Choose Partially Eco-Friendly Finishes
A leader in sustainable fabric finishes, Archroma empowers you to choose cleaner chemistries that not only meet today’s strictest standards but also keep you ahead of future regulations. We tackle the industry’s most pressing sustainability issues head-on with innovative solutions like non-PFAS, renewable-based durable water repellents; halogen- and antimony-free* flame retardants; safe antimicrobial treatments without metals or particles; and formaldehyde-free* crosslinkers and resins that optimize the performance of fabric and finishes.
Our products are certified to the most important eco-standards.
Benefit from Industry-Leading Innovation
Archroma’s innovations go beyond cleaner chemistries and bio-based formulations. Our solutions improve how fibers behave in production and help fabrics meet end user expectations..
For example, our moisture management systems are known for their wash durability and compatibility with our odor control and antimicrobial finishes, which deliver long-lasting freshness without releasing any active ingredient. Our partially biomass-based silicone softeners deliver excellent moisture management and a smooth soft touch. Our solutions for easy-care and non-iron effects deliver the highest performance in low- or no-formaldehyde formulations.
Solving Your Toughest Challenges
Whether you’re designing a fabric to shrug off light rain or withstand heavy snow, repel coffee stains or protect against flame, we’ve got the solution. Need to keep your wearer fresh and comfortable all day— regardless of changing conditions, and while maintaining durability? We’ve got options for that too.
Whatever your challenge, we help you balance cost and compatibility at every step—ensuring your fabric maintains its look, feel and functionality—all while choosing the right eco-profile to align with your sustainability goals.
Archroma’s strength is your competitive advantage. With a complete portfolio of advanced finishing chemicals and decades of expertise, we work with you to develop custom solutions that solve your toughest problems.
