Archroma Launches CYCLANON® XC-W e for Eco-Efficient Dyeing
'CYCLANON® XC-W e helps mills meet rising demands for durable, high-quality garments with lower environmental impact — at comparable costs to traditional agents,' said Dhirendra Gautam, VP Global Marketing and Strategy at Archroma.
Tackling Backstaining and Uneven Dyeing
Conventional polyacrylate and copolymer agents often struggle with removing unfixed dye in saline or hard water, leading to excess rinsing and quality rejections. CYCLANON® XC-W e solves this with superior dye detachment, minimizing fiber-dye attraction and enhancing wet-fastness, even in deeper shades.
Measurable Efficiency Gains
Compared to conventional agents, mills using CYCLANON® XC-W e can achieve:
Up to 15% shorter process time
Up to 20% water savings
Up to 20% lower CO₂ emissions
Up to 20% chemical reduction
For example, a knit facility producing 10 MT/day of dyed fabric can boost output by 1 MT/day without added capacity.
Part of SUPER SYSTEMS+
CYCLANON® XC-W e is part of Archroma's SUPER SYSTEMS+ and fits into the IMPACT+ category, which signifies maximum resource savings, regulatory compliance, and durability. It can be combined with Blue Magic pretreatment and NOVACRON® EC/S dyes for a complete cotton dyeing solution.
Registrations for bluesign®, ZDHC Level 3, and GOTS 7.0 are underway, aligning with global environmental and safety standards.
