Dope dyed yarn is an environmentally friendly and efficient innovation in the dyeing process.
Unlike conventional dyeing in which yarns are usually knitted or woven into fabrics and then dyed as a whole, dope dyed yarns are the opposite. As the name suggests, the yarn itself is dyed into a pre-selected color and then used to make the desired fabric.
Advantages of dope dyed yarn
Environmental protection
Dope dyed yarn can significantly reduce pollution in the production process.
Efficient process
Directly dyed yarn can save the time normally reserved for laboratory impregnation during the order process.
Excellent color fastness
Since the colorant is added before knitting, the fiber is completely impregnated with pigment.
Dope dyed yarn
Coloring of fibers and filaments before knitting
Due to the avoidance of the dyeing process, the delivery time is shorter: the buyer knows the color accurately before placing the order
Excellent color fastness, resistance to multiple washings, very suitable for bright colors, anti-ultraviolet fading
Do not use water in the dyeing process, reducing chemicals and carbon, and low energy consumption
Piece dyed
Weave fibers and filaments first, and then color them to provide more color options
Since the color needs to be verified by laboratory dipping first, the lead time is longer
Color fastness depends on the material used and other factors, but it is usually worse than the original solution dye
Production is not environmentally friendly, with high consumption of water, carbon dioxide, chemicals and electricity
