From August 14 to 16, 2024, the 2024 National Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Annual Conference of Printing and Dyeing Industry was held in Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province. The conference discussed and exchanged views on the latest national environmental management policies, the R&D and application of pollution reduction and carbon reduction technologies and equipment in the printing and dyeing industry, and wastewater and waste gas treatment technologies of efficient printing and dyeing, and released the “The 17th Batch of Recommended Catalog of Advanced Technologies for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction in China Dyeing and Printing Industry”. HONGSAM® cationic dye ink was successfully selected and listed into “The 17th Batch of Recommended Catalog of Advanced Technologies for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction in China Dyeing and Printing Industry”, which is the 6th ink of Hongsam Digital selected in the catalog.

Unlike other non-aqueous solvent products, HONGSAM® cationic dye ink is a water-based environmentally friendly dye ink developed with water as solvent in strict accordance with the environmental protection requirements of textiles, which ensures the stability of the pH value and prevents corrosion of printheads. HONGSAM® cationic dye ink is with stable quality and can be stored for a long time, and it can be printed on fabrics such as modified polyester and acrylic. The colors of printed pattern are very bright, and the washing fastness and rubbing fastness have reached high technical requirements. The sunlight fastness on acrylic fabric can reach level 7. HONGSAM® cationic dye inks have 9 colors, including C cyan, M magenta, Y yellow, K black, Golden Yellow, Bule, LM light magenta, LC light cyan and Gray, suitable for printers equipped with EPSON heads, Starlight heads and other series of printheads. HONGSAM® cationic dye ink is suitable for direct printing on fabrics such as cationic modified polyester and acrylic, without pre-treatment and post-washing process, and no wastewater is generated. Digital printing is printing on demand, which can save 40-60% of ink, and the subsequent heat consumption of evaporation is much lower than traditional printing. HONGSAM® cationic dye ink printing solution is truly green printing, helping printing companies achieve high-quality development and become new quality productivity in the manufacturing industry.

Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. China is integrating the requirements of green transformation into the all-round economic and social development. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the 11th collective study of the 20th Central Political Bureau that green development is the background color of high-quality development, and new quality productivity itself is green productivity. Green productivity reflects the basic requirements of new quality productivity, meets the important characteristics of new quality productivity, and contains the power source of new quality productivity.

On August 11, 2024, the "Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Accelerating the Comprehensive Green Transformation of Economic and Social Development" pointed out: Accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation of the industrial structure. Promote the green and low-carbon transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. Vigorously promote the green and low-carbon transformation of industries such as steel, nonferrous metals, petrochemicals, chemicals, building materials, papermaking, printing and dyeing, promote energy-saving, low-carbon and clean production technology and equipment, and promote the updating of process flow. Vigorously develop green and low-carbon industries. Accelerate the development of strategic emerging industries, build a green manufacturing system and service system, and continuously increase the proportion of green and low-carbon industries in the total economy. Give full play to the key leading role of innovation in green transformation. Implement demonstration projects with green and low-carbon advanced technology, and accelerate the demonstration, application and promotion of advanced applicable technologies.

In the printing and dyeing industry, new technologies, new processes, new equipment and new materials are important tools for promoting the green and low-carbon transformation and high-quality development of the printing and dyeing industry. In 2024, the China Dyeing and Printing Industry Association organized the application for the "17th Batch of Recommended Catalogs of Advanced Technologies for Energy Saving and Emission Reduction in China Printing and Dyeing Industry", for intensifying the promotion of green and low-carbon technologies, and promoting the widespread application of advanced technologies in the industry. The application requirements are: the technical level has reached the advanced level of similar international technologies or is in a leading position among similar domestic technologies; the effects of water saving, energy saving, pollution reduction and carbon reduction are significant; the process technology is mature, economical and practical, and can be widely promoted. The application requirements include patent certificates, product identification certificates, award certificates, promotion and application certificates (user reports), product quality inspection certificates, technical reports (technical papers), etc. HONGSAM® cationic dye ink meets all the application conditions in terms of patent technology, advanced indicators, product promotion and application, etc. After review by the China Dyeing and Printing Industry Association and strict review by industry experts, HONGSAM® cationic dye ink was successfully selected into the "17th Batch of Recommended Catalogs of Advanced Technologies for Energy Saving and Emission Reduction in China Printing and Dyeing Industry".
