Abstract
Leather is dyed using dye mixtures comprising at least two metal-free dyes each carrying a single sulfo or carboxyl group and having a molecular weight in the range from 450 to 700. It is preferred to use a trichromatic dyeing formulation comprising at least one yellow dye of formula (1), at least one red dye of formula (2) and at least one blue dye of formula (3) according to claim 2. Leather is dyed in brilliant shades with these dye mixtures.
Claims26
A process for dyeing leather, which comprises applying a dye mixture to the leather wherein the dye mixture comprises at least two dyes selected from the group consisting of
- a) a yellow dye of formula ##STR32## wherein R.sub.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl,
- R.sub.2 is OH or NH.sub.2,
- R.sub.3 is hydrogen or halogen,
- R.sub.4 is hydrogen or sulfo,
- R.sub.5 is hydrogen, halogen, sulfo or a group ##STR33## the phenyl rings of which last three mentioned groups may be substituted by halogen, and
- R.sub.6 is hydrogen, halogen or a group ##STR34## wherein R.sub.7 is hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, R.sub.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl and n is 0, 1, 2 or 3,
- b) a red dye of formula ##STR35## wherein R.sub.8 is sulfo or ##STR36## R.sub.9 is sulfo, ##STR37## or a group ##STR38## wherein R.sub.7 is hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, R.sub.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl and n is 1, 2 or 3,
- R.sub.10 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylcarbonylamino or halo-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylcarbonylamino, and
- R.sub.11 is hydrogen or halogen, and
- c) a blue dye of formula ##STR39## wherein R.sub.12, R.sub.13 and R.sub.14 are each independently of one another hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl,
- R.sub.15 is hydrogen, methyl, --SO.sub.2 --NH--R.sub.17 or --CH.sub.2 --NH--CO--R.sub.18, and
- R.sub.16 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or R.sub.15, and R.sub.17 is hydroxy-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl and R.sub.18 is phenyl or halo-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl.
