Washing of coloured fabrics causes dyes/colourants leaking and consequently the dyes/colourants transfer between fabrics being washed. The current solution is hand-sorting into like-coloured groups before washing, but it is time-consuming and inconvenient. The solution from the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy represents a unique solution for fast removal of the dye, it works in all working temperatures, it is a green product (biodegradable and reusable), but also multifunctional as it is colour catcher but also fabric and water softener, standalone product, without the need for additional carriers, as well as optical brighteners for fabrics and antimicrobial agent, produced in energy efficient way.
The Innovation Fund supported the patent filling, design and 3D printing of the product and the production of the promotional video.
