Create hard-wearing camouflage prints for day and night, faster and with less resources.

TOUGH CAMO is a waterless, formaldehyde-free* pigment printing system for easy-to-adjust infrared reflectivity that also allows consistent printing on flame retardant fibers.

Faster fixation delivers water and energy savings, reduced CO2 emissions, less wastewater impact and higher productivity—even on tricky flame retardant fibers.

  • 100% reduction in water consumption
  • 13% reduction in processing time#
  • 70% reduction in energy consumption
  • 65% reduction in CO2 emissions
