Archroma Inspires Mills and Brands at EXINTEX 2024 with Super Systems for Enhanced Economic and Environmental Sustainability
Archroma, a global leader in specialty chemicals towards sustainable solutions, is focusing on innovations that deliver both economic and environmental sustainability at this year’s EXINTEX textile industry fair in Puebla, Mexico.
“The Mexican textile industry has made great strides towards sustainability to capture global demand for eco-friendly fashion and textiles, but balancing economic growth and environmental stewardship can be a challenge, especially for small and mid-sized enterprises,” Fernando Hernandez Espinosa, VP Americas, Archroma Textile Effects, said.
“With this in mind, EXINTEX 2024 is the ideal platform for Archroma to introduce our new Super Systems solutions to Mexican brands and mills. Delivering on our ‘Planet Conscious’ vision, these innovative solution sets can help you optimize your productivity, add value to your products and create a positive impact on the environment,” he continued.
Super Systems are powerful end-to-end systems that combine fiber-specific processing solutions and intelligent effects. Drawing on the industry’s broadest product portfolio, the Super Systems suite encompasses wet processing solutions that deliver measurable environmental impact from sizing to finishing; durable colors and functional effects that add value and longevity to the end product; and cleaner chemistries that eliminate harmful or regulated substances.
Breakthrough technologies for Super Systems solutions at EXINTEX 2024 include:
