Archroma Showcases Eco Denim at Global Trade Shows
Archroma, a global leader in sustainable specialty chemicals, is set to unveil pioneering denim technologies at two major international fairs: Denim Première Vision in Milan (May 21–22) and Denimsandjeans in Vietnam (June 25–26). As environmental concerns over conventional denim production grow—due to its heavy water, chemical, and energy usage—Archroma is responding with cleaner, high-performance solutions. The company will spotlight its DENIM HALO system, an advanced pretreatment and dyeing innovation. This process integrates DIRSOL® RD p with Archroma's indigo, sulfur, or biosynthetic dyes, enabling mills to achieve high-contrast, distressed denim effects without altering standard dye setups. Notably, it eliminates potassium permanganate use, reduces yarn shrinkage, improves garment strength, and cuts down on water and energy use. Also featured is Archroma's Black Denim Capsule Collection, produced in collaboration with Kipas Denim and finished using Jeanologia's eco-washing technology. The collection exemplifies elevated style with responsible production, highlighting DIRESUL® EVOLUTION BLACK—Archroma's most sustainable sulfur black dye—and DENISOL® PURE INDIGO 30 LIQ, a pre-reduced, aniline-free indigo that performs like traditional indigo but with lower environmental risks. A third innovation, EarthColors®, uses non-edible food and agricultural waste to create high-performance dyes, reducing the fashion industry's water and carbon footprint while promoting circularity. These innovations aim to redefine the role of denim in fashion, offering designers and manufacturers the ability to create trend-forward looks that align with sustainability goals. Visit Archroma at:

Archroma, a global leader in specialty chemicals, has been honored at the Just Style 2025 Excellence Awards, securing wins in two major categories: Innovation Excellence for its sustainable PHOBOTEX® NTR-50 water repellent, and Environmental Excellence for its water circularity project at the Mahachai plant in Thailand. Archroma's achievements reflect its mission to foster sustainable transformation in the textile and fashion industries, offering innovations that protect the environment while benefiting brands, mills, local communities, and consumers. Dhirendra Gautam, VP of Global Marketing and Strategy at Archroma, stated, 'We are committed to developing cleaner, longer-lasting innovations that directly address the industry's environmental challenges. These awards reinforce our focus on people-centered sustainability and inspire us to push further.' Innovation Excellence Award Archroma's PHOBOTEX® NTR-50 was recognized for its breakthrough as a non-PFAS, non-formaldehyde durable water repellent made from 50% renewable carbon (ASTM D6866 certified). Delivering strong water repellency across all fibers, enhanced softness, and durability, the product is ideal for sportswear, outdoor gear, and home textiles. PHOBOTEX® NTR-50 also offers smooth production with reduced risks like yellowing and roller build-up and can be combined with other treatments for improved wash resistance. Environmental Excellence Award The company's Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) project at the Mahachai site in Thailand was recognized for its advanced water circularity efforts. Using Gradiant's water technologies, Archroma reclaims 90–95% of its wastewater, reusing clean water and repurposing brine for industrial applications like resin regeneration and chlorine production. This reduces freshwater usage and sets a strong model for sustainable textile dye manufacturing. The Just Style Excellence Awards celebrate innovation and best practices across the global textile and apparel industry, encouraging companies to drive impactful change.
