But did you know?
- Traditional Sulfur Black 1 dyestuff produces ammonia, sodium salts waste or liquid effluents
- The synthesis process for traditional Sulfur Black 1 dyestuff consumes huge amount of water
Rewriting the future
For more than a century, the traditional Sulphur Black synthesis process consumed substantial water and energy resources and produced unwanted effluents and residues. With the launch of EVOLUTION BLACK based on DIRESULT® RDT technology, Archroma is rewriting the future for brands that want to produce more sustainable collections with high-value aesthetics and top fabric quality.
