Title: Improvements in the Manufacture and Production of Azo Colouring-matter and of Lakes from Azo Colouring-matters.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1900-02-12
Granted: 1901-01-12
Abstract: 2784. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Feb. 12. Pigments.-Relates to the production of an azo dye isomeric with that described in Specification No. 25,511, A.D. 1899, and of lakes from it and other isomeric azo dyes. The new azo dye is produced by combining 2 :7-naphthylamine sulphonic acid with #-naphtol. The lakes are produced by converting this dye and the dyes obtained by combining with #-naphthol other hetero-nuclear #- naphthylamine monosulphonic acids, viz., the 2 : 5-, 2 : 8-, and 2:6- naphthylamine sulphonic acids, into their barium, calcium, lead, aluminium, and zinc salts, which are practically insoluble in water. The products are brilliant scarlet reds, except the lime lake of the #-naphthol azo dye from 2 :8- naphthylamine sulphonic acid, which is a bordeauxred. In preparing the lakes derived from 2 : 5- and 2 :8- naphthylamine sulphonic acids, it is preferred to use, in the form of a paste, the free colour acids. These acids react not only with metallic oxides, hydrates, and carbonates, but also with certain metallic salts, such as barium chloride, and lead acetate, upon boiling therewith. The lakes derived from the 2 : 6- and 2 : 7- acids are preferably produced by double decomposition of the alkaline salts of the colour acids with soluble salts of the metals to be employed. The details of the operations are the same as those described in Specification No. 25,511, A.D. 1899.
