Diresul®RDT
Pre-reduced sulfur dyes with minimal sulfide content. Suitable for more ecological dyeing solutions in yarn (denim), continuous and garment dyeing applications.
Can my black denim jeans be made any cleaner ..?
What we love:
- Our black jeans – used for any occasion
- Stylish vintage and distressed look that can reflect our personal style in line with our values
But did you know?
- Most black denim is dyed with sulfur black
- This dyestuff - which has been around for many years – and uses a lot of resources to manufacture the dye
- which also releases high content of salts in the wastewater
