Introduction
As a late consequence of the Clariant Spin-off from SANDOZ all names containing
“Sandoz” need to be changed. We have taken the opportunity to make the Clariant
Textile Dyestuff World easier:
E.g. the 3 former ranges for direct dyes (Solar, Optisal, Indosol ) have been merged into
just one name Indosol and double denominations have been reduced to an absolute
minimum.
®
• Drimaren : Reactive dyestuffs for Cellulose and Wool
®
• Indosol : Direct dyestuffs incl. former Optisal and Solar dyestuffs
®
• Foron : Disperse dyestuffs
®
• Forosyn : Dyestuff blends for PES/WO
®
• Nylosan : Acid and Metal-complex dyestuffs for Polyamide
®
• Optilan : Acid and Metal-complex dyes for Wool and Silk
®
• Lanasyn : Special Acid and Metal-complex dyes
®
• Diresul : Sulphur dyestuffs (this range stays unchanged)
®
• Optisul : Solubilized Sulphur dyestuffs
On the following pages you will find our dyestuffs by range with their new and former
names and an alphabetical list with former names and new names.
