Germany’s DyStar has introduced the latest addition to its Levafix CA range of high-performance reactive dyes, Levafix FastRed CA. This new copper-free dye can be applied by all common dyeing methods and is said to be especially suitable for pale to medium shades. According to the company, its features include excellent reproducibility and reliable application, offering outstanding light and wet light fastness even in the presence of acid and alkaline perspiration, and alkaline or oxidative detergent residues, and it has very high fastness to repeated washing.

In common with all Levafix CA dyes, it meets the requirements of all established ecological standards: it is metal- and AOX-free, has an excellent fixation profile and is easy to wash off, thus saving processing water and energy.
