Dr. Swapneshu Baser  in his presentation said that Deven Supercriticals, India (DSPL) has developed innovative Supercritical (SC) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) based dyeing and finishing technology that is uniquely suitable for not only man made (polyester, nylon) but also for natural (cotton) and blended textiles. Further, it uses conventional dyes (No special dyes required) and recipe as used in the conventional process, to get the desired shade BUT without use of water in dyeing process. This innovative process shows improved dye utilization, makes scale-up easy and has less than half dyeing time vis-a-vis prior-art SC CO2 based dyeing processes. There is no need for reduction clearing for polyester, cotton with no salt, urea added, dyes blends in a single step, reduces overall auxiliary chemicals. Thus substantially reducing the pollution, water and energy load. This has truly made the SC CO2 technology viable, versatile and very efficient.
