Huntsman - AVITERA Black SE Black Dye

Until now, the hazardous substance para-chloro-aniline (PCA) has been a potential impurity within reactive black dyes. Huntsman Textile Effects has now developed a groundbreaking new reactive black dye AVITERA^® Black SE to address this.

Independent analytical test institutes confirm that this innovative dyestuff is free* from restricted arylamines, including PCA, to meet increasingly stringent environmental standards. 

AVITERA^® Black SE is a solution for dyeing black shades sustainably at top performance.

It enables mills to meet the strictest environmental standards while increasing productivity and profitability:

• Reduces water, energy consumption and C0₂ emissions by up to 50%
• Low temperature, high speed wash-off performance for shortest possible processing time and highest productivity
• Minimizes process costs for increased productivity by up to 30% without additional capital investment
• Excellent for fabrics that require the highest chlorine-fastness and good light-fastness (as compared to currently available black dyes)
• Supports mills in exceeding environmental legislation targets for differentiation from competitors
• Free* from restricted arylamines including para-chloro-aniline

An extension to the award-winning AVITERA^® SE dye range, the new AVITERA^® Black SE dye meets tighter and stringent restrictions on hazardous substances in supplied products and treated textile articles, including OEKO-TEX^®, bluesign, Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals and the Restricted Substance List (RSL) standards of the world’s premier brands.
