The DYKRON pigment emulsion series covers 29 shades for cotton printing, each supplied with its full fastness record across light, wash, chlorine, perspiration and solvent. Dyechem has been selecting and supplying dye chemistry since 1975 — every shade in this range is here because it earned its place in our laboratory before it was offered to yours.

Pigments
Overview
Every DYKRON shade is published with its ratings against five parameters: light fastness at standard depth, wash at 100°C, chlorine, perspiration, and trichloroethylene solvent. The data is on the table before the decision is made, not after — and the range carries REACH compliance for export markets and OEKO-TEX Eco Passport certification alongside ZDHC Level 3.
Pigment printing lives and dies on fastness. A shade that prints beautifully and then fails a chlorine or perspiration test costs the printer the order — and almost always after the goods have already been made.
Pigments
The Challenge
Most suppliers make the print house find out the hard way. Fastness figures are quoted loosely or not quoted at all, and the first real test of a pigment is the buyer's laboratory rather than the seller's.
Behaviour in the paste is the other unknown. Jelly formation and viscosity drift complicate the print paste and slow the line, and hand feel gets treated as an afterthought rather than as part of the specification.
Pigments
The Solution
The range runs across yellows, oranges, reds, violets, rubines, turquoise, blues, greens, browns, greys and blacks — including brilliant grades, a non-jelly black, and white pastes for stretch and soft-handle applications. Every shade's fastness profile is on record, so a printer matches the shade to the end-use requirement rather than hoping it holds: the deep blues, navy, grey and non-jelly black rate 7+ on light with top marks across wash, chlorine and perspiration, and the record shows just as clearly which shades to keep away from sun-exposed or dry-cleaned goods.
Application is standard and documented. A stock binder built from binder, fixer, urea, emulsifier, water and MTO, printed via silk screen, dried, and cured at 120–140°C — a method that runs on equipment already installed in any pigment printing house, with the full recipe supplied.

Performance Results
Behind the range sits fifty years of dye chemistry. Dyechem began in 1975 as a distributor for major dyeing conglomerates, and half a century of trading colour has built exactly the discipline this range runs on: spectrophotometer shade matching, in-house fastness trials for wash, light and rub, batch-to-batch quality control, and pre-bulk sample testing on the customer's own fabric before a bulk run is committed.

Overview
Every DYKRON shade is published with its ratings against five parameters: light fastness at standard depth, wash at 100°C, chlorine, perspiration, and trichloroethylene solvent. The data is on the table before the decision is made, not after — and the range carries REACH compliance for export markets and OEKO-TEX Eco Passport certification alongside ZDHC Level 3.
Pigment printing lives and dies on fastness. A shade that prints beautifully and then fails a chlorine or perspiration test costs the printer the order — and almost always after the goods have already been made.

The Challenge
Most suppliers make the print house find out the hard way. Fastness figures are quoted loosely or not quoted at all, and the first real test of a pigment is the buyer's laboratory rather than the seller's.
Behaviour in the paste is the other unknown. Jelly formation and viscosity drift complicate the print paste and slow the line, and hand feel gets treated as an afterthought rather than as part of the specification.
Pigments
The Solution
The range runs across yellows, oranges, reds, violets, rubines, turquoise, blues, greens, browns, greys and blacks — including brilliant grades, a non-jelly black, and white pastes for stretch and soft-handle applications. Every shade's fastness profile is on record, so a printer matches the shade to the end-use requirement rather than hoping it holds: the deep blues, navy, grey and non-jelly black rate 7+ on light with top marks across wash, chlorine and perspiration, and the record shows just as clearly which shades to keep away from sun-exposed or dry-cleaned goods.
Application is standard and documented. A stock binder built from binder, fixer, urea, emulsifier, water and MTO, printed via silk screen, dried, and cured at 120–140°C — a method that runs on equipment already installed in any pigment printing house, with the full recipe supplied.

Performance Results
Behind the range sits fifty years of dye chemistry. Dyechem began in 1975 as a distributor for major dyeing conglomerates, and half a century of trading colour has built exactly the discipline this range runs on: spectrophotometer shade matching, in-house fastness trials for wash, light and rub, batch-to-batch quality control, and pre-bulk sample testing on the customer's own fabric before a bulk run is committed.
Years in Dye Chemistry
Trading and testing colour since 1975
Shades in the Series
Yellows through blacks, plus non-jelly and white pastes
Fastness Parameters
Light, wash 100°C, chlorine, perspiration, solvent
Every consignment is checked before despatch under a Right First Time protocol, and field technicians attend site when a run misbehaves. Cross-industry experience across textile, leather and paper feeds solutions back into pigment printing that a single-sector supplier would not think to try.

Final thoughts
Twenty-nine DYKRON shades plus white pastes, every one published with its ratings across five fastness parameters, a documented binder recipe and cure method, REACH and OEKO-TEX compliance for export, and fifty years of dye chemistry behind the selection — fastness decided before the screen is made, not after the goods ship.
