A revolutionary breakthrough in the dyeing of cellulosic fibres and its blends

Recognized by customers worldwide as a unique dyeing solution, the first generation of AVITERA® SE dyes set a revolutionary benchmark for sustainability in the textile industry.

The second generation of AVITERA® SE dyes expanded the shade gamut with brilliant elements while providing highest lightfastness and exceptional level-dyeing behavior for pale shades.
