Air-flow dyeing is a new eco-friendly fabric dying technology that uses less water and energy than traditional methods. The process is also gentle on fabrics, so they retain their quality and color longer.

Textile wet processing Industry is one of the highest water-consuming industries. 17-20% of today’s industrial pollution is the result of the textile coloring treatment, contributing to 72 toxic chemicals in water supplies, 30 of which are permanent processes. To reduce these water contaminations, a new technology called “Air-Dyeing” has been introduced. The Air-Dyeing uses 95% less water and 86% less energy than conventional fabric dyeing processes. While 10% of the conventionally-dyed fabric is damaged during the production process, only 1% of Air-Dyed fabrics are damaged during air-dyeing and no post-treatment or finishing is required.
