A series of disperse dyes, 9,10-anthraquinone containing dithiocarbamate,
thiourea and triazole fragments, were prepared via consecutive
refunctionalization of aminoanthraquinones in our previous studies and their
structures were confirmed by the 1H, 13C NMR, IR spectra, LC-MS and
elemental analysis data. The obtained compounds were applied on polyester
fabrics by the exhaustion method at 130?C at pH 4.0-5.0, and their dyeing
properties were evaluated by color measurements, the washing fastness test
and the light fastness test. Many of these dyes gave solid and level dyeings
on polyester fabric with low % concentration of dye. The dyed samples
displayed very good color fastnesses. The color change and staining test
results were quite good with ratings of ?4-5? or above. The light fastness
test results were also satisfactory for the most of the dyed samples.
