Aditya Birla’s Thai Acrylic launches textile fiber

Thai Acrylic Fiber has launched a new gel-dyed acrylic textile fiber which uses less energy and water than conventionally dyed acrylics.

Gel-dyeing of wet-spun fibers is not new. But this method is supposed to give an average of 20 per cent savings in water and energy compared to conventional techniques. In addition, because there’s no need to dye at the yarn or fabric stage, the method lightens the effluent pollution load of wet processing further downstream.

Although gel-dyeing has been used before to dye tow where soluble dyes are applied to wet-spun fibers such as acrylic, the new method is even more efficient – especially when it comes to water savings.

The new fiber is a ready-to-use gel dyed product which comes in a range of vibrant colors, which is said to shorten dyeing times considerably. It is said to have good color fastness, consistency and shade uniformity. It can be blended with other fibers such as polyester or can be spun as 100 per cent.

Thai Acrylic Fiber is owned by Aditya Birla. The company is now working with a Chinese supplier to spin its dyed fibers which are being used for a range of woven blankets, sweaters and other types of high-loft knitwear in a wide range of yarn counts and gauges.
