Do you tread a fine line every time you select your sizing agent?
AS PROCESSORS WE LOVE:
- The ability to manufacture luxurious valuable woven fabrics…
- …with minimal intervention during weaving…
- … and trouble free waste water management; low BOD/COD
- … with the option of recycling the size bath
BUT DID YOU KNOW:
- Starch-based size can reduce weaving efficiency and overall loom productivity…
- … and have a serious impact on waste water treatment costs
The Archroma Way: Safe, Efficient, Enhanced. It’s our nature.
- SAFE – IT’S OUR NATURE TO PROTECT
A solid core: Our deeply rooted goal to protect people and our planet.
