Thai company switches to Archroma’s aniline-free dye
Textile chemicals manufacturer Archroma has confirmed that Thailand-based Absolute Denim will be the first denim manufacturer to switch 100% of its production to the company’s aniline-free indigo dyeing solution. 

Archroma first unveiled its Denisol Pure Indigo 30 aniline-free liquid dye in May 2018. The product was tested at Absolute Denim’s mill in Thailand, where it was found to offer the same performance as conventional indigo dyes. 

Making the announcement, James Carnahan, Archroma’s head of sustainability, said: “At Archroma we continuously challenge the status quo in the deep belief that we can make our industry sustainable - but we cannot do it alone. Without forward-thinking manufacturers such as Absolute Denim to consciously adopt these eco-advanced innovations in their daily production we will not be able to move this industry forward on our resource-constrained world we live in.”
