Renol™ Fiber Colorants
Black Colorants for PET and PA Fibers
Black polyester and polyamide fibers and
filaments are used in a variety of applications,
such as automotive textiles, safety belts, apparel,
sportswear, carpets and rugs, ropes, and home
textiles.
The Renol Fiber Colorants portfolio includes
black colorants specially formulated for spun-dyed
polyester and polyamide.
They cost-effectively
meet individual requirements for both staple
fibers and filament applications and are suitable
for almost any spinning process.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2022-04/Sustainable Material Answers_ Circular Economy 2022.pdf
Due
to a lack of sorting and processing technology currently available, for example, most
recycled plastics are reprocessed and downcycled into lower-value materials like
carpet fibers; only 2% are recycled into products with a similar value to the original
product.

This can make it difficult to trace a
garment or other type of fabric product back to the
fiber manufacturer and brand owner.
Cesa™ Fiber
Tracer Concentrates are polymer solutions that
include a taggant, unique to the customer/product
line, which is incorporated into the fibers during the
spin-dyeing process.
Cesa Fiber Tracer Concentrates
contain no hazardous raw materials and comply
with key fiber regulations.
