Keywords: disperse dyes, Vapour-phase dyeing, Aqueous (carrier) dyeing, Dyeing properties, polyester fibre.

The preparation and application of azo disperse dyes from 1, 4-diaminobenzene and 4-amino-3- nitrotoluene are described. The azo dye derivatives of these two compounds exhibited very high light fastness on polyester fabric when applied using the Thermosol process in comparison with the aqueous (carrier) dyeing method which gave moderate light fastness. The azo dyes were characterized by elemental, IR and UV analyses. The prepared azo dyes may find application in the dyeing and printing of upholstery materials that may be exposed to long periods of sunlight during usage.
