Project Overview

KBCols is sourcing and isolating natural brown, blue, green, and pink colours from micro-organisms and applying them in textiles and personal care. The bio-colours is a universal drop-in solution that can be used to dye most natural and synthetic fibers, including cotton, linen, wool, viscose, silk, polyester, ramie, and different blends.

Benefits

The colours are water-soluble and natural with excellent reproducibility and better performance /fastness parameters. Waste sources are used as raw materials to produce colours (value-added products) with numerous applications.
