The colourants from BioDye possess several unique features:

Dyed yarn absorbs UV-light and the inherent, life-long UV-protection quality of BioDye’s natural dyed fabric greatly reduces the scorching effect of direct sunlight, making it ideal for sports and outdoor wear.

BioDye products have high light, wash and rub fastness properties. They show fastness equal to or better than synthetic dyes.

The embedded anti-microbial agent of BioDye fabric retards bacteria from growing on perspiration and hence little or no body odour develops.

Cotton and silk fabrics can be washed in a domestic washing machine and do not need regular dry cleaning.

The skin-friendly colours and auxiliaries of BioDye fabrics ensure they are comfortable to wear. No irritating dyes and no toxic mordants – chromium, copper and tin – are employed.

The nap of the dyed fabric makes it soothing.

Users report mosquitoes do not bite through BioDye fabrics.
