For Huntsman Textile Effects – a leading global provider of high-quality dyes, chemicals and digital inks – sustainability, innovation and collaboration have always been an integral part of their product and service offerings.
Since 1997, Huntsman has long been a strong advocate for the shift away from after-chrome dyes. With the introduction of LANASOL® CE dyes, it will provide the industry with a sustainable alternative to after-chrome dyes for wool. Achieving sustainability and performance are on the radar of leading brands and retailers; hence it is important for mills to adopt an optimum wool dyeing solution that is aligned to ZDHC Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (MRSL) standards.
Chrome VI, which includes Dichromate, is banned in the ZDHC MRSL List and therefore wool processors that have adopted ZDHC MRSL standards need to act quickly to finalise their chrome replacement developments.
LANASOL® CE dyes provide a consistent, dependable and importantly, safe, dyeing process that can effectively substitute chrome dyes for wool.
Outperforming traditional after-chrome dyes at each level of dyeing and processing, LANASOL® CE is a state-of-the-art chrome-free dye range that allows mills to discontinue the use of after-chrome dyes.
Elaborating further, Alessandro Larghi, Global Marketing Manager for Wool at Huntsman Textile Effects, says “Our innovative dyeing auxiliaries and successful dyeing systems with LANASOL® CE provide the highest technical performance, helping customers to protect the natural beauty of wool, achieve water, energy and time savings while rendering chrome dyes obsolete.”
Having its presence in more than 90 countries and 7 primary manufacturing facilities in 6 countries (China, Germany, Indonesia, Mexico, Thailand and India), Huntsman Textile Effects is uniquely positioned to provide prompt and expert technical service for all its customers across the globe.
With LANASOL® CE, Huntsman Textile Effects continues to walk the talk by providing innovative, sustainable and performance-driven product solutions to help champion a sustainable textile industry.
