In June 2025, WILEYTEX announced our first ecoloration® installation in Eswatini, Africa. Today, we are thrilled to share the next chapter of this journey : Stable, high-efficiency mass production.
The transition from pilot to full-scale operation is the ultimate test for any new textile technology. We recently captured real-time footage of our ecoloration® line in action. The video below demonstrates exactly how our patented, low-water, salt-free dyeing process operates on the factory floor.
As the fabric enters the machine, it first goes through the padding process before moving into our color-development machine. In just 8-15 seconds, the color is fully built up.
But seeing is only half the story.
Based on the operational data collected over 22 days of continuous production, ecoloration® is delivering transformational results compared to traditional jet dyeing .
-90% Water Usage : Dropping from 70,000 L to just 7,000 L per batch.
-80% Energy Usage : Reducing energy consumption to 3.11 kWh per kg.
Unmatched Productivity : Achieving up to 5 times the productivity of traditional dyeing methods in a 22-day cycle.
The success in Africa is built upon the core capabilities of the ecoloration® technology. When mills adopt our system, they unlock comprehensive benefits across sustainability, efficiency, and quality.
Next-Level Sustainability
Salt-Free Dyeing : Eliminates the need for sodium chloride and Glauber's salt.
90% Water Savings : Drastically reduces the wastewater burden on local ecosystems.
80% Energy Savings : Removes steam fixation, significantly lowering thermal energy demand.
80% Reduction in Carbon Emissions : Direct contribution to corporate Scope 3 reduction goals.
Eco-Compliant Chemistry : All dyes and auxiliaries meet stringent ZDHC standards.
Breakthrough Production Efficiency
High Speed : Operates 5x to 10x faster than traditional dyeing methods.
High Efficiency : Achieves a Right First Time (RFT) rate of over 95%.
Agile Operations : Features quick changeovers between batches.
Rapid Sampling : Lab single-color dyeing is completed in just 1 minute.
Uncompromising Quality
High Consistency : Ensures stable bulk-to-bulk reproducibility with
CMC DE < 0.8.
Standardized Color Fastness : Performance is fully consistent with traditional dyeing standards.
Superior Hand Feel : Successfully retains the soft, skin-friendly texture of cotton materials.
