Diresul®RDT
Pre-reduced sulfur dyes with minimal sulfide content. Suitable for more ecological dyeing solutions in yarn (denim), continuous and garment dyeing applications.
Can we create elegant wash-down looks that work everywhere and last longer?
What we love:
- A deep colored garment
- …that doesn’t fade in the wash
But did you know?
- Elegant wash-down effects on medium dark shades require two dyeing processes to get both the color intensity and the washed-down contrast …which leads to significant consumption of water and energy
- Lighter wash-down effects can be obtained in a one-step process, but tend to fade in the laundry …making our clothes less elegant and thus less versatile
