Beautiful home textiles create a comfortable place to feel good and snuggle, adding colors to our daily life. Durable home textiles are equally important as more individuals are spending more time at home ever since the prevalence of the hybrid working model. Above all, the dyes and chemicals used in the manufacturing process should meet legal and regulatory requirements.
Fabrics used for home textiles consist of both cellulosic and man-made fibres, or blends of them. The ideal coloration partner for the cellulosic fibre is Levafix® dyes from DyStar®, the leading dyestuff and chemical manufacturer and solution provider.
Within the Levafix® range, there are specialty dyes that provide the solution to some of the trickiest challenges faced by the dyehouses and manufacturers:
- Able to achieve the highest available fastness levels in very bright hues
- Suitable for Exhaust, Cold Pad Batch and Continuous dyeing
- Special
features for Continuous Dyeing:
- Levafix® CA dyes are extremely stable to variations in continuous dyeing process conditions. This stability is caused by a specific chemical bond between dye and cellulosic fiber and contributes to better shade consistency and robustness in pad-applications.
- Special
properties in Cold Pad Batch application
- The recommended Levafix red/yellow/blue ternary dye combinations are highly resistant to alkaline pad-liquors. An optimized alkali system for tropical countries and a homogeneous substantivity of the dye combinations are key factors for optimized Cold Pad Batch dyeing results.
- Levafix® dyes are the perfect dye range for modern sustainable continuous dyeing processes. This applies as well to the resources saving Econtrol® process, which combines drying and fixation into one-step, as to the latest development of dyeing technology, the spray dyeing.
- Levafix® dyes and Sera® process-control auxiliaries are perfect partners for continuous dyeing.
Sera Wet wetting agents, Sera Gal M-IP 02 anti-migration agent, and Sera Fast C-RD for wash-off of unfixed reactive dyes ensure good fiber penetration and high wet fastnesses.
The Levafix® CA range is DyStar’s high-end reactive range for dyeing and printing of cotton and other cellulosic textiles. The range is designed to deliver excellent fastness performance and optimal dyeing behavior with high fixation levels.
As a leading supplier of products and services for the textile industry, DyStar invests broadly in the research and development of new products with improved properties. For more information, visit https://www.dystar.com/home-textiles
