Clariant to show innovative solutions for denim sector

While the ”blue jeans look” is highly desirable, also for non-jeans items such as knitted garments, it is very difficult to produce specially when involving garment dyeing techniques using traditional indigo dyestuff.

Finding a way to obtain a “blue jeans” look in garment dyeing is therefore seen as the Holy Grail in the fashion industry – a Holy Grail that Clariant may well have found with machine manufacturer Tonello.

Clariant and Tonello have joined expertise and innovation to develop an exhaust dyeing process that combines the latest machine technology – “G1 N2” – with Clariant’s non-indigo based Diresul RDT Indicolors, an innovative dyeing system which responds effectively to the increasingly garment dyeing demand.

Technology meets lifestyle with Clariant’s finishing products:

Combining functionality and lifestyle is a challenge that is constantly influencing the development work of designers and brands across the world, especially when they long for eco-advanced solutions.

With Clariant’s innovative products, denim lovers can indulge their favorite attire from dawn to dusk, wherever they are, whatever they do. Clariant’s water and soil management finishing technology, such as C6-based Nuva N4547 and Nuva N1811, or fluorine-free Arkophob FFR, are designed to help denim stay clean and fresh, whilst Clariant’s Arkofix ELF provides just the right amount of 3D effects that make that much sought-after effortless chic look so good.
