Singapore-based DyStar has announced plans to open a Global Innovation Center at its China-based DyStar Nanjing Colours Co. Ltd. by the end of March 2017. The 3,000-square-meter center will comprise state-of-the-art laboratories for research and development and process technology development as well as labs for dye and chemical synthesis and a scale-up unit for small production. The company reports the facility will aim to improve dyeing processes in terms of water and energy consumption and lower wastewater and pollution. DyStar will focus on textiles, but will look to grow new markets for its products.
