Fabric dye maker DyStar Textilfarben GmbH introduces the classic cold pad batch dyeing process (cpb) has undergone significant changes since its development during the early sixties and is a culmination of good co-operation between dyestuff producer, dyehouse and machine manufacturer.
In addition, leading retailers such as Marks & Spencer have provided challenges in respect of new fabric constructions, emerised fabrics and fastness requirements which have given impetus regarding this specific dyeing technology.
In this review we will demonstrate the importance of reactive dyestuff diffusion and its significance in producing a superior fabric with better wash and wear fastness performance on both non-surface finished and emerised material.
The global market demands are supported by the use of the cpb processing. The key factors are continued pressure on cost, improved quality (both appearance and fastness) and reduced lead times in the global textile supply chain.
These requirements combined with shorter production runs – due to reduced lead time or multi-phased fashion seasons – means the dyehouse must be capable of excellent lab to bulk transferability. These market needs are combined with new fabric constructions and fibre blends which can be dyed by the cpb process.
Today's cpb process could not have been successfully developed further without the combined approach of many participants in this technology. DyStar as a leading textile solutions provider is working together with the market-leading machine manufacturers, e.g. Küsters, to provide optimised conditions for dyestuff application and control with one target: to achieve Controlled Pad Batch Technology.
