Huntsman Textile Effects has introduced a dyeing auxiliary called Eriopon E3-Save. This is a new single-bath scour-dye-reduction clear concept providing the shortest possible processing cycle for polyester thus saving time, water, energy and cost. The dyeing auxiliary is engineered to help mills achieve considerable savings in water, energy and time for the intensive process of dyeing polyester and its blends by combining pre-scouring, dyeing and reduction clearing in a single bath. Eriopon delivers in all critical stages of polyester dyeing from pre-scouring to washing-off for exceptional performance and environmental and economic sustainability. Its environmental credentials offer mills greater processing flexibility and an optimum price-performance ratio. With cutting-edge polymer technology at its heart, Eriopon can be used to successfully dye in jet applications without the need for anti-foaming products. The superior leveling of Eriopon auxiliary also increases reproducibility, allowing mills to dispense with additional leveling agents.

Huntsman is committed to an environmentally and economically sustainable textile value chain through its range of high-performance products. The demand for polyester and manmade fibers is booming as sports and athleisure apparel markets expand rapidly around the world. At the same time, brands, consumers and mills are increasingly focused on sustainability and performance resulting in raising demand for optimization of the costly, time consuming and resource intensive polyester dyeing process.
