We know what good ink looks like.

We haven't just made ink; we've spent years handling the best — so we know exactly what quality looks like, and build it into every TDC paste.

About us

Chemistry for textile printing.

Tex Dye Chem (TDC) is a proud member of the Khaju Group — a textile dyes and chemicals house whose roots reach back to 1950, serving Pakistan's garment, hosiery and knitwear industries through its established arm, Khajusons.

TDC was established to bring that legacy a dedicated, specialist focus: the development and manufacture of high-performance screen-printing pastes. Backed by 70+ years of group expertise, a long-built supply network and in-house R&D, TDC stands for two things above all — consistency and innovation.

Warehousing and raw materials
Heritage & scale

Decades of supply behind every drum.

Our forefathers practised the art of dyeing and printing generations ago, and that craft grew into one of Pakistan's established names in dyes, pigments, chemicals and auxiliaries. TDC draws on that same supply, warehousing and technical base — so a specialist product is backed by a group that has delivered for the industry for over seventy years.
