Abstract
Abstract Aqueous compositions of tetra-alkali metal salts of 4,4''-bus(4p-sulfoanilino-6-diisopropanolamino-s-triazin-2-ylamino) -2,2''stilbenedisulfonic acid which are stable and have excellent pot life when used for whitening cellulose fibers concomitantly with their treatment with conventional thermosetting textile resins.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A METHOD OF PRODUCING FLUORESCENTLY WHITENED, RESINTREATED COTTOM WHICH COMPRISES CONTACTING THE RESIN-FREE-FIBERS WITH AN EFFECTIVE AMOUNT OF A STABLE AQUEOUS, FLUORESCENT WHITENING COMPOSITION WHICH CONTAINS AS THE ESSENTIAL FLUORESCENT WHITENING INGREDIENT APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 30 PERCENT BY WEIGHT OF A DISSOLVED TETRA-ALKALI METAL SALT OF 4,4''-BIS((4-PSULFOANILINO-6-DIISOPROPANOLAMINO-S-TRAZIN-2-YLAMINO) -2,2''STIBENEDISULFONIC ACID, AND APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 15 PERCENT BY WEIGHT OF A CO-SOLVENT SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF POLYHYDRIC ALCOHOLS, DIGLYCOL ETHERS, POLYETHYLENE GLYCOLS OF THE FORMULA H(OCH2XH2)NOH, WHEREIN N IS AN INTEGER FROM 4 TO 6, AND ALKANOLAMINES OF THE FORMULA (HO-ALK)P-NR3-P WHEREIN ALK IS A BIVALENT ALKANE RADICAL OF 2 TO 4 CARBON ATOMS, R IS HYDROGEN OR ALKYL OF 1 TO 2 CARBON ATOMS, AND P IS AN INTEGER FROM 1 TO 3 CONCOMITANTLY WITH THE APPLICATION OF THE TEXTILE TREATING RESIN; AND DRYING THE FLUORESCENTLY WITHENED AND RESIN-TREATED FIBERS.
Claim 2
Independent Claim

A METHOD OF PRODUCING FLUORESCENTLY WHITENED, RESINTREATED COTTOM WHICH COMPRISES CONTACTING THE RESIN-FREE-FIBERS WITH AN EFFECTIVE AMOUNT OF A STABLE AQUEOUS, FLUORESCENT WHITENING COMPOSITION WHICH CONTAINS AS THE ESSENTIAL FLUORESCENT WHITENING INGREDIENT APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 30 PERCENT BY WEIGHT OF A DISSOLVED TETRA-ALKALI METAL SALT OF 4,4''-BIS((4-PSULFOANILINO-6-DIISOPROPANOLAMINO-S-TRAZIN-2-YLAMINO) -2,2''STIBENEDISULFONIC ACID, AND APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 15 PERCENT BY WEIGHT OF A CO-SOLVENT SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF POLYHYDRIC ALCOHOLS, DIGLYCOL ETHERS, POLYETHYLENE GLYCOLS OF THE FORMULA H(OCH2XH2)NOH, WHEREIN N IS AN INTEGER FROM 4 TO 6, AND ALKANOLAMINES OF THE FORMULA (HO-ALK)P-NR3-P WHEREIN ALK IS A BIVALENT ALKANE RADICAL OF 2 TO 4 CARBON ATOMS, R IS HYDROGEN OR ALKYL OF 1 TO 2 CARBON ATOMS, AND P IS AN INTEGER FROM 1 TO 3 CONCOMITANTLY WITH THE APPLICATION OF THE TEXTILE TREATING RESIN; AND DRYING THE FLUORESCENTLY WITHENED AND RESIN-TREATED FIBERS.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein the aqueous composition contains approximately 10 to 30 percent by weight of the dissolved tetra-alkali metal salt of 4,4''-bis(4-p-sulfoanilino-6-diisopropanolamino-s-triazin-2-ylamino)-2,2'' -stilbenedisulfonic acid and approximately 5 to 15 percent by weight of a diglycol ether containing 4 or 6 carbon atoms.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method according to claim 2 wherein the dissolved alkali metal salt is the disodium dipotassium salt and the diglycol ether is dipropylene glycol.
