The aim of the nominations now announced, is to strengthen the Supervisory Board’s profile with more international business experience and to add significant industry expertise. The Supervisory Board is very grateful for her commitment and valuable contributions to the Supervisory Board and the Audit Committee and wishes her all the best for the future. That is how Archroma helps to transform our industry – because it’s our nature.Having served on the Supervisory Board for four years, Julia van Nauta Lemke has indicated not to seek a second term and will resign from the Supervisory Board at the end of her current term (at the date of the 2020 AGM). With the CONSCIOUSLY DEEP system based on the new Nylosan® S navy and black colors we combine all three: safer ingredients free*of metal and halogen, a more efficient process with less water, energy, and greenhouse gas, and enhanced value with a more desirable and durable article. “Innovation is a key enabler of the Archroma Way to a sustainable world,” explains Mark Dohmen, Head of Competence Center Synthetics. This results into reducing the process time by up to 36%, water consumption by up to 64%, energy by up to 46%, and CO2 emissions by up to 41% compared to conventional benchmark process. In addition, with the new Nylosan® Navy S-3R and Black S-3N at the core of its new CONSCIOUSLY DEEP system, Archroma is offering another very welcome benefit in the production of polyamide articles: resource saving.Īs most sportswear manufacturers and brands know, creating durable dark colors on nylon is a complex process that uses massive amounts of water and energy.Īrchroma therefore designed the new CONSCIOUSLY DEEP system to allow a highly efficient scour dyeing process reduced from 6 to 2 baths.
They are REACH registered, bluesign® approved and ZDHC level 3 compliant. Third, the new navy and black dyes display the same color constancy as the dyes used in many leading color standards, which means the navy and black colors created with Nylosan ® S range will be non-metameric to the color standard under multiple light sources, whether artificial or natural, indoor or outdoor.Īnd fourth, the introduction of the new Nylosan® Black S-3N makes dyeing a metal-free* black on polyamide finally possible – something that was not available before.īoth dyes display the other usual features allowed of the Nylosan® S range, i.e., high fastness and buildup, and a wide shading gamut for industry-leading metal-free* acid dyes. In order to support this color matching process, Archroma makes available the colorimetric dye primaries for the mills in order to (re)match the color standards. Second, the Nylosan® S range now comprises a wide gamut of colors, with these new dyes targeting the color matching and fastness specifications of the iconic blacks and navies of major sportswear brands. The new Nylosan® Navy S-3R and Black S-3N are taking the industry standard one step further by offering a halogen-free* option to those manufacturers, brands and retailers who are looking to offer the safest grade available. In this context, the new Nylosan® Navy S-3R and Black S-3N, especially developed by Archroma for polyamides and blends, meet four long-standing market demands for blacks and navies.įirst, the Nylosan® S range offers metal-free* alternatives to dyestuff generally used to dye polyamide and nylon and which usually contain metals. Dark shades represent approximately 80% of the outdoor and sportswear textile market, which is also under pressure to offer more sustainable articles. Reinach, Switzerland – : Archroma, a global leader in specialty chemicals towards sustainable solutions, announced the addition of two new metal-free* and halogen-free* acid dyes in its Nylosan® S range.
