40/1 PROTEX-C 85% KL Black Dope Dyed 15%

Hello everyone!

This time, we're introducing a gray melange yarn using PROTEX-C and Kanekalon black dope dye.

Here it is.

This is a blended yarn with 85% PROTEX-C and 15% Kanekalon black dope dye.

When used in apparel, it's often described as giving a relaxed, not-too-formal, and mellow impression.

It's a very classic gray color, neither too dark nor too light.

The Kanekalon black dope dye used here actually has a sustainable element.

In fact, dope-dyed yarns, not just Kanekalon black dope dye, are sustainable materials.

Basically, coloring fibers requires dyeing.

While dyeing is often done after the yarn or fabric is made, this requires a large amount of water.

The dyeing process itself, as well as the washing process after dyeing, requires attention. Furthermore, the water containing the dye becomes wastewater and requires treatment.

In the case of dope-dyed yarn, color is achieved by mixing pigments into the fiber raw material.

Imagine mixing in colored chips to add color.

Therefore, it's possible to add color without consuming large amounts of water.

Also, because the raw material is colored, it has good colorfastness, offering the advantage of stable and long-term use.

Furthermore, dyeing yarn or fabric requires raising the temperature.

Heating large amounts of water requires considerable energy, so dope-dyed yarn is a sustainable material because it reduces this energy consumption.

While dope-dyed yarn has disadvantages such as difficulty in fine-tuning the color and larger production lot sizes, we hope you will consider it as one of your criteria when choosing products.
