With a focus on durability, color longevity, and eco-conscious performance, Archroma will highlight its High IQ Lasting Color program and PHOBOTEX® durable water-repellent (DWR) range.
“China plays a critical role in textile production, and we’re seeing a strong shift toward high-performance, lower-impact solutions,” said Christine Cai, Vice President of North Asia, Archroma Textile Effects. “At Interdye, we’re proud to present technologies that help brands deliver vibrant, durable garments with a significantly smaller environmental footprint.”
The newly updated High IQ Lasting Color program is designed to keep garments looking fresh and vibrant for longer.
