Let’s know more About Radianza™ Fibre

Radianza™ is made with “Gel-Dyeing” Technology that makes it one of the most eco-friendly
and sustainable fibres in the world.
The technology behind Radianza™ is called Gel-Dyeing. Acrylic fibre is produced using wet-spinning process where
polymer dope is passed through spinnerets to extrude the fibre. Just after this extrusion, the fibre is neither
completely liquid nor completely solid; it is in a gel state. In this stage, there are many voids in the fibre with high
amount of amorphous content. This is the stage where gel dyeing happens during production of Radianza™ fibre
using the basic dyes. The dye is absorbed in the fibre within 4-5 seconds with close to zero discharge of unused
dye and minimum requirement of water.
Radianza™ reviewed by Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
The LCA study of Radianza™ conducted by Thinkstep shows that a sweater made with Radianza™ requires 30 litres
less water, 25 MJ less energy and 1.45 kg CO2 equivalent less Global Warming potential than the one made with
conventional acrylic and dyeing process.

Radianza™ is the only acrylic fibre that has
Material Sustainability Index (MSI) Scores.
The scores were prepared by Higg Co, using the LCA study.
Switching from conventional acrylic and dyeing process to
Radianza™ shows that:
