Hello Yoonjo Lee,

For the past 27 years we have used Sandoz dyes and followed their
industrial procedures. The Sandoz company renamed several years ago their
dye department which is now referred to as Clariant  but they are still
part of the Sandoz mother company.

I was referred to Sandoz by Ciba-Geigy as Ciba-Geigy stated that it was
more involved in suppling pigments to the plastic and paint companies in
Canada rather than to the Canadian textile industries.

Sandoz/Clariant  has always been and still is very supportive of our needs.
They even allowed me to train and work on our CCQ projects, in their client
bassed services dye lab, in Montréal, until we purchased our own industrial
computerized dye sample machine.

Regards,


Sharon

Hello Everyone,

I'm just curious, but has anyone used Procion MX or H dyes for dyeing
support fabrics?  Dylon dyes?  If so, what are the pros and cons?  Are
there any other dyes that textilians use besides Ciba-Geigy?

Any information would be much appreciated! Thank you and Happy Halloween!
