Singapore-based textile tech solutions company NTX has announced production-readiness of its waterless colouration technology NTX Cooltrans to address the industry’s drive to decarbonise and save water. The technology delivers accurate colourisation of nearly any fabric without heat, up to 90 per cent reduction in water use and 40 per cent reduction in dye use, while retaining colour fastness, hand feel and functional performance.
The news came with confirmation of Adidas, and the affirmation that the results of its first production runs will be landing in the upcoming 2022 Fall and Winter collections, the company said in a media release.
Kalvin Chong, chairman and co-founder of NTX, stated: “For decades now, our industry has been chasing the elusive goal to reduce the startling amount of water and energy required in the dyeing process of textiles. We’re proud to say that with the launch of NTX Cooltrans, we’ve finally turned the corner.”

The colouration process with NTX Cooltrans does not resemble the hot temperature dye baths that require mixing of cloth to achieve the desired output. It eliminates the tension and strain put on the materials and is suitable to use with finer, lighter and more delicate materials.
The new NTX Cooltrans technology-ready plants are compliant or exceed the rigorous guidelines restricting substances in chemical formulations which are used in the raw material and product manufacturing processes set forth by mRSL and ZDHC. Plants utilising this technology are quieter, require less energy, and eliminate the need for dangerous chemicals, making the facilities much safer and comfortable, the release added.
The company further stated that existing NTX Cooltrans production capacity in China (online since December 2020), and Cambodia (November 2021) will be expanded with the addition of a plant in Indonesia and several Vietnam facilities in 2022.
