Sarla Performance Fibers Limited (formerly known as Sarla Polyester Limited) is a 100 percent EOU engaged in the manufacturing and export of polyester and nylon textured, twisted and dyed yarns, covered yarns, high tenacity yarns and sewing thread. Beginning as a manufacturer of commodity yarns, the company has successfully shifted its focus and established itself as a manufacturer of specialised and higher-value-added yarns. SPFL’s strength lies in customising the product as per each individual customer’s requirements and specifications. In terms of the green fashion world, SPFL’s release of Dope Dyed Nylon Yarn has made waves in the eco-friendly garment sector.
The term sustainable fashion (also referred to as green fashion) describes eco-friendly clothing in its design, production, distribution, and use. The production process is where eco-friendly materials like dope nylon yarns are introduced. Master batch colorants are added to the polymer melt in spinning to create these yarns, replacing the dyeing process found in industries.
There are numerous environmental benefits of using dope dyed yarn; here are some of them:
- Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 62 percent
- Increases water conservation by 89 percent (compared with cotton grown for planting)
- As the process becomes shorter and less waste is generated, it saves chemicals up to 63 percent. The result is a substantial reduction of the environmental footprint of the final product and a direct saving on production costs
In addition to being environment-friendly, dyed nylon fibres are also economical, have a superior wash, are sweat-resistant, and require less time to produce. The nylon yarns which are dope dyed have characteristics like:
- Stable colour fastness
- High usage, great crimp shrinkage and elastic recovery
- Strong wearability, lightproof and washing fastness
- Price is competitive
- Could be produced in multiple colours
