A series of seven reactive hydrophobic compounds was synthesised and authenticated. Aqueous dispersions of these compounds were prepared by milling and applied to wool by pad–dry–steam and exhaustion procedures. The extent of fixation achieved was assessed by determining the weight gain of the treated wools. Treated wool fabric was transfer printed with disperse dye papers and the disperse dye affinity was assessed both by dye yield (K/S) measurements and by determining the
