Frequently Asked Questions

Which Luengo Color colorants are suitable for textile dyeing and printing?

Luengo Color's Luengoprint L range consists of dispersions of organic and inorganic pigments free from binders and resins, designed for textile dyeing and printing processes. They offer high reliability and excellent colour reproducibility, and are compatible with virtually all textile application systems on the market. They are also suitable for technical textiles, home textiles and automotive textiles.

Do Luengo Color's textile colorants meet certifications such as OEKO-TEX or GOTS?

Yes. A selection of products from the Luengoprint L range is suitable for certification under OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100, GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), ZDHC (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals), bluesign and The List. This makes them the right choice for manufacturers producing clothing and textiles to sustainability standards or exporting to markets with demanding regulatory requirements.

Are Luengo Color's colorants suitable for finishing leather and tanned hides?

Yes. The Luengoprint W range is developed for the pigment-based leather finishing industry. Its products offer high coverage of natural defects in the hide (poor grain), work in both cationic and anionic systems, contain no heavy metals or plasticisers that could interfere with finishing products, and are suitable for dosing with automatic machines. The colours can be combined in any proportion to achieve the exact shade required.

Do textile colorants withstand washing and normal conditions of use?

Pigments in the Luengoprint L range have high thermal stability, ensuring that shades do not change with the temperature fluctuations typical of production processes. Wash fastness and end-use fastness depend on combining the pigment with the appropriate fixing binder. Luengo Color's technical team can advise on the optimum formulation for each type of fabric and process.
