Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of disperse dye technology, and specifically relates to a disperse deep blue to black dye composition and its application. Background Technology
[0002] In the textile printing and dyeing industry, disperse dyes have become the core material for fabric coloring due to their adaptability to dyeing hydrophobic fibers such as polyester. Among them, dark disperse dyes, such as blue to black and navy blue, have been in high market demand, and their performance optimization has always been a key research focus in the industry. At present, dark disperse dyes mostly adopt a multi-component blending technology, which achieves color adjustment, fastness improvement and dyeing adaptability expansion by compounding dye monomers with different structures, so as to meet the requirements of fabrics for color diversity and environmental stability.
[0003] However, existing blended dyes suffer from poor component compatibility and high-temperature instability in practical applications, severely restricting the stability of dyeing quality. For example, dye monomers with different structures, such as azo and anthraquinone, exhibit significant differences in molecular polarity, spatial configuration, and interfacial interactions. For instance, some azo dye monomers containing cyanoethyl or phenethyl substituents are prone to agglomeration during commercial processing (such as sand milling and microparticle formation) or storage when mixed with other dye monomers containing alkoxy or amino substituents due to unbalanced intermolecular forces (such as differences in hydrogen bonding ability and hydrophobic group repulsion). This compatibility defect not only leads to uneven dye particle size distribution but also reduces dye dispersibility in the dye bath during dyeing, resulting in color spots and patches on the fabric surface. Furthermore, the color reproducibility of the same batch of dyes is poor, with large batch-to-batch color differences, failing to meet the dyeing consistency requirements of high-end fabrics. Existing blended dyes also exhibit poor tolerance to changes in processing conditions. For example, traditional disperse dyes are prone to hydrolysis or configurational changes under alkaline conditions, leading to significant variations in fabric hue and even dyeing failure. Similarly, if blended dyes have poor component compatibility, slight changes in processing conditions such as heating rate and holding time can result in excessive color differences in the fabric. Furthermore, with increasing industry demands for environmental protection and efficiency, the one-bath dyeing process is gradually being promoted. This process requires dyes to be stable under alkaline conditions, but existing blended dyes have limited alkali-resistant components, and blending them with conventional components can lead to reduced key fastness properties such as wash fastness and sublimation fastness.
[0004] Therefore, in order to meet the modern printing and dyeing industry's demands for process flexibility, dyeing stability, and environmental efficiency, developing dark-colored disperse dye compositions with excellent component compatibility and strong process tolerance has become an urgent technical challenge. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dispersed deep blue to black dye composition and its application.
[0006] The present invention first provides a dispersed deep blue to black dye composition, comprising component A, component B, component C, and component D; The structural formula of component A is shown in equation (Ⅰ) below:
[0007] Wherein, R1 and R2 are each independently halogen, nitro or cyano, and R3 is halogen or halogen-substituted alkyl, wherein the alkyl is a C1-C4 straight-chain alkyl.

[0009] The structure of component B is shown in formula (II) below:
[0010] In formula (II), R4 is hydrogen or C1-C4 alkoxy, and R5 is hydrogen or NHCOR. a R a It is a C1-C4 alkyl group.
[0011] More specifically, component B is one of the following dyes: , , .
[0012] The structure of component C is shown in equation (Ⅲ) below:
[0013] In formula (Ⅲ), X1 is a halogen, and R6 and R7 are each independently selected from hydrogen, alkoxy, or NHCOR. b R b It is a C1-C4 alkyl group; R8 and R9 are each independently selected from phenyl and C1-C4 alkyl groups.
[0014] More specifically, component C is one of the following dyes: , , , , , , .
[0015] The structure of component D is shown in formula (IV):
[0016] In equation (IV), R10 R 11 Each is independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, or cyano groups, R 12 R 13 Each is independently selected from C1-C4 alkyl, cyanoethyl, benzyl, or phenylethyl.
[0017] More specifically, component D is one of the following dyes: , , , .
[0018] Furthermore, the dispersed deep blue to black dye composition comprises, by mass percentage, component A 1-20%, preferably 5-10%; component B 1-20%, preferably 5-10%; component C 10-40%, preferably 15-20%; component D 1-10%, preferably 1-5%; the remainder being auxiliaries.
[0019] The auxiliaries described in this invention are dispersants, diffusion agents, and other surfactants commonly used in the compounding of disperse dyes, preferably selected from one or more of the following in any proportion: naphthalene sulfonic acid formaldehyde condensate, lignin sulfonate, alkyl naphthalene sulfonic acid formaldehyde condensate, specifically such as methyl naphthalene sulfonic acid formaldehyde condensate (dispersant MF), naphthalene sulfonic acid formaldehyde condensate (diffusion agent NNO), benzyl naphthalene sulfonic acid formaldehyde condensate (diffusion agent CNF), sodium lignin sulfonate (lignin 85A, lignin 83A), etc.

[0021] The dispersed deep blue to black dye composition provided by the present invention can stably dye in dyeing solutions with pH 4-12 without the need for reduction washing.
[0022] The disperse deep blue to black dye composition provided by this invention exhibits excellent adaptability to various fabrics. For all-polyester fabrics, the dye deeply penetrates the fiber interior, forming a stable colorfastness structure. In polyester-cotton blends, it effectively balances the water-repellency of cotton fibers and the hydrophobicity of polyester, ensuring uniform dyeing and meeting colorfastness standards. When applied to polyester-spandex elastic fabrics, it can simultaneously dye the spandex filaments, achieving color matching between the polyester-spandex fabric and the spandex fibers, maintaining consistent color and no reduction in colorfastness. Compared to ordinary high-wash dyes, under the same testing conditions, its wash fastness, sublimation fastness, and perspiration fastness are all more than half a grade higher than ordinary dyes. Compared to commercially available alkali-resistant dyes, it has higher strength. Even under harsh conditions, it can still meet various fastness requirements. This superior colorfastness performance can help companies upgrade their product quality. Furthermore, the disperse dyes provided by this invention do not require reduction washing after dyeing, significantly reducing costs and enhancing the company's market competitiveness.
