Denim Maker Artistic Milliners Partners Archroma On Sulfur Dyes
Denim manufacturer Artistic Milliners and sustainable specialty chemicals producer Archroma are partnering to rewrite the future of denim, by leveraging Archroma’s Diresul Evolution Black dyestuff.
In the process, the partners are promoting more eco-advanced sulfur black dyeing for denim with a variety of washdown effects and reduced environmental impact.
According to Archroma, Diresul Evolution Black delivers outstanding resource savings, using less water and energy and producing less CO2 during dye synthesis.
Furthermore, it offers unique shade and washdown behaviour compared to standard black dyes to consistently create eye-catching aesthetics, especially on dark black shades with no bronzing effect.
Artistic Milliners had launched a capsule collection based on the new technology named Evo Black, bagging a strong positive response from global brands.
Artistic Milliners is now working closely with a research and innovation team from Archroma, to expand its use of the new black colouration system in combination with other colours and performance effects.
“With decades of denim innovation, Artistic Milliners continues to push the envelope to lower the environmental impact of clothing for brands and consumers,” Omer Ahmed, MD, Artistic Milliners said.
“We are enthusiastic about promoting the Diresul Evolution Black as a way to help our industry move towards more eco forward denim production that nurtures people and the planet,” Ahmed added.
Archroma introduced its low-sulfide Diresul RDT range which include the likes of eco-advanced Pad-Ox dyeing process and the innovative plant-based EarthColors sulfur dyestuffs range.
