Nano-Dye System makes dyeing of cotton sustainable
Nano-Dye LLC’s dyeing technology, the Nano-Dye Process, has set a benchmark for exhaust dyers in cotton and cotton blend textiles with its first two continuous, mass production systems in Bangladesh with one in March and the second in May. The technology allows cotton exhaust dye jets to use no salt and exhaust up to 99 per cent of dyestuff (eliminating solid waste), use 75 per cent less water and 90 per cent less energy while yielding greater lot-to-lot shade reproducibility and consistent quality fabric in all colours.
