## Abstract

The present invention relates to a new process for dyeing or printing fibre materials with reactive dyestuffs which split off fluoride ions, which is characterized in that neutral or acid dyebaths or printing pastes which contain, in addition to the reactive dyestuff and customary auxiliaries and solvents, one or more organic and/or inorganic calcium compounds are employed.

## Claims

### Claim 1

Process for dyeing or printing fibre materials with the aid of reactive dyestuffs which split off fluoride ions, characterised in that neutral or acid dyebaths or printing pastes which contain, in addition to the reactive dyestuff and customary auxiliaries and solvents, one or more organic and/or inorganic calcium compounds are employed said calcium compounds being soluble in water or being sparingly soluble in water.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

Process according to claim 1, characterised in that the dye liquor or printing paste has a pH value of 4-7.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1, 2)

Process according to claim 1 or 2, characterised in that the dyeing or printing process is carried out at a temperature of 20.degree. to 240.degree. C.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1, 2)

Process according to claim 1 or 2, characterised in that it is carried out by one of the following process variants (a) to (e): (a) Exhaustion process in the presence of 10 to 200 g of NaCl or Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4 per liter of dye liquor,
(b) pad-thermofix process in the presence of 0 to 40 g of dicyandiamide and/or 0 to 200 g of urea per liter of dye liquor,
(c) pad-steam process in the presence of 0 to 200 g of urea per liter of dye liquor,
(d) direct printing with intermediate drying in the presence of 0 to 200 g of urea per kg of printing paste, and subsequent steaming, or
(e) direct printing with intermediate drying in the presence of 0 to 200 g of urea, and subsequent dry heat treatment.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1, 2)

Process according to claims 1 or 2, characterised in that one liter of dye liquor or one kg of printing paste contains 0.1 to 10 kg of a hexaphosphate.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1, 2)

Process according to claims 1 or 2 characterised in that one liter of dye liquor or one kg of printing paste contains 0.1 to 10 g of a naturally occurring or synthetic thickener.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1, 2)

Process according to claims 1 or 2, characterised-in that a dyestuff which carries at least one difluorochloropyrimidinyl group is employed as the dyestuff which splits off fluoride ions.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1, 2)

Process according to claims 1 or 2, characterised in that a dyestuff which carries at least one monofluoropyrimidinyl group is employed as the dyestuff which splits off fluoride ions.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1, 2)

Process according to claims 1 or 2, characterised in that a dyestuff which carries at least one monofluorotriazinyl group is employed as the dyestuff which splits off fluoride ions.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1, 2)

Process according to claims 1 or 2, characterised in that a dyestuff which carries at least one tetrafluorocyclobutyl group is employed as the dyestuff which splits of fluoride ions.

### Claim 11 (depends on 2)

Process according to claim 2 wherein the process is carried out in the presence of disperse dyestuffs.
