ITOVAT dyes applied on cellulosic fabrics such as cotton or linen show outstanding fastness characteristics.
ITOVAT dyes are especially suitable for home furnishings, work wear and service uniforms as well as for parasol and tenting textiles.
ITOVAT dyes can be separated into three different classes all with individual dyeing characteristics dependant upon dyeing temperature, vatting method and salt, caustic and hydrosulphite levels.
