Ingredient Safety Information
Dye Transfer Inhibitor (DTI)
Dye transfer inhibitors (DTI) are used in detergents to prevent redeposition of free dyes onto textile. As a result, textiles keep their original color and whites stay white, even after multiple washes.
They are moderately high molecular weight (1000 g/mole) and very water soluble. DTI are poorly biodegradable compounds.
Acute toxicity values for algae, invertebrates and fish are above 100 mg/L with data for fish greater than 1000 mg/L. This indicates that DTI polymers are not harmful to aquatic organisms. Toxicity to invertebrate living in sediments (Chironomus tentans, larval stage) showed an acute toxicity value greater than 1000 mg/kg.
