Waterless Systems for Textile Dyeing

Bench-top System with Color Matching

Applied Separations and eCO₂Dye have 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.

In addition to the supercritical fluid systems for waterless textile dyeing, the Applied Separations / eCO₂Dye team has also developed additional technology to support your dyeing operations:

• 60 - 90 minute dyeing cycle depending on color
• Selection of disperse dyes that work well in our process. Create a palette of colors with these dyes.
• Color database for your use
• Use color match capability
• Dyed polyester meets AATCC tests

Visit the textile dyeing section of the Applied Separations site, and the eCO₂Dye site for more information.

Dye Textiles Without Water? How is that possible?

Water, water, everywhere, but not enough to drink, as the saying goes... or to use for the myriad of other things. The world is running out of water faster than people would like to admit, and industry is a large part of the problem. 

But imagine if one could eliminate water from an industrial process like, say, dyeing textiles, and still maintain the color standards that the fashion industry demands! Today, that can be done. It's possible now to use supercritical CO₂ to dye textiles without water.
