Archroma will be presenting its innovative and sustainable solutions for denim and casual wear manufacturers and brands at Colombiatex 2019 in January. Both of Archroma’s most established and innovative technologies will be presented to create authentic and dazzling denim looks in a more sustainable and responsible way:
Denisol®, bringing indigo back to its roots – now aniline-free*
Archroma’s Denisol® range is a newly developed pre-reduced liquid indigo solution that manufactured in Archroma’a award winning “zero liquid discharge” manufacturing plant in Pakistan.
Denisol® Indigo 30 liq is compliant with major official eco-standards and requirements from retailers, brands and fashion leading companies and helps to produce fabrics suitable for current eco-labeling such as bluesign®, GOTS and C2C. Responding to demands for a non-toxic alternative to the dyes that are used for the iconic and traditional indigo blue that consumers associate with denim and jeans, Archroma just announced the new Denisol® Pure Indigo 30.
The breakthrough aniline-free* Denisol® Pure Indigo 30 which can be used together with Archroma’s dyeing auxiliaries for customized dyeing system solutions – to create cleaner denim with the purest indigo on the market.
ADVANCED DENIM, towards waterless denim dyeing
Based on the Denim-Ox and Pad/Sizing-Ox dyeing processes, Archroma’s multi-awarded ADVANCED DENIM dyeing technology, based on Diresul® RDT blue specialties, allows savings of up to 92% in water, 87% in cotton waste and 30% in energy, compared to a conventional denim dyeing process.
The technology has been adopted by prestigious brands including Patagonia and received the prestigious 2012 ICIS Innovation Award and Innovation with Best Environmental Benefit Award.
Diresul® RDT Ocean Blues, bright and beautiful
Archroma’s Diresul® RDT Ocean Blues are a collection of vibrant, ocean-themed bright sulfur blue dyes. These unique dyes and their auxiliaries bring out the best of indigo, improve workability, dyeing consistency and process safety.
