Foron®
Disperse dyes for polyester
Did you know that most polyester cotton blends need to be dyed twice?
We love:
- Fabrics with the durability of polyester and the comfort of cotton…
- … that stay new after repetitive home washing to maintain a fresh look…
- … that don’t overuse natural resources
We don't love:
- That the polyester and the cotton need to be dyed separately…
- …requiring up to twice the amount of water, time and energy…
- … generating more CO2
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.
