Abstract
Process for the continuous dyeing and printing of piece goods made of synthetic polyamide fibers, preferably blended with cellulosic fibers, using reactive dyestuffs according to a thermofixing method, by applying onto the textile material an aqueous padding liquor or a printing paste, which has been weakly acidified by means of a buffer system of acetic acid and an alkali metal acetate and which contains a fiber-reactive dyestuff whose reactive groups have reversibly been masked by reaction with an alkali metal salt of an N-alkyl-aminoalkyl-sulfonic acid, and after drying of the material fixing the dyestuff on the two fiber components by means of dry heat.

In a process for the continuous dyeing and printing of fabrics comprising a blend of synthetic polyamide fibers and cellulose fibers, using reactive dyestuffs according to a thermofixing method, the improvement which comprises forming an aqueous padding liquor or a printing paste, weakly acidified by means of a buffer system of acetic acid and an alkali metal acetate and containing a fiber-reactive dyestuff whose reactive groups have reversibly been masked by reaction with an alkali metal salt of an N-alkyl-aminoalkylsulfonic acid, thereafter applying said padding liquor or printing paste onto said fabric, and after drying of the fabric, fixing the dyestuff on the two fiber components by means of dry heat.
