Expanding color possibilities with dope-dyed fibers

Dope dyeing isn’t merely a process – it’s a solution that brings cost savings and color longevity to our customers’ applications in protective apparel. Unlike conventional methods such as piece dyeing, this technique is more energy-efficient, conserves water, and results in significantly lower carbon emissions. In addition, dope-dyed fibers retain their vibrant color for longer, leading to extended use of garments, and cost savings. 

Teijinconex® technology extends color range

Teijin Aramid sees color as more than just an aesthetic element; color is an instructional signal that improves awareness in hazardous environments. With our latest Teijinconex® technology investment, we are now able to replicate approximately 75% of the Pantone color range. By integrating our new range of bright, informative colors into protective wear, workplaces become safer and more efficient spaces. Whether it’s to indicate workers’ roles, level of training, or inspections due, our expanded color range breathes life into protective apparel while enhancing visibility and safety.
