Huntsman Textile Effects has extended its range of high-performance Terasil dyes to now provide exhaust dyeing of polyester, polyester-and-cotton blends, and microfiber-and-elastane blends.
The new Terasil TC disperse dyes allow mills to improve plant efficiency and productivity. Singapore-based Huntsman said demand for polyester is outpacing other fibers, with some industry reports suggesting a growth rate of more than 5 percent year-on-year for the next five years. The cutting-edge Terasil TC range was developed to help mills meet this demand in an economically and environmentally sustainable way.
Terasil TC dyes exhibit strong application properties and are highly compatible, with high standards of leveling performance and reproducibility. They provide minimum sensitivity to reduction, good fastness to dry heat, good pH stability, good coverage of barriness, or dye diffusion, and minimum staining on adjacent cotton fiber. These properties help mills improve efficiency and productivity to minimize rejections and achieve a higher return on investment.
