The present disclosure relates to methods and compositions used therein to dye via a bifunctional diazirene compound high-performance textiles including para-aramid (polymers of co-polymers), ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), or nylon as filament yarns and/or spun yarns of fibers or fiber-blends thereof and in a manner more quickly and more environmentally friendly.

The present invention relates to the use of reactive colourless and metal-free protein cross-linking agents for the cross-linking (tanning) of protein-containing substrates, said agents are environmentally friendly and give an improved fixation yield, a long-term cross-linking (tanning) stability and good washing off properties. The present invention further relates to processes for the cross-linking (tanning) of protein-containing substrates thereby creating an environmentally friendly process which minimizes the use of chemicals and further improves the quality and efficiency of the tanning and dyeing process. ##STR00001##

A reactive digital printing method can be performed with the following steps: 1) applying a primer to a fabric to be printed; (2) applying an ink containing a dye with multi-reactive groups to the fabric to be printed in step (1); (3) steaming and coloring, washing, dehydrating and shaping the fabric in step (2), to obtain a printed product. A related system with a combination of primer, a dye with multi-reactive group, printed fabric produced with the reactive digital printing method and items comprising the printed fabric can also be provided.
