By the slow stepwise heating up of an aqueous suspension of the crystallographically amorphous dye of the formula ##STR1## which dye is unstable to dyeing, to a temperature of 90.degree.-100.degree. C. with a halting point at 40.degree.-60.degree. C., this dye can be transformed completely into the crystalline .alpha.-modification. The novel dye modification can be easily converted, without increase of viscosity, into thinly liquid formulations which are readily pourable, which form no sediment, and which are excellently suitable for producing printing pastes, for example for printing polyester fabric. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1. A modification of the dye of the formula ##STR3## which modification is stable to dyeing and is characterised by the X-ray diffraction pattern (CuK-. alpha. -radiation) with the characteristic reflexes shown in FIG. 1, and by the d values of the interplanar spacings, calculated from the diffraction pattern: d [A]: 11. 5 (s), 6. 8 (vs), 4. 71 (s), 4. 17 (s), 3. 60 (s), 3. 49 (s), 3. 44 (vs), 3. 34 (vs) and 3. 21 (s). 2. A process for producing the . alpha. -modification stable to dyeing according to claim 1, which process comprises heating the crystallographically amorphous dye of the given formula in an aqueous suspension for 1 to 20 hours at a temperature of between 20. degree. and 100. degree. C. in a manner ensuring that the dye particles do not melt. 3. A process according to claim 2, wherein the amorphous dye of the stated formula is gradually heated to 90. degree. -100. degree. C. , with a halting point at 40. degree. -60. degree. C. , and a heating rate of 0. 1. degree. -1. degree. C. per minute, the period of time at the halting point being 0. 5-2 hours, and at the final point 0. 5-5 hours. 4. A process according to claim 3, wherein the halting point is at 50. degree. C. and the heating-up rate is 0. 4. degree. -0. 7. degree. C. per minute. 5. A process according to any one of claims 2-4, wherein as starting material there is used directly the aqueous coupling suspension occurring in the production of the amorphous dye. 6. A process for dyeing and printing synthetic or semi-synthetic fibre materials by the use of printing pastes obtained by application of the . alpha. -modification of the azo dye according to claim 1, which modification is stable to dyeing.
Description:
The present invention relates to a novel crystallographic modification of the azo dye of the formula ##STR2## which modification is stable to dyeing and is characterised by the X-ray diffraction pattern with the characteristic reflexes, taken with CuK-. alpha. 1 radiation and shown in FIG. 1, and by the d values of the interplanar spacings, calculated from the diffraction pattern, whereby in the following only the lines of very strong (vs) and strong (s) relative intensity are taken into account: d [A] 11
