Huntsman produces a line of metal-free reactive dyes for wool called Lanasol
CE, which has been designed to replace the outdated chrome dyeing technique.
It is particularly used for the exhaust dyeing of untreated, chlorinated and
machine-washable wool at all processing stages, especially loose stock,
slubbing and yarn. Potassium dichromate, the mordant used in the after
treatment of chromes dyes have been listed by the European REACH legislation
under Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) and chromium is listed as a
critical raw material.
