Three years of aniline-free denim prompts Archroma celebration
Chemicals provider Archroma chose World Water Day, March 22, to issue a celebration of its Denisol Pure Indigo dye, launched three years ago.
On World Water Day 2021, Archroma said that three years on, the product had been successful in “converting the denim industry to aniline-free, pre-reduced liquid indigo”.
It said that since the launch of Denisol Pure Indigo, a number of denim manufacturers, including Absolute Denim, Advance Denim, Azgard 9, Kilim Group, Nuevo Mundo, Rantex, Shasha Denim and Tuong Long, had set up dedicated production lines for brands and retailers that want aniline-free denim.
Its estimate is that, in the course of the last three years, these manufacturers have made a combined total of 300 million pairs of jeans free from aniline. Removing aniline, it explained, helps preserve the health of denim workers and the aquatic life in the world’s rivers.
