Amphicolor™ is a waterless colour solution realised in fabric, delivering greater colour flexibility through weaving, without the high commitments typical of conventional dope dyeing. It enables broader palettes and faster approvals with predictable results, while reducing water and chemical intensity compared to conventional dope dyeing and wet dyeing.
Conventional Wet Dyeing
Resource-intensive with high water use, chemical input, wastewater treatment, and long sampling cycles.
Waterless Alternatives
Lower environmental impact but require multi-tonne commitments per colour, locking in palettes before seasonal testing is complete.
Delivers colour through weaving, validated using proprietary recipes, unlocking a broader spectrum of colours and tonal depth without early commitment.
By reducing the commitment typically required for waterless colour, Amphicolor makes fabrics viable for seasonal testing, limited runs, and design-led programmes.
Predictable colour behaviour reduces the need for repeated lab dips and sampling loops, helping teams move from concept to approval more quickly.
Colour behaviour is controlled at the yarn and fabric level, supporting reliable reproduction across runs and reducing variability during scale-up.
