Dyeing polyester/elastane blends at ITMA ASIA - Ciba

- High fastness and excellent dyeing reproducibility
- Processing at lower temperatures preserves fiber properties
Ciba TERASIL W-EL disperse dyes combine high performance with reliable processing.
Ciba TERASIL W-EL disperse dyes have been especially designed for dyeing polyester blends with elastane. The new dyes combine excellent fastness with maximum reliability in processing at lower dyeing temperatures.
Peter Otto, Global Head of Marketing in Ciba Specialty Chemicals' Textile Effects Segment says that polyester/elastane blends are growing in popularity, especially for sportswear, but processing them can be a challenge.
TERASIL W-EL dyes are applied in a way that minimizes problems such as loss of stretch, fabric snagging and uneven appearance.
TERASIL W-EL dyeings are highly reproducible under the usual processing conditions. The dyes have very high exhaustion and build up evenly, thereby ensuring excellent levelness and a uniform appearance. They can be easily removed from the elastane fiber, preventing subsequent bleeding and therefore ensuring high fastness.
