CHEMANTRENE DYES
Achitex Minerva Group offers a range of liquid and powder vat dyes known as Chemantrene.
With a high degree of dispersion, Chemantrene liquid dyes are suitable for printing fabrics and can be used on cotton, viscose, linen, wool, silk and blended fibres. They can be applied by direct, discharge or two-phases printing.
Powder vat dyes, on the other hand, are suitable for dyeing cellulose fibres. They are highly solid water-insoluble dyes which become soluble fibre derivates by alkaline reduction and return to the insoluble form after the oxidation phase.
The series has been created in compliance with the most restrictive certifications, such as ZDHC, GOTS and Inditex.
