The Chemical Technologies QUICKSTONE™ DENIM system for indigo dyeing combines chemical control of dye bath equilibrium with accurate formulas and flow rates calculated with a mathematical model of the indigo dye bath. This approach has lead to outstanding success in maximizing indigo use by enhanced ring dyeing, minimizing auxiliary consumption, and providing formulas and flow rates that allow an indigo dye bath to quickly reach equilibrium and produce consistently dyed yarns. As a result, the indigo dyer is able to easily produce a consistent value added product with better machine efficiency and reduced shade variation. The garment processor is able to significantly reduce wash down cycle times and chemical consumption. Conventional Indigo Dyed Denim VS. Chemical Technologies Quickstone™ Denim
