SOLUTION DYE The eco- friendly dyeing process Solution dye is an eco-friendly dyeing process that saves lots of water, chemicals and energy compared to traditional dyeing. In the process, the dyeing is carried out by adding the color pigments to the spinning solution prior to the fabric weaving. As a result, the pigments become an integral part of the fiber, offering superb color fastness. Compared to traditional dyeing, Solution dye uses 75% less water, 67% less chemicals and 39% less energy. The Bib fabric Sustainable techno-fabric made with Econyl® - 100% regenerated polyamide fiber from post-consumer materials - which, when tested in real life conditions proved to be two times more resistant to chlorine, suntan creams and oils than competitors’ fabrics; these amazing results are achieved thanks to its innovative construction and to the presence of LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™. 86
