Abstract
Acid dye stain-resistant fibers which are formed from a polyamide composition containing a mixture of a masterbatch concentrate, a fiber-forming polyamide and a polymer, the masterbatch concentrate including a carrier and a reagent having the formula: wherein Q and Z are moieties which associate with free acid dye sites in the polyamide, a is an integer from 0 to 2, b is an integer from 1 to 4, and R is an alphatic, aromatic or alicydic hydrocarbyl group. The carrier can be a terpolymer, a semi-crystallic thermoplastic polyester or plyamide having a melting point of about 235° C. or less, or mixtures thereof.
