Solution-dyed (aka. dope dyed) fabrics: sustainable textiles
The solution-dyed (aka. dope dyed) process has attracted much attention in the development of the textile industry.
Solution-dyed process:
Solution-dyed fabrics use solution-dyed yarns. During the spinning process, masterbatch colorants are added to the polymer melt to fully impregnate the fibers with pigments, which are then spun, cooled and stretched to form colored fiber bundles.
Advantages of solution-dyed fabrics:
Excellent color fastness: SIKOR-TEX's solution-dyed fabrics use a special solution polyester spinning process, and their light fastness reaches AATCC16-3, UV500 hours, level 5 standard. When used for outdoor products such as outdoor awnings, they can maintain bright and stable colors for a long time in different outdoor environments, effectively avoiding the problem of dye batch differences in traditional piece dyeing processes.
Solution dyed fabrics are super stable in color
They have strong color fastness to sunlight, and are outstanding in resisting UV fading and color change. For example, outdoor advertising fabrics can still maintain bright colors under long-term sunlight.
Solution dyed fabrics have extremely uniform color
There is almost no color difference between different batches, which is very suitable for large-scale standardized textile production such as hotel bedding and restaurant tablecloths.
Solution dyed fabrics have strong tolerance
They can withstand multiple washings and have excellent acid and alkali color fastness, and can adapt to special use environments such as hospital work clothes and laboratory protective clothing.
Solution dyed fabrics have excellent weather resistance
They can be used normally under harsh climatic conditions such as high temperature and heat, severe cold and freezing, damp and rainy, dry and windy, and have a wide range of applications.
Solution dyed fabrics are environmentally friendly and water-saving
Because the dyeing process does not use water, it greatly reduces water resource consumption and reduces environmental pollution. It is a typical representative of sustainable textiles.
Current challenges in the textile industry
Traditional dyeing processes are inefficient, and about 300,000 tons of dyes are lost to wastewater each year, seriously polluting the water ecology. At the same time, due to its large scale and numerous processes, the textile industry is one of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions.
The significance of the process
The dope dyeing and solution dyeing processes have obvious advantages in terms of environmental protection and color performance. They not only meet the needs of modern consumers for high-quality, environmentally friendly textiles, but also help textile companies cope with the pressure of environmental regulations and market competition. In the context of continuous technological progress, they will surely lead the textile industry towards a greener and more sustainable future, bringing new changes to the quality and environmental image of textile products.
