Title: Improvements in or relating to the colouration of textile fabrics
IPC: D06P3/82
Filed: 1937-04-09
Abstract: Coloured effects are obtained upon a fabric containing both yarns of an organic derivative of cellulose and such yarns which have been esterified, with colouration of the former yarns while leaving the latter yarns substantially uncoloured with the dyestuffs for the former yarns, by subjecting the fabric to the action of a liquid containing a dyestuff which has affinity for the former yarns and carries a hydrophile group having no strong auxochromic effect.  The esterified yarns may be those obtained by the processes described in Specifications 448,816, 448,817, or 448,917, and they may, if desired after superficial saponification, be coloured with other dyestuffs before or after their association with the unesterified yarns.  The fabric may be one made from yarn of an organic derivative of cellulose, which fabric has been subjected to local esterification in any desired pattern.  Specified hydrophile groups are sulphonic acid, sulphuric acid ester, carboxyl and aliphatic hydroxyl groups and specified dyestuffs containing such groups are, in addition to those of the example, below, 2 : 6-dinitrobenzene-4-sulphonic acid-azo-b -naphthylamine, 4-nitro-2-o  - sulphomethylbenzene - azo - ethylbenzylaniline, 1 : 4-di-(b -hydroxyethylamino)anthraquinone and its 5-hydroxy derivative and the sulphuric acid ester of 1 - methylamino-4-(b -hydroxyethyl - amino)anthraquinone.  In an example, a fabric containing cellulose acetate yarns of 52-54 per cent acetyl content and similar yarns which have been acetylated to an acetyl content of 60-62,5 per cent is immersed in an aqueous liquor containing sodium sulphate and 41 - (2 : 4 - dinitrophenyl)amino - 4 - methyl - diphenylamine-61 - sulphonic acid, the dyeing is completed at 80 DEG  C. and the fabric is scoured and dried; the non-acetylated yarns are dyed yellow while the acetylated yarns are uncoloured; the dyestuff may be replaced by the sulphuric acid ester of 4-nitrobenzene-azo-N-(ethyl-b -hydroxyethyl)aniline or its 2-chloro derivative or by 1-amino-4-phenylaminoanthraquinone-2-sulphonic acid.
