Since the 20th century, since the 70's, polyester textiles in the automotive market has made impressive development, has become an important vehicle interior material products. The average annual per car will be used to do 8 kg of polyester interior, mainly used for seats, instrument panels, roof and so on.
It is estimated that 80% of the polyester dye staining or in need of need made by weaving yarn dye staining. Used in automotive interiors worldwide each year total more than 350,000 tons of polyester dyeing.
As the sun on the impact of automotive interior materials, automotive fabric dyeing challenge, the challenge is greater than ordinary fabric dyeing. In an increasingly globalized, competitive, customers increasingly demanding world, car manufacturers, designers face a difficult task: it is necessary to introduce new in the market to attract the eye, but also to ensure the quality of their products performance mm not less. To do this, designers use a combination of different materials, to improve the appearance of automotive interior materials, and also to maintain the consistency of color between materials. For example, car seat leather and textile components, or between the parts and masterbatch dye staining dye to maintain color consistency between components. Combination of all these materials to use in the car within the cycle must ensure color consistency.
The same time, automobile interiors will have different thickness combinations, the combination of different types of new fibers, a wide variety of material combinations were also stained face a series of challenges. Dye industry to face all the relevant requirements summarized in the following two points: the color consistency, and meet all testing requirements.
To be selected for products, need to meet the following properties: there is no metamerism phenomenon; heat transfer stability and photodegradation high stability.
Clariant automotive products are specially developed for automotive applications. Clariant focus on the development of light can withstand high temperature aging of the dye, while meeting the high standards of sunshine and high temperature light fastness requirements, their attention to the high temperature stability and lightfastness of dyes degradation aspects. Clariant also for the dyes must be plastic, and leather dyeing masterbatch have no metamerism phenomenon, launching a new range of products.
Clariant screened for a new car fabric dye series FORONRAS-3L series, a total of five dye composition. FORONRAS-3L Series is a set of market-leading high light, high temperature sun disperse dyes, dye has the following characteristics: very high light fastness, suitable for alkaline dyeing, sublimation fastness, dye transfer is good, available in color, bright shade and so on. To make Clariant dye chromatography auto complete, they also provided additional dye color to fight a more perfect color.
FORONRAS-3L Series is a group of high-temperature aging of the dye sun, heat transfer, high stability, is the photochemical degradation. In order to successfully avoid the one hand, sun and high temperature aging, as well as to be able to pass the OEM's test, Clariant has developed to protect fibers and dyes from UV damage. Clariant's FADEXR series is the market leader in UV-protective agent, particularly suitable for dyeing. May improve the light fastness, high dyebath dispersion stability, storage stability is high.
FORONRAS-3L Series dyes and FADEXRF, ECS and ECP additive, so that downstream manufacturers can obtain the leading UV and dispersion stability, such a combination is very suitable for package dyeing, ultra-fine fibers and other new polyester blend fabric dyeing.
Help to increase production flexibility and reproducibility. Through the help of complementary color dye, the fight will be greatly enriched chromatographic color.
Clariant think this will greatly reduce the design limitations, to shorten development time, and ultimately reduce costs.
