Huntsman improves dyes for sports and outdoorwear

The new dyes provide excellent wetfastness, it says, in most cases without the need for a fixation step, making them suitable for laminated fabrics.
The dyes also exhibit excellent fastness to chlorinated water, avoiding the need for an additional chlorine fastness improver, which could reduce costs for swimwear manufacturers, says the Singapore-based group.
The dyes complement the existing Lanaset range of dyes for polyamide/elastane blends, including microfibres and the high-performance Eriofast dyes.
