Differential acid dyeing of polyamide reacted with N-halogenating agent

摘要

A method for producing a differentially dyeable polyamide is disclosed. The method comprises selectively reacting a polyamide's free amines with an N-halogenating agent. Polyamides produced according to the process of this invention will have distinct areas thereon that show varying degrees of receptivity to acid dyes and can thereby be differentially dyed using a single dyebath.
