As committed leaders in driving innovation and sustainability for the textile industry, Huntsman Textile Effects and DyeCoo Textile Systems are joining forces to develop and grow Supercritical CO2 textile processing technology.
This spells good news for the industry as the joint collaboration is set to create more sustainable products which will benefit the industry as a whole.
By using recycled carbon dioxide as the application medium, DyeCoo’s innovative technology completely eliminates the use of water in the textile dyeing process. This new technology requires innovation in dye and chemical products as the applications expand in order to obtain the high level of colour fastness and performance that consumers demand.
Commented Mr. Steve Gray, Global Vice President of Research and Technology at Huntsman Textile Effects: “Our track record in innovation, sustainability and quality underpinned by our global presence puts us in a great position to support this emerging technology. We believe that this technology has the potential to revolutionise textile manufacturing, and we are excited to partner with like-minded and progressive partners like DyeCoo to make sustainable dye and chemical innovations more readily available throughout the industry. This collaboration is a reinforcement of both companies’ long-term strategy and deep commitment to innovation and sustainability.”
