en.Wedoany.com Reported - Archroma will showcase its denim dyeing and process technologies at the Kingpins denim exhibition held at SugarFactory in Amsterdam in April 2026. Among them, the Diresul Evolution Black dye can reduce the overall life cycle impact by 57% compared to traditional sulfur black 1, while saving 73% water during the synthesis process. This launch focuses on cleaner dyes, bio-based dyes, and improvements in denim manufacturing processes, aiming to maintain denim production efficiency and market suitability while reducing environmental impact.
The dye products exhibited include Denisol Pure Indigo, Diresul Evolution Black, and Diresul RDT. Denisol Pure Indigo is a synthetic indigo dye free of aniline, targeting denim production with lower pollution risk; Diresul RDT offers Bluesign-certified sulfur dye formulations, covering a wider range of denim color applications. Viewing these three products as part of the same technological sequence, Archroma's showcase has expanded from a single indigo alternative to a complete set of solutions for indigo, black, and multi-color sulfur dyeing.
Archroma will also exhibit two bio-based dye product lines: Earthcolors and Fibercolors. Earthcolors uses inedible agricultural and herbal by-products as raw materials, while Fibercolors contains at least 50% wool waste. Categorized by raw material source, these two product lines correspond to agricultural waste and textile waste recycling scenarios, respectively, indicating that its dye development path has extended to raw material end emission reduction and waste resource utilization.
In terms of process technology, Archroma will simultaneously showcase Denim Halo. This yarn pretreatment and dyeing technology, recognized by the ITMF 2025 Sustainability and Innovation Award, enables ring dyeing within the factory, allowing garment laundries to achieve high-contrast vintage effects without using harmful chemicals. According to the company, Denim Halo can be directly integrated into existing factory processes without altering standard dye formulations or equipment settings, meaning this technology has transitioned from an experimental process to an application stage that can be implemented on existing production lines.
Julio Perales, Manager of Denim Technology and Products at Archroma, stated that the denim industry is seeking ways to simultaneously reduce environmental impact while maintaining market appeal and production efficiency. Judging from the product portfolio exhibited at this Amsterdam Kingpins show, Archroma has integrated dye substitution, waste material utilization, and in-plant dyeing processes into a single presentation framework.
