COLOURizd, a pioneer in dry textile colouring processes and Woolmark, a global authority on wool, have teamed up to introduce a revolutionary new method to colour wool and wool blends. Introduced new is the QuantumCOLOUR, a cutting-edge yarn colouring process that significantly reduces resource consumption and costs. Using just 0.5L of water per kilogram of yarn, this technology eliminates the need for bleaching, pre-treatment and wastewater discharge. This makes the COLOURizd QuantumCOLOUR a reduced resource-intense colouration process, where only the wetting agent and pigment binder system are required.
Traditional dyeing requires a variety of chemicals, including caustic soda, acids, bleach, and salts, all washed in with between 60 and 120 liters of water per kilogram of yarn. The COLOURizd™ method uses none of these chemicals, instead utilising a bluesign certified pigment and binder injected into a yarn fibre bundle. The result is a process that allows for a range of colours and supple textures. Successfully validated on 100 percent Merino wool, as well as blends with cotton, TENCEL and nylon, on a range of yarn counts from 30/2NM to 80/1NM, the COLOURizd QuantumCOLOUR pigment process meets all standards for colourfastness and durability.
