Dyeing

We color people’s lives every day, everywhere.

The desire for colorful clothing is as old as human history, and we have nurtured that desire with dyestuff innovations since 1758.

Today, Archroma continues to push the boundaries. We empower mills and brands worldwide to craft textiles that stand out for their beauty and quality. We challenge tradition with innovations that not only outperform conventional dyes, but also save resources. Our chemistries are designed to be cleaner, safer and more sustainable.

Tap into our complete range of coloration solutions and industry-leading processing expertise to captivate your customers and boost your bottom line.

Choose Dyes for Comprehensive Sustainability

The future belongs to mills and brands that seamlessly blend economic and environmental sustainability. Every Archroma dye is engineered for operational excellence—minimizing resource consumption, maximizing right-first-time productivity and delivering cleaner chemistries, all with outstanding cost-performance.

And with our ONE WAY Impact Calculator, we can quantify the effect of your dyeing process on profit, planet and product performance for better decisions from the start.

Go Beyond Compliance

Even as regulations become more complex, staying compliant is no longer enough. Archroma develops products that not only meet today’s standards, but also anticipate future restrictions. We’ve led the industry in phasing out harmful substances like formaldehyde, aniline, PFAS, chrome dyes and bisphenol compounds.

Our Foundation+ portfolio is a curated selection of Archroma products that utilize innovative technologies to either design out hazardous or regulated substances or reduce them by more than 95% compared to the current industry standard limits. As part of our SAFE EDGE+ initiative, it helps you enhance supply chain transparency, speed time to market and stay ahead of evolving regulations.
