CATIONIC DREAM

Can I have twice the colors and still use less resources?

WE LOVE:

BUT DID YOU KNOW?

Creating bi-color effects requires to blend a regular polyester fiber with another polyester fiber (called cationic dyeable polyester or CDP) into one woven fabric
These fibers react with different dyestuff types that usually need to be applied in two steps…
…using a lot of time, energy and water in the process

SAFE – IT’S OUR NATURE TO PROTECT
A solid core: Our deeply rooted goal to protect people and our planet.
Safe to use, safe to release, safe to touch and wear.
EFFICIENT – IT’S OUR NATURE TO RETHINK SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING
Innovating application processes that minimize resources and maximize productivity, both in our and our customers’ manufacturing as well as by setting ourselves ambitious sustainability goals.
ENHANCED – IT’S OUR NATURE TO ADD ANOTHER LEVEL OF VALUE

Innovation is critical. With it, we create additional effects, functionalities and aesthetics and sustainable differentiation to bring additional value, helping consumers to achieve their goals, for a life enhanced.
