5 and 5 Dm, preferably about 1 Dm.

The dispersants co-used in the milling process may be non-ionic or anionic. Nonionic dispersants are, for example, reaction products of alkylene oxides, such as, for example, ethylene oxide or propylene oxide with alkylatable compounds, for example fatty alcohols, fatty amines, fatty acids, phenols, alkylphenols and carboxamides. Anionic dispersants are, for example, lignosulfonates, alkyl or alkylarylsulfonates or alkylaryl polyglycol ether sulfates.

The dye formulations thus obtained should be pourable for most applications. The dye and dispersant content is therefore limited in these cases. Generally, the dispersions are adjusted to a dye content of up to 50 percent by weight and a dispersant content of up to about 25 percent by weight. For economic reasons, dye shades of 15% by weight are usually not fallen below. The dispersions may also contain other auxiliaries, for example those which act as oxidizing agents, for example sodium m-nitrobenzenesulfonate or fungicidal agents, for example sodium o-phenylphenolate and sodium pentachlorophenolate and in particular so-called "acid donors", such as Example butyrolactone, monochloroacetamide, Sodium chloroacetate, sodium dichloroacetate, the Na salt of 3-chloropropionic acid, half esters of sulfuric acid such as lauryl sulfate, and sulfuric acid esters of ethoxylated and oxypropylated alcohols such as butylglycol sulfate.

The dye dispersions thus obtained can be used very advantageously for the approach of dyeing liquors and printing pastes.

For certain applications, powder settings are preferred. These powders contain the dye or the dye mixture, dispersants and other auxiliaries, such as wetting, oxidation, preservation and

Dust remover and the above "acid donors".

A preferred preparation process for pulverulent dye preparations consists in removing the liquid from the liquid dye dispersions described above, for example by vacuum drying, freeze-drying, drying on drum dryers, but preferably by spray-drying.

To prepare the dyeing liquors, the required amounts of the dye formulations described above are diluted with the dyeing medium, preferably with water, to such an extent that a liquor ratio of 1: 5 to 1:50 results for the dyeing. In addition, further dyeing auxiliaries, such as dispersants, wetting agents and fixing aids, are generally added to the liquors. By adding organic and inorganic acids such as acetic acid, succinic acid, boric acid or phosphoric acid, a pH of 4 to 5, preferably 4.5, adjusted. It is advantageous to buffer the adjusted pH and to add a sufficient amount of a buffer system. An advantageous buffer system is, for example, the acetic acid / sodium acetate system.

If the dye or the dye mixture to be used in textile printing, the required amounts of the above dye settings in a conventional manner together with thickeners, such as alkali alginates or the like, and optionally other additives, such as fixing accelerators, wetting agents and Oxidizing agents, kneaded to printing pastes. example 1

Example 2

50 parts of 6-aminoanthraquinone-2,1-acridone (general formula VIII with R ¹ -R ⁴ = hydrogen) are initially charged in 664 parts of chlorobenzene. At 100 ° C., 16 parts of pyridine and 23 parts of methanesulfonyl chloride are added. It is stirred for 15 h at 125 ° C. Then another 3.2 parts of pyridine and 4.6 parts of methanesulfonyl chloride are added. The mixture is stirred for a further 12 h at 125 ° C and then allowed to cool to room temperature. It is filtered off with suction and washed with chlorobenzene, then with methanol. This gives 49 parts of the dye of Ib

Analogously to Example 2, the dyes are obtained in the table below.

Example 22

30 g of the dye obtained according to Example 2 (in the form of the water-moist press cake) are mixed in 200 ml of water with 63 g Nathumligninsulfonat and 3 g of a nonionic dispersant (addition product of abietic acid and 50 molar equivalents of ethylene oxide) and with 25% sulfuric acid to a pH Value of 7. The mixture is then ground for 1 h at room temperature in a bead mill (90% <1 μm), sieved and dried in a spray dryer. 2 g of the powder thus obtained are dispersed in 1000 g of water. The dispersion is treated with 0.5 to 2 g per liter of a commercial dispersant based on a condensation product of Naphthalinsulfonsäurenathumsalz and

Formaldehyde, 0.5 to 2 g per l of liquor monosodium phosphate and 2 g per l of a commercial commercial leveling agent added and adjusted with acetic acid to a pH of 4.5 to 5.5. 100 g of a textured polyester fabric based on polyethylene glycol terephthalate are introduced into the dyeing liquor obtained in this way and dyed at 130 ° C. for 60 minutes. After reductive Nachreinigen gives a blue color of excellent light and hot light fastness and very good sublimation fastness.

By proceeding with the dyes of Examples 1 and 3-21, blue dyeings of excellent fastness to hot light are also obtained.

Example 23

0.176 g of the dye of the formula Ia from Example 1 are dissolved in 10 ml of hot DMF, to this is added 1 ml of conc. Levegal ^® DLP (commercial product of Lanxess Germany GmbH) and 290 ml of water. With stirring, 0.318 g of the dye Cl. Disperse Yellow 71 (as 33.7% formulated product) and 0.300 g of Dye Cl. Dispers Red 86 (as a 34.9% formulated product) was added. It is adjusted to pH 4.5 with acetic acid / sodium acetate and 1 g of levegal DLP is added to 1 l of this liquor. From this stock solution, take a volume containing 0.005 g of the dye of the formula Ia from Example 1, make up to 100 ml with water and give 5 g

Polyester velours to it. It is 45 min at 135 ° C with a heating rate of 1 grd / min dyed. After cooling, hot and cold rinsing. After reductive post-cleaning, a gray color of excellent heat-fastness is obtained. If this dyeing is carried out with the addition of 0.100 g of a UV absorber based on phenylthiazines or benzotriazoles, then gray dyeings of excellent fastness to light are also obtained. In the case of benzthazole, the fastness to lightfastness is somewhat higher than without the use of a UV absorber , Example 24

0.150 g of the dye of Example 9 and 0.150 g of the dye of Example 10 are dissolved in 10 ml of hot DMF, to this is added 1 ml of conc. Levegal DLP and 290 ml of water. With stirring, 0.388 g of the dye Cl. Disperse Yellow 71 (as a 5.3% formulated product), 0.388 g of Dye Cl. Solvent Yellow 163 (as a 24.6% formulated product) and 0.185 g of a dye of the formula IV with R ¹⁴ = phenyl and R ¹⁵ = hydroxyethoxyethyl in the form of the isomer mixture with reversed R ¹⁴ and R ¹⁵ (as 23.4% pure form Product) was added. It is adjusted to pH 4.5 with acetic acid / sodium acetate and 1 g of levegal DLP is added to 1 l of this liquor.

From this stock solution, take a volume containing 0.00425 g of the dye of Example 9, make up to 100 ml with water and add 5 g of polyester velor. It is 45 min at 135 ° C with a heating rate of 1 grd / min dyed. After cooling, hot and cold rinsing. After reductive post-cleaning also gives a gray color of excellent heat-fastness.

If this dyeing is carried out with the addition of 0.150 g of a UV absorber based on phenylthiazines or of 0.100 g of a UV absorber based on benzthazoles, gray dyeings of excellent fastness to hot light are also obtained. In both cases, the heat-fastness is still somewhat higher than without the use of a UV absorber, whereby fading-on-tone is achieved when phenyltriazine is used, that is, there is no change in hue on fading.
