Advantages
SUPRAUNO® is a versatile, viable, simple and a complete sustainable solution
No Water Used/
90% Lesser Chemicals
SUPRAUNO® uses Supercritical CO2 as the solvent for dyeing instead of water used in the traditional ways of dyeing textiles. SUPRAUNO™ also uses up to 90% lesser chemicals thus minimizing the release of harmful chemicals and dyes into the water resources promoting sustainability in textile manufacturing.
Our solution SUPRAUNO® also further has the following advantages -
-
Better dye utilization, stronger shade strength
-
Lower Dyeing Time
-
Lesser Energy, pollution (ETP) Load
Versatile
Our patented SUPRAUNO® technology has for the first time in the world, enabled the use of Supercritical CO2 for sustainable dyeing of not only Polyester but also for various other man-made and natural textiles such as Nylon, Aramid, Acrylic, Viscose, Cotton, Linen, Silk etc. and their blends.
Hence, SUPRAUNO® has made sustainable dyeing of textiles truly versatile, viable, simple and is not limited to mainly polyester, like the prior-art supercritical CO2 dyeing technologies used earlier in the world.
No Special Dyes Used
SUPRAUNO® allows the use of conventional dyes and traditional tri-chrome recipes in its dyeing operation. This helps improve the viability as no special dyes are used as in prior-art processes. Also, the expertise of Dye Masters in Dye Houses can be continued to be used just as in the case of any conventional method for dyeing.
Our innovative step of coating dyes on the surface of the fabric increases the effective surface area of the dye and thus increases interaction of dyes in SC CO2, achieving uniform & efficient penetration of the dye.
Innovative Elements of SUPRAUNO®
Inventive Step
Pre-coating of textiles, with optimum quantity of dye & auxiliary chemicals, to increase the surface area of the dyes and improve their rate of solubilization in supercritical CO2. This also improves uniformity, reproducibility of dyed shade, washing fastness & finishing effects.
Non Obviousness
We can use any pre-coating method such as inkjet printing, roller coating, spraying or similar processes for having a controlled, uniform pre-coating of the optimum quantity of dye molecules on the entire textile material to achieve a single or multi-color/ light or dark shade dyeing as well as finishing of textiles with post treatment with SC CO2.
Industrial Applicability
SUPRAUNO® eliminates major limitations of prior-art Supercritical dyeing processes available in the market. Its innovative features make it very simple, easily scalable, most efficient, economically viable and yet versatile, to truly achieve the sustainability goals of industry dealing with various types of textiles.

Economical Viability of SUPRAUNO®
Our novel, patented technology, SUPRAUNO®, is truly economically viable to implement in the industry with dyeing costs being significantly lesser as compared to conventional water based dyeing. This is possible as our technology avoids two bath dyeing for Cotton-Polyester blends and uses much lesser quantity of auxiliary chemicals, uses no salt, thus substantially reducing the pollution, water and energy load.
Similarly, SUPRAUNO® is also suitable for dyeing & finishing of various other Man-made & Natural textiles like Polyester, Nylon, Acrylic, Cotton, Viscose, Linen, Silk etc. and blends.
Thus, SUPRAUNO® is very unique in the world and can play an important role for truly accomplishing sustainable compliances by the Indian Textile Industries vis-à-vis Conventional / Traditional processes which have a negative impact on the environment & customer preferences.
