“The freshness-enhancing concepts from Arch Chemicals Inc. help textiles stay fresh longer by controlling the growth of micro-organisms that cause odor and fabric deterioration,” said Peter Cowey, Textiles Business Director, Arch Chemicals. “This is an example of a functional solution that also delivers environmental benefits by reducing the water and energy resources required to keep treated materials clean.”

The Textile Chemicals business unit of BASF offers textile auxiliaries for weaving, pretreatment and dyeing, as well as comprehensive solutions for pigment printing, finishing and textile coatings. BASF products are manufactured and marketed worldwide. BASF is one of the leading suppliers in these fields.

Purista is the consumer brand representing the benefits of freshness enhancing treatments from Arch Chemicals Inc, a global specialty chemicals company headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut, USA. Purista treatments typically used in finished consumer products such as textiles are managed from Arch's regional centre in Manchester, UK. With annual sales of approximately $1.5 billion, Arch has leadership positions in Treatment and Performance Products and employs approximately 3,000 people worldwide.
