Renol™ Fiber Colorants Deep Black Colorants for PET Fibers The textile market, particularly in the automotive textiles, apparel, and home decor sectors, has long sought after deep black colorants that offer exceptional jetness and light fastness without incurring exorbitant costs. Textile products that undergo frequent washing also require additional attributes such as enhanced processability and superior washing fastness. APPLICATIONS • Automotive textiles and upholstery, e.g., seat covers, liners, carpets • Home textiles, e.g., sofa covers, pillows, curtains • Apparel, e.g., fashion clothing, sportswear BENEFITS • Deep and intense black coloration with high light fastness • Adapted to polyester fibers including recycled grades • Highly efficient formulation to increase processability and reduce costs • Excellent washing fastness for textile products that are frequently washed, e.g., sportswear • Can be customized to achieve the desired intensity PRODUCT BULLETIN Copyright © 2023, Avient Corporation.
