New technology reduces dye time by a third, says HeiQ
Swiss textile technology provider HeiQ has launched a dyeing accelerator for polyester that it claims can lead to lower costs, less energy and water consumption and reduced carbon footprint.

It says Dyefast can save a third on dyeing time, and can be used with existing dyeing equipment without having to change recipes.

“Dyesfast assists in improving product quality and decreasing the level of rejects and waste,” said the company, adding that it provides enhanced colour levelling, reduced risk of spotting and better dye wash fastness.

HeiQ’s vice-president of marketing and sales, Lode Vermeersch, said: “A new level of environmentally sound, cost saving and quality improving dyeing can be achieved.”
