<strong>to</strong> bireactive dyes<br />

Case illustration:<br />

Degree of fixation for reactive<br />

dyes with a fixation<br />

degree at 60% for each reactive<br />

group: monoreactive<br />

dye-stuff 60%, bireactive<br />

dye-stuff 84%<br />

Concept Until recently, monoreactive dyes have been dominating in <strong>the</strong> category of<br />

exhaustion dyeing in Denmark. These dyes are utilized at approximately 60%,<br />

i.e. 40% of <strong>the</strong> dye ends up in <strong>the</strong> waste-water. Bireactive dyes on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

hand are utilized 90-95%, so <strong>the</strong> dyeing companies should have incentive <strong>to</strong><br />

investigate <strong>to</strong> what extent a change could take place. Also a possible substitution<br />

of vat dyes by bireactive dyes in dyeing of cot<strong>to</strong>n should be considered.<br />

Improvement potentials Reduction of environmental impacts. Chemical savings.<br />
