Procion-resin process

The introduction of Calcobond dyes a few years later by American Cyanamid exploited a similar principle but incorporated the N-methylol groups into the dye molecule itself [132]. The labile chloro substituents in dichlorotriazine dyes were converted to amino groups by substitution with ammonia and the resulting melamine residue made cellulose-reactive again by reaction with formaldehyde (Scheme 7.59). A typical member of this range was Cl Reactive Red 92 (7.120). A characteristic problem of the Procion Resin process and of the...
