Realan Black MF-PV - A quantum leap in the dyeing of black on wool

In response to increasing ecological pressure on mordant dyes for wool, DyStar have introduced a new patented Realan Black MF-PV dyestuff.

Mordant black dyes are still widely used in the market for high quality wool goods, the most common dye in this sector being the Black PV type (CI Mordant Black 9). Until now, retailers have been unable to substitute Black PV types due to their processing fastnesses used in wool finishing (potting and X-dyeing). Even though Black PV types can be dyed without ecological and health and safety issues, textile manufacturers are pressured by retailers to avoid mordant dyes. Moreover, dyes based on CI Reactive Black 5 are unable to reach high levels of processing requirements. They are also very red under various colour sources and in addition, they provide very poor fibre coverage. Realan Black MF-PV is DyStar's perfect solution to these problems.
