Ciba Introduces Carpet DyesSwitzerland-based Ciba Specialty Chemicals has introduced ERIOFAST
reactive dyes for the carpet industry. Ciba claims the dyes offer outstanding wet-fastness
properties, even when subjected to repeated shampooing and washing at temperatures of 140°F. The
dyes are suitable for dyeing solid shades or for direct, displacement, resist or spray printing
applications on polyamide carpet styles. The line contains three trichromatic metal-free dyes that
are fully compatible with one another.
