DyStar To Launch Navy Chrome -Free Dye

Dye manufacturer DyStar Group will launch a navy version of its Realan dye, which provides a completely metal-free dyeing process, later this month. The dye is a replacement for mordant navy types, has a very clear, bloom shade and is free of chrome and other heavy metals. Fully compliant with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 and Bluesign approved, the launch follows that of Dystar's metal free Realan Black MF-PV dye launched at last year's show.

Other innovations shown by Dystar include new Levafix Eco range for exhaust and continuous dyeing of cellulosic, completely free of p-CA and other regularly controlled amines. In relation to digital printing for fashion, the firm's recently launched Jettex intense inks were showcased, as also the new multifunctional Evo Fin PSR finisher, which Dystar claims "sets a benchmark for moisture management on PES fabrics". At the Interdye & Printing Eurasia trade show in Istanbul's Expo Center from 12-14 March, DyStar's denim team presented its complete denim solution package with DyStar Indigo Vat 40% solution, including coatings for indigo-based jeans for new blues, Lava products for colourful denim and fashionable wash effects, and a selection of Sera and Evo auxiliaries for pre-treatment and finishing.
