Technology Overview
Dyeing and printing technology centers around minimizing water and energy consumption, reducing chemical waste, and
utilizing eco-friendly dyes and auxiliaries. We achieve this through a combination of advanced techniques:
Principle: Utilizes inkjet technology to directly print designs onto fabric, eliminating the need for screens
or plates.
Features: High precision, intricate designs, reduced water and dye consumption, minimal waste
generation.
Applications: Fashion garments, home textiles, sportswear, technical textiles.
- Supercritical CO2 Dyeing:
Principle: Employs supercritical carbon dioxide as a solvent to carry dyes into the fabric. CO2 is
non-toxic, recyclable, and leaves no chemical residue.
Features: Excellent dye penetration, reduced water consumption, no wastewater generation, enhanced
colorfastness.
Applications: High-performance fabrics, technical textiles, medical textiles.
Principle: Uses ionized gas (plasma) to modify the surface of the fabric, enhancing its receptivity to dyes and
reducing the need for harsh chemicals.
Features: Improved dye uptake, reduced chemical usage, enhanced fabric properties (water repellency, stain
resistance).
Applications: Pre-treatment of various fabrics before dyeing or printing.
Principle: Utilizes ozone's oxidizing properties to bleach and disinfect fabrics, reducing the need for
chlorine-based chemicals.
Features: Eco-friendly bleaching, reduced water consumption, improved fabric whiteness.
Applications: Bleaching of natural fibers, denim finishing.
- Bio-based Dyes and Auxiliaries:
Principle: Derived from natural sources such as plants, microorganisms, and minerals.
Features: Reduced environmental impact, biodegradable, often possess unique color properties.
Applications: Wide range of textile applications, especially for products with skin contact.
Principle: Employs alternative solvents or dyeing methods that minimize or eliminate water usage.
Features: Significantly reduced water consumption, minimal wastewater generation, reduced energy consumption.
Applications: Various fabrics and garments, particularly in water-scarce regions.
Environmental Benefits
- Reduced Water Consumption: Minimizes water usage throughout the dyeing and printing processes,
conserving this precious resource.
- Wastewater Minimization: Reduces the generation of wastewater, lessening the burden on water treatment
facilities and protecting aquatic ecosystems.
- Chemical Reduction: Decreases the use of harmful chemicals, minimizing pollution and promoting worker
safety.
- Energy Efficiency: Optimizes energy consumption through process improvements and the use of
energy-efficient equipment.
- Reduced Carbon Footprint: Lowers greenhouse gas emissions associated with traditional dyeing and
printing methods.
