Introducing a waterless dyeing & finishing system

21/11/2024
In the innovation pipeline of Green Theme Technologies (GTT) for several years, the Albuquerque based company has been working with Golden Long John, a Taiwanese supplier to the footwear industry, to combine its waterless curing technology with a colouring process.

Golden Long John installed GTT’s EMPEL PFAS-free finishing platform in its Vietnamese facilities in 2023. The ongoing partnership between the two companies has led to the combination of the water-repellent and direct dyeing process developed by Golden Long John.

 “Similar to GTT’s EMPEL application, Golden Long John applies dye chemistry directly onto fabrics. We believe this is a big step forward for the fashion and textile industries,” commented Martin Flora, president of GTT Business Development.

The two companies are introducing the novel process at the Functional Fabric Fair currently on show in Portland today.
