Archroma backing will take CleanKore to ‘next level’
Chemicals group Archroma has teamed up with technology innovator CleanKore to “promote each other’s technologies”.

CleanKore claims its process of dyeing yarns eliminates the need for potassium permanganate spray and laser booster to achieve the bright white abrasion effect in the garment finishing process, making the process safer for workers while saving energy and water.

Archroma’s denim colouration specialists will provide support to denim mills seeking to implement the CleanKore technology.

CleanKore CEO Darryl Costin Jr said: "We have successfully proven the technology with mill partners such as Arvind and other denim mills in Pakistan, Bangladesh, China, Vietnam, Thailand and the United States. The response from the industry has been overwhelmingly positive. 

“Having a partner in Archroma will allow us to take CleanKore to the next level.”
