Reactive and pre-metallized dye-stuffs

REACTIVE DYEING:

In case You need a better colour fastness we suggest asking for a reactive dyeing for your yarns. Please declare this when the order is placed. This kind of dyeing will incur a surcharge.

STRIPES:

The use of yarn for striped knitwear or any pattern for that matter which consists of more than one colour, MUST BE STATED WHEN YOU ARE ORDERING. Only then can we assess whether it is possible to guarantee the use of the selected colours together. The washing instructions and treatments which follow do not apply to this mixing of colours. No complaints will be upheld without proof of a formal request made at the time of ordering.

NITROGENOUS SUBSTANCES:

All our yarns are dyed without using nitrogenous dyestuff that can release, through fission, the aromatic amines forbidden by the German Ministry of Health on 15th July 1994 and on 20th July 1995 with decree - paragraph 2 - article 1 - according to the reading rules foreseen in the paragraph 2 of the preliminary method for the identification of the forbidden dyestuff for the textile products dyeing, as published by the German Bulletin of Health (Bundesgesundheitsblatt) n. 2 of February 1996.

TESTING LIGHT FOR COLOUR SAMPLINGS:

All our colours are sampled with the Daylight D65 lamp that corresponds to a mathematic    representation of the sun light when it is cloudy. The D65 light temperature is 6.500 Kelvin grades (normalized also in the U.V. range from 300 to 400 nm).
