A series of monoazo disperse dyes derived from naphthalimide containing butyric acid has been applied on polyamide fabrics. The build up and dyeing properties of these dyes such as leveling property, wash, light, perspiration for alkaline and acidic conditions, and rubbing fastnesses on polyamide fabrics have been investigated. The results showed that the applied dyes are capable of producing red to bluish red hues on polyamide fabrics. Because of the presence of both carboxylic acid and hydroxyl groups on the molecular structure of Dye 3, it showed desired and more strength in respect to other used dyes. Comparing the build up of these dyes to commercial dyes such as disperse red 60 and disperse red 73 revealed that most of the used dyes have higher build up in comparison to the commercial ones. Measurement of fastness properties of dyed samples indicated that they have good wash (4-5), rubbing (4), perspiration (4-5), and heat fastnesses (4-5) and they possess less than moderate light fastness (3-4) on polyamide fabrics.
