SINGAPORE – A new diffusion accelerant has been released by Huntsman Textile Effects that complies with current textile industry sustainability standards and improves the dyeing performance of polyester fibres including microfibres and blends – even at low temperatures.
The new auxiliary will be especially interesting for textile mills that dye polyester–elastane blends.
The move comes in response to the growing demand for new applications of polyester fibre in categories such as athleisurewear and where current diffusion accelerants sometimes contain unwanted chemicals and require additional levelling agents and anti-foaming products that may be hazardous to people and the environment.
Kerim Oner, global marketing manager for dyeing auxiliaries at Huntsman says: “We expect this latest offering to change the way that the industry dyes polyester and blends while meeting stringent environmental standards.”
