Dye liquor components are another area of high concentration for the chemical department. In combination with reactive ( fiber-reactive dyes) and disperse dyes suppliers, this departments continuously strives for excellence in uniformity of dye application using specialized chemistry to insure our high standard of quality is upheld. Some of these areas would be dye dispersion, levelness, fastness, crocking and both in roll and roll to roll tonality. All of which are secondary to the factory tailored formulations and procedures found within Hilos & Telas.

Another very important part of the chemical division is it ability to work with its clients to give them exactly what they are looking to market in the international marketplace. Formulation of functional finishes is just how Hilos & Telas keeps on the edge of what is new and selling.
