DyStar, a leading dyestuff and solution provider, for the first time will use the Performance Days trade fair in Munich, which takes place next week, as a platform to showcase its innovative new products and processes, partly developed in collaboration with selected partners.

Show visitors will have a chance to participate in several workshops that allow direct interaction with the specialists from DyStar Group on environmental and technical solutions to improve efficiency and reduce waste of valuable resources.

The workshop on the Cadira Polyester module, for example, will highlight that reductions of 50% water usage and more than 40% of energy consumption are possible with optimized processing.

As a market leading supplier of high-quality water-based inks for digital printing, DyStar will present its Jettex reactive, acid, disperse and vat ink ranges that have been developed to enable digital printers to achieve digital prints with high fastness levels, outstanding depth and sustainable processing results.

Being committed to sustainability, DyStar says it will leverage on the fair to reach out to more brands and retailers with similar goals for potential collaboration in the areas of colour, colour inspiration, communication and realisation tools.

Two of the five workshops conducted per day will also highlight examples of successful collaborations that provided innovation and efficiency to the textiles industry. Experts from Lenzing will present Lenzing Lyocell, a sustainable cellulosic fibre that provides innovative solutions for workwear. Additionally, Datacolor will present the new ColorReader Pro, a new Ultra-Portable Color Measurement Tool for the textiles and apparel industry.

With a heritage of more than a century in product development and innovation for the textiles industry, DyStar also caters to multiple sectors including the paints, coatings, paper and packaging industries. The company offers state-of-the-art colour communication through Color Solutions International, as well as textile and ecology testing through Texanlab.

The DyStar econfidence programme is designed to provide assurance to textile customers that the dyes and chemicals supplied by DyStar comply with legal requirements. econfidence also provides expertise so that selected products are compliant with voluntary Restricted Substances Lists (RSLs), including those of brands and retailers. Backed up by the most extensive eco-testing program of any chemical supplier in the industry, econfidence supports long-term partnerships along the supply chain and fosters a more sustainable textile production.
