https://www.avient.com/idea/deep-black-shades-polyester-textiles
Spin-dyeing (also known as dope-dyeing) solutions are often easier to process but don’t always reach the same jetness as bath-dyeing.
Renol deep black colorants are provided as color concentrates, also known as masterbatches, which are added to the polyester pellets during fiber extrusion in the spin-dyeing process.
