Eight reactive auxiliaries that act as dye resist agents and differ in number of ionic charges and molecular weights are synthesized and their dye resist effect on wool is evaluated. The results obtained indicate that reactive auxiliary A8 exhibits the highest dye resist effect which means that an increase in the number of ionic groups and molecular weight of an auxiliary leads to better electrostatic repulsion of the dye and thus improves the resist effectiveness. The effect of the dye bath pH, salt concentration, dyeing temperature, dyeing time, and concentration of dye and auxiliaries, are also studied. The fastness properties of the dyed fabric are evaluated. The resist effect achieved with the differential dyeing technique is consistently better than that with dye resist treatments for the eight auxiliaries. When treated wool is dyed in competition with untreated wool, the latter tends to take up the greater part of the dye in the dye bath.
