Huntsman Textile Effects continues to make strides in the AVITERA SE range with the launch of the Light Red range. The new bluish red polyreactive dyes now feature a broad palette color spectrum in the pale shades with highest light fastness.
Continuing the success from its introductory launch in October 2010, AVITERA SE is Huntsman Textile Effects' innovative flagship dye technology for exhaust application on cellulosic fibers and is tailor-made to help businesses make real economic and environment savings.
With dyeing and washing-off processes never exceeding 60°C, AVITERA SE helps textile mills increase production outputs and significantly reduce water and energy consumption and carbon emissions by up to 50 percent. Using only five percent or less unfixed dye instead of the conventional 15 to 30 percent, AVITERA SE greatly reduces the number of rinsing baths required to obtain fastness properties.
Its high solubility also allows dyes to be applied at ultra-short ratios, ensuring much lower processing costs. AVITERA SE's outstanding compatibility and low sensitivity to dyeing parameters also gives excellent lab-to-bulk and bulk-to-bulk reproducibility, thereby minimizing reprocessing.
Huntsman Textile Effects is the global leader in developing total textile solutions across all aspects of the textile chain and is committed as the global leader in developing sustainable, high performing processing and effects chemicals that have low environmental impact with significant reductions in energy and time.
