Alchemie is set to host an event at ITMA 2019 in Barcelona, Spain, where the company will be presenting the latest data from its breakthrough endeavour waterless smart dyeing process to brands and tier 1 textile industry suppliers. Alchemie delivers the next generation of inkjet inspired digital manufacturing technologies to enable industries of the future.

At the event, Alchemie will be demonstrating the technology and reporting key process data demonstrating exceptional wash fastness, excellent dry rub test results and colour consistency (ΔE) of less than 0.5 from polyesters dyed using the endeavour process. Alchemie will also provide a detailed end-to-end process analysis to illustrate the 50 per cent cost savings that can be delivered by switching from dyebath to the endeavour process technology, the company said in a press release.

A key feature of the endeavour process includes more profitable production. The process will reduce wastewater by more than 95 per cent and energy by over 80 per cent, delivering more than 50 per cent reduction in cost. It also eliminates wastewater. The waterless process demonstrates a remarkable sustainability advantage by eliminating post dyeing washing steps. The technology delivers exceptional results with high colour consistency and colour fastness. With throughputs of more than 2,000 square metres per hour, a single line replaces at least five dyebaths. The system can deliver any colour shade required and enables on-demand digital colour changeovers in any run length from a few metres to several kilometres. (GK)
