33. A.D.A.M. - An Advanced Diamond Application Method The new method • DyStar's new process does avoid direct contact with Cr6+-compounds • during transportation, storage and application of mordant dyes. • A higher degree of legal certainty in relation to the longer inspection intervalaccording to EU regulations is possible • Specially equipped storage places for highly hazardous substances are avoided • The long term survival of a well proven dyestuff range like Diamond is possible • The mordant dyes reach the same human-toxicological level as metal complex dyes A process patent for the new application method has been filed. Successful production trials with the new process in combination with Diamond dyes have been carried out at Tintoria Specializzata di Sandigliano. 7Q3-2493Sl.ppt/wd
