Manufacturing is at a turning point, sustainability has become a key parameter to be considered due to the accelerating climate crisis and as a consequence the **demand for sustainable materials** has been exponentially growing those past few years. In the advanced materials sector, the petroleum-based materials (e.g. carbon fibre) are becoming increasingly problematic as their environmental impact doesn't align with the market demand and the government targets. **Green alternatives are required, but low-impact materials' performance can often be under** what the industry expects in terms of performances. Additionally, those materials will need to undergo a colouring process as part of most manufacturing in most manufacturing processes which will weaken furthermore their properties as the current methods (e.g. dyeing or painting)**Hypetex**; a world-leading provider of colouring technologies for advanced materials UK-SME, with patented fibre technology is harnessing world-leading engineering and manufacturing capabilities to provide ground-breaking solutions that add colour to advanced materials, removing the need for painting. **Hypetex's** vision is to unlock the benefits of advanced materials in several different industries through innovative colouring solutionsAfter having conducted initial Proof-of-Concept (PoC) development and sample testing, **Hypetex** has established an R&D roadmap to reach the MVP stage through this project. This project activities will focus on optimising and validating **FlaxTex** technology, a colouring solution for natural and sustainable fibres that will unlock sustainable models for the wider manufacturing industry. With its revolutionary colouring solution, **Hypetex** will be paving the way of the green transition within the advanced material sector.

制造业正处于一个转折点，由于气候危机的加剧，可持续性已成为一个需要考虑的关键参数，因此，对可持续材料的需求在过去几年中呈指数级增长。在先进材料领域，石油基材料（如碳纤维）正变得越来越成问题，因为它们对环境的影响与市场需求和政府目标不符。** 需要绿色替代品，但低影响材料的性能往往低于 ** 行业在性能方面的预期。此外，这些材料将需要经历着色过程，作为大多数制造过程中的大多数制造的一部分，这将进一步削弱它们的性能，因为目前的方法（例如染色或喷漆）**Hypetex**;世界领先的先进材料着色技术供应商UK-SME，凭借专利纤维技术，利用世界领先的工程和制造能力，打破了为高级材料添加颜色的解决方案，消除了绘画的需要。**Hypetex ** 的愿景是通过创新的着色解决方案，在几个不同的行业中释放先进材料的优势。在进行了初步的概念验证（Proof-of-Concept，缩写为EPD）开发和样品测试后，**Hypetex** 已经建立了一个研发路线图，通过这个项目达到MVP阶段。该项目活动将专注于优化和验证 **FlaxTex** 技术，这是一种天然和可持续纤维的着色解决方案，将为更广泛的制造业开启可持续模式。凭借其革命性的着色解决方案，**Hypetex** 将为先进材料领域的绿色转型铺平道路。
