Imerol Fast liq
“All-in-one" bleaching activator
Can we enjoy long-lasting textile colors with well-deserved peace of mind?
WE LOVE:
- Clothes and home articles with a pop of color that do not fade under the sun
BUT DID YOU KNOW?
- Creating colors on cotton requires a two-step coloration process…
- …that uses huge quantities of water and energy…
- and chemicals that can end up in the local effluents
