Meet the Fashion industry’s Color Matching Demands with CO2

eCO₂Dye, in conjunction with Applied Separations, has developed a color database which may be used in the Datacolor ColorMatch Software used with their line of Supercritical CO₂ systems for waterless textile dyeing.

Now you can use our color match capability on yarn, thread, fabric, and garments while using CO₂ to dye your fiber without water.

The eCO₂Dye system obtains excellent color matching with as many as 4 dyes, allowing users to meet the strict demands of the fashion industry.

Waterless Textile Dyeing with CO2

It's 2015 and the technology works!

eCO₂Dye, in conjunction with Applied Separations, Dingo Ltd, and Halide Group Inc, has developed a waterless textile dyeing process and equipment for dyeing. The process uses carbon dioxide as the solvent for dyeing as opposed to water as the medium in conventional dyeing.
Our Process for dyeing polyester offers the following advantages versus conventional dyeing in water

• CO₂ replaces water as the dye solvent
• Saves energy
• Uses fewer and less chemicals
• Generates practically no waste streams
• Carbon dioxide is recycled and not vented
• Reduces the number of process steps
• Simplifies dyeing chemistry
• Reduces plant footprint
• Flexibility in site location

Natural Products Extracts Without Hexane

Hexane is a commonly used solvent in natural products and essential oil extractions, but hexane has been categorized as a hazardous air pollutant by the US EPA, and is included on their list of toxic chemicals.

Despite best efforts, facilities using hexane may leak up to 6,000 pounds of hexane a day into the atmosphere. In addition, extracts will contain undesirable hexane residue. The solution: Supercritical Fluid extractions.

• No hazardous waste
• No chemical residue
• No health hazard
• Environmentally friendly

It All Starts with Coffee

Supercritical... Coffee?

After its discovery, the first large scale use of supercritical fluids in extracting natural products was the decaffeination of coffee. Since then, many industries have made the switch to supercritical fluid. Producers of essential oils are finding supercritical fluids to be an excellent replacement for traditional methods that use hazardous chemicals.

Solvent Free extracts created with supercritical fluids are found in foods, fragrances, herbal extracts, natural medicines, aromatherapy… and the list goes on.
