Rethinking the functionalization of textiles - Changing pathways from resource-intensive to modern water-based finishing concepts

Archroma has spent decades on developing new products for traditional application systems where the focus was on solutions for full impregnation or exhaust, both resource intense concepts. The initial cooperation with Baldwin was a step change to functionalize textile surfaces by spraying chemicals with less water and energy demand, which opened new pathways for our product development strategy. And will be taken a step further now with joint forces from Monforts.

How precision spray technology is rapidly replacing antiquated

BW Converting's Baldwin TexCoat™ G4 is rapidly becoming known as the worldwide standard for replacing traditional padding technology, allowing for lower carbon footprints (less energy consumption), reductions in water and chemistry, and higher production speeds. The partnership with Archroma and Monforts is accelerating the transition to more sustainably produced textiles and improving the textile manufacturer's profitability.
