Who are we?

Who is Sonovia?

A textile-tech company developing the next generation of Indigo yarn dying – a sustainable process using no toxic chemicals and almost no water at all! Our technology is based on a machine (the ‘Sonata’), an ultrasonic system, and proprietary chemistry (‘tempo-indigo’).

By providing an innovative and comprehensive solution, we are reshaping the textile industry by setting new standards for sustainable, high-performance, long lasting and cost-effective production.

What is your technology process?

We utilize ultrasonic cavitation to physically embed our proprietary formulated chemicals onto cotton yarns, resulting in sustainability, high performance, and cost efficiency.

What are the main benefits of using Sonovia's technology?

85% reduction in water consumption, using only 2 small dye baths.
79% reduction of CO2 emissions, due to lower energy requirements, no water heating, and a significantly shorter process.
No pre-or post-dyeing preparation and washing required.
100% reduction in toxic chemicals by using Zero-Toxic water-based dye chemicals.
100% elimination of production waste.
Reproducible and controllable dye shades.
Simple integration into existing yarn-dye lines.
92% reduction of land use through the use of compact and efficient machinery
Elimination of large-scale waste treatment facilities.

What is the difference between Sonovia's technology and the traditional dyeing method?

The Sonovia sustainable dyeing process is lean, cost-effective, eco-friendly, and hassle-free. We use 2 small dye baths, no pre/post treatments, less chemicals, less water, less energy. Altogether we are so much more efficient.

Who is the Sonovia customer?

Sonovia’s customers are all that care for our globe, want to dye yarns in a sustainable way, and save money on the way.

Yarn dyeing mills, denim brands and retailers, can use Sonovia’s technology to improve and achieve sustainability goals faster, meeting the demand for eco-friendly products.

What do we do?

What is the science behind the technology?

We master the use of ultrasonic cavitation to effectively impregnate cotton yarns with desired chemistries.

There are many technologies for denim dyeing that claim to save water, energy, and chemicals. What sets Sonovia's technology apart?

Our SonoDye groundbreaking technology is replacing slasher dyeing rope by using only 1 dyeing bath.

Is SonoDye process is easy to add into manufacturing steps?

The SonoDye machinery is great cost-competitive, fast and easy to integrate to existing lines.

Is there a difference in color or hand-feel (touch) between the SonoDye process denim and denim dyed with traditional methods?

Extensive research, testing, and experience have led us to achieve identical results between denim treated with the SonoDye process and denim treated with traditional dyeing methods. In other words, SonoDye-treated denim offers the same color and handfeel as denim dyed using conventional techniques.

What yarn types do you use?

Our technology is currently utilized on cotton yarns of all kinds.

Does your technology work with other fibers such as polyester or wool?

We currently focus on dyeing cotton denim yarns due to the substantial market opportunity it presents. However, the technology holds promise for a wider range of cellulosic natural fibers, including linen, rayon, hemp, and jute. Our ongoing R&D efforts actively explore these potential applications.

Are there any chemicals used in the SonoDye process and are they safe?

SonoDye utilizes a 100% zero-toxic, water-based dye chemistry, completely eliminating the use of harmful chemicals. Additionally, SonoDye holds the Bluesign certificate.
