Levelen Fast Dye Method 

Levelen Fast Dye Method has been designed from the ground up to be an environmentally and sustainably sound method of dyeing polyester, that when combined with reclaimed polyester fiber provides a truly sustainable polyester product from beginning to end, and able to compete and beat natural fibers in terms of actual carbon footprint, and environmental impact.

Levelen Fast Dye Method 

LEVELEN F-DYE is a new development that revolutionizes the process for the dyeing of PES with disperse dyes.

The traditional method of dyeing polyester relies on a slow temperature gradient of 1 to 2 degrees Fahrenheit per minute heating to avoid agglomerations and achieve a level dyeing.

The Levelen system revolutionizes the polyester dyeing process by combining all necessary chemistries into Two products, and works best with a heating gradient between 9° F and 18° F rendering clean, high fastness, level dyeings Requiring minimal clean up

LEVELEN F-DYE allows to achieve good even colours even with difficult dyes or trichromies.

Levelen Fast Dye Method 

LEVELEN F-DYE acts by retaining the dyes until the dyeing critical temperature is reached, at almost 265°F (130°C), releasing them slowly when the material is physically homogeneous and with equal temperature on its surface.

LEVELEN F-DYE confers these advantages:

  •  substantial reduction of dyeing process time
  • level dyeings
  • oligomer reduction
  • energy saving
  • water saving

Levelen Fast Dye Process Factory Compatibility

Will the Levelen Fast Dye Process work in my Factory?

 In most cases the answer is a resounding YES, however there are details that need to be reviewed to ensure the factory equipment, and infrastructure are compatible.
