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 to a Sustainable World: 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.
Safe to use, safe to release and also safe to wear. - EFFICIENT – IT’S OUR NATURE TO RETHINK SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING
Innovating application processes that minimize resources and maximize productivity, both in our and our customers’ manufacturing as well as by setting ourselves ambitious sustainability goals. - ENHANCED – IT’S OUR NATURE TO ADD ANOTHER LEVEL OF VALUE
Innovation is critical. With it, we create additional effects, functionalities and aesthetics and sustainable differentiation to bring additional value, helping consumers to achieve their goals, for a life enhanced.

Archroma's full synthetic sizing process vs benchmark semi-synthetic sizing process
The ECO2 SIZE system / Main benefits in a nutshell
- Safe products from a reliable global partner who applies international safety standards
- Increase productivity, loom efficiency by + 5%
- Improve the fabric quality by reducing 2nd quality control outcome
- Reduces water and energy consumption and therefore clearly better carbon dioxide footprint
- Reduces the total production costs compared to classical semi synthetic sizing process
- Drastic reduction of COD/BOD demand in waste water
