Abstract:
Aq. storage-stable, low-viscosity dispersions of dyes & fluorescent whiteners with particle size 65% ethylene oxide with mol. wt.> 1200, polyol, and auxiliaries. Thus, 400 parts I(dried to a low electrolyte content) was milled with a sulfonated kraft lignin 10, polyethylene-propylene glycol (mol. wt. 16500, 80% ethylene oxide) 20, H2O 398, propylene glycol 170, and preservative 2 parts to give a dye.
Abstract:
A process for the production of dyestuff preparations is described comprising subjecting a suspension of a difficultly water-soluble or water-insoluble dyestuff in water and/or an organic solvent having limited solubility in water and forming a two-phase system, optionally in the presence of a deflocculating agent to a particle-size-reducing operation until the particle size of the said suspension is preferably at most 2 microns; the subsequent addition, after removal of mechanical grinding agents present, of the water necessary for the formation of a two-phase system, or of the organic solvent having limited solubility in water; the addition to the dyestuff suspension, after formation of the two-phase system, of at least one high-molecular carrier, particularly cellulose ether or -ester, soluble in water or in the organic solvent having limited solubility in water, but insoluble in the two-phase system; the treatment of the carrier suspension until the organic phase containing the dyestuff has become evenly dispersed over the surface of the high-molecular carrier; the subsequent removal of the solvent; and, finally, the drying of the obtained dyestuff preparation, or dispersion thereof in water or in an organic solvent.
