Archroma, a leader in colour and specialty chemicals from Switzerland, is set to present its latest technologies, under the motto: ‘Enhanced solutions for colour and performance, it’s our nature’, at China Interdye 2018, in booth A100. The 18th global dye industry pigments and textile chemicals expo will be held from April 11 to 13, 2018, in Shanghai.

The EarthColours patented range of “biosynthetic” dyes for cotton and cellulose-based fabrics will be presented at the show. They are made from waste left over by the agricultural and herbal industry after extraction, such as almond shells, saw palmetto, or rosemary leaves. The EarthColors have been adopted by brands such as Patagonia, Kathmandu, and G-Star, and won an OutDoor Industry Award 2017.

The Color Atlas, a ground-breaking platform specially devised to address the needs of designers, brands, retailers, and manufacturers, enhancing creative possibilities for the industry as well as manageability and time to market through key complementary tools, will be a part of the show. The six-volume ‘Color Atlas Library’ with 4,320 colour swatches and cotton poplin samples, the ‘Color Atlas Compact’ in two volumes for increased portability, and the ‘Color Atlas Online’ allowing to capture an inspiring image using a smartphone and immediately identify the closest Color Atlas shade palette, will be presented.

The company will show the ‘Zero add-on’ formaldehyde finishing and colouring solutions at the expo. Archroma offers a unique proposition combining: Fixapret Resin WFF, a “zero add-on” formaldehyde anti-wrinkle finishing system and Helizarin EcoSafe a “zero add-on”4 formaldehyde printing system.

Visitors at the booth will be able to experience a new unique dimension of odour control function for functional polyester textiles. The newly developed wash-resistant Sanitized Odoractiv 10 has a dual-action effect: on one hand it prevents the bacteria from docking on the textile, and on the other, it adsorbs odours while the garment is being worn.

Having acquired a 75 per cent stake in the M. Dohmen group, a specialist in textile dyes and chemicals for automotive, carpet, and apparel, Archroma is now in the position to extend its offer in expert products and services. M. Dohmen will be present at the show in booth A118. (GK)
