ERIONAL^® ELA is a new dyeing auxiliary, which improves the shade depth of elastane (EL) fibres in blends with PA dyed with ERIOFAST^® Black M by providing higher build up and maximum fastness on PA elastane blends.

This auxiliary’s main benefit lies in its power to support black dyeing for maximum shade depths. ERIONAL^® ELA enables the dyeability of elastane fibre dyed with ERIOFAST^® Black M. It does not require any additional disperse dyes and achieves a higher quality of the dyed elastane with no ‘Grin through,’ better reproducibility and thereby fewer reworks and complaints. Over and above that, processing is simple as it does not require any additional post-treatment such as fixing. And there are no adverse side effects such as wet fastness impairment or influence on handle or moisture management.

ERIONAL^® ELA is the simple yet most effective dyeing auxiliary for achieving truly deep shades on polyamide and elastane blends with optimum reproducibility. Its biggest advantage lies in cost savings through fewer reworks and complaints giving users a decided competitive advantage.
