Abstract

Dyeing with a dyestuff containing a metal or from a bath in the presence of one or more metallic elements, especially alkaline-earth or heavy metals, is carried out in the presence of a sequestrating agent or sequestrant. According to the invention the sequestrant is a derivative of a phosphonic acid having no effect on the physical-chemical characteristics of the dyestuff which is used and is preferably a salt of a hydroxy-lower-alkane-phosphonic acid.
