Accelerant will change the way the industry dyes polyester, Huntsman says
07/09/2018
Its view is that demand for polyester and manmade fibres is booming as sports and athleisure apparel markets continue to expand around the world. At the same time, Huntsman has said, brands continue to focus on sustainability. “This is putting pressure on mills since the current industry standard involves chemically active diffusion accelerants that contain unwanted chemicals and require additional levelling agents and anti-foaming products that may be hazardous to people and the environment,” it explained.
It has developed Unavidine E3-3D specifically to meet these challenges, it said. Global marketing manager for dyeing auxiliaries, Kerim Oner, said: “We expect this latest offering to change the way the industry dyes polyester and blends.”
