OVD dyes: a superior quality range, in every way- The new collection made in Garmon offers a selection of dyes with excellent dischargeability, to achieve perfect results without aesthetic compromises. OVD dyes are used in cationized dyeing processes on garment, where surface deposition of the colour on fabric is required. They deliver amazing vintage looks characterized by high contrasts on abraded areas. Moreover, OVD dyes are pillars of conventional direct dyeing processes, where it is exploited their capability to directly dye the fiber, providing a deep and even distribution of the colour. This new proposal combines a perfect aesthetic output with enormous advantages in terms of sustainability. When comparing conventional direct dyeing with reactive dyes (the most adopted on the market), direct dyeing with OVD dyes allows for significant process improvements: only 5 process steps instead of 8 (on average),minimum number of auxiliaries, lower quantity and higher performance of both dyes and auxiliaries , much easier corrections for final shades.

OVD dyes are compliant with the international regulations and RSL of the most demanding brands.
