Garmon presents the new OVD dyes collection

Garmon Chemicals takes another leap forward and introduces in its offer the new OVD dyes collection. Showcased for the rst time at the Dutch denim expo, the range includes 22 direct dyes reaching extraordinary color effects. A versatile line, offering signi cant advantages both in terms of sustainability and saving of resources.

At the Kingpins Show Amsterdam, the brand new range of direct dyes delivers shades of style and brings garment dyeing processes to the next level.

This new proposal makes the most of Garmon unique know-how on garment  nishing, to broaden the perspective while offering a complete range of solutions. The result is a product range of superior quality aimed at satisfying requests from the most demanding buyers.

Italian creativity, high quality and constant innovation matched with a strong commitment towards humans and the planet are the pillars guiding the new path chosen by the company. A path in which being part of Kemin Industries proves fundamental, thanks to the support given by over 100 scientists and researchers involved in R&D projects for the Group.

OVD dyes: a superior quality range, in every way

The new collection made in Garmon offers a selection of dyes with excellent dischargeability, to achieve perfect results without aesthetic compromises.

OVD dyes are used in cationized dyeing processes on garment, where surface deposition of the colour on fabric is required. They deliver amazing vintage looks characterized by high contrasts on abraded areas.

Moreover, OVD dyes are pillars of conventional direct dyeing processes, where it is exploited their capability to directly dye the  ber, providing a deep and even distribution of the colour.

This new proposal combines a perfect aesthetic output with enormous advantages in terms of sustainability. When comparing conventional direct dyeing with reactive dyes (the most adopted on the market), direct dyeing with OVD dyes allows for signi cant process improvements:

  • only 5 process steps instead of 8 (on average)
  • minimum number of auxiliaries
  • lower quantity and higher performance of both dyes and auxiliaries
  • much easier corrections for final shades

OVD dyes are compliant with the international regulations and RSL of the most demanding brands. They achieve remarkable savings of resources:
