GATE: Report on the Field Phase

Use of carbohydrate compounds as auxiliaries for dyeing and printing fiber materials Use of carbohydrate compounds of the formula (1)Z-G-T-R1n(1)in which Z is the radical of a carbohydrate from the series consisting of mono-, di- or oligosaccharides or of a sugar alcohol, the free valency being on a carbon atom; G is a bridge member from the series consisting of -O-, -NR5-, -O-CO-, -NR5-CO- and -NR5-SO2-, in which R5 is hydrogen or C1--C4-alkyl, which can be substituted by 1 to 4 radicals from the series consisting of hydroxyl, sulfo, sulfato or carboxyl; T is a C4-C30-aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or oiefinic hydrocarbon radical, or is C6-C10-aryl or is C6-C10-aryl-C1-C4alkylene; R1 is hydroxyl, carboxyl, cyano, C1-C4-alkyl, C1-C4-alkoxy, sulfo, C1-C10-alkylsulfonyl, aminosulfonyl, C1-C10-alkylaminosulfonyl or C6-C10-arylaminosulfonyl, C1-C10-alkylcarbonyl, ureido, C1-C10-alkylcarbonylamino, C1-C10-alkoxycarbonyl or aminocarbonyl, where the alkyl or aryl radicals can be substituted by 1 or more of the radicals OH, NH2, NO2, CN, OCH3, SO3H and COOH; n is a number from 0 to 3, where, in the case where n is greater than 1, the radicals R1 can also have meanings which differ from one another, as auxiliaries for dyeing or printing fiber materials with fiber-reactive dyestuffs.
