Huntsman Textile Effects’ has launched Lanasol CE dyes that provide the industry with the sustainable alternative to after-chrome dyes for wool, the company reports from Singapore. Lanasol CE dyes offer a consistent, safe and reliable dyeing process that can effectively replace chrome dyes for wool. This helps mills conform to ZDHC MRSL standards and meet the stringent requirements of global brands and retailers.

Developed by Huntsman Textile Effects specifically to meet these challenges, Lanasol CE is a state-of-the-art chrome-free dye range that allows mills to discontinue the use of after-chrome dyes. According to the company, Lanasol CE outperforms traditional after-chrome dyes across the board – at every level of dyeing and processing.

As a champion of a sustainable textile industry, Huntsman Textile Effects says it has long been a strong advocate for the shift away from after-chrome dyes. Huntsman Textile Effects first introduced Lanasol CE in 1997, before the introduction of any regulation on the restricted use of dichromate.
