Cadira^® Polyamide

Cadira Polyamide is an environmentally friendly scour-dyeing process using DyStar’s Telon^® and Isolan^® dyes and selected Sera^® products for Polyamide, Polyamide blends and recycled Polyamide.

Compared to the conventional process that requires three separate baths, pretreament, dyeing and a modified aftertreatment can now be completed in the same bath, which in turn reduce water, process time and energy consumption considerably. Trial results observed up to 20% less electricity consumed, up to 30% less water consumed, up to 25% less steam consumed, and a reduction of up to 30% of the dyeing time.

Cadira^® Polyester/Cellulosic Exhaust

The Cadira Polyester/Cellulosic Exhaust module offers process optimization options and product offers for exhaust processing of polyester/cellulosic blends to reduce consumption of water, energy and reduce the output of greenhouse gas emission, as well as wastewater quantities and effluent load.

Recommended DyStar’s products for environmentally friendly exhaust processing of polyester/cellulosic blends include Dianix^®, Levafix^®, Remazol^®, Indanthren^®, Sirius^® dyes and Sera^® auxiliaries are suggested for dyeing and aftertreatment.
