Today’s lifestyle, fashion trends and concern for health and environment have raised the demand for colourful wear with very high fastness properties. TERASIL®W-EL is an innovative and unique range of disperse dyes which achieves the highest wash fastness on polyester/elastane blends through reliable process and outstanding performance.

This practice proven dye range excels with its brilliant build-up. Already at 125°C, the build-up and exhaustion is outstanding. Small variations in time and temperature do not cause differences in exhaustion, making for excellent reproducibility which equates to right first time. All of this over the full colour spectrum. Colours, however are only as good as they last, and one of the latest innovations in the TERASIL® W-EL dye range, based on innovative phtalimide azo chemistry, supports achieving fantastic wash fastness even under severe washing conditions. The process to achieve these results is simple and reliable as dyeing at only 125°C for a minimum time avoids damaging the elastane for better quality and greater comfort.

For the huge sportswear market, where colour and fastness demands are enormous, TERASIL®W-EL is the disperse dye range that delivers. With its simple and reliable process dyers now have the ability to ensure that they can offer a wide range of colours in very good quality; Fastness that meets the highest requirements; Super reproducibility and thanks to excellent build-up and minimal fibre damage there are fewer complaints and higher profits.
