Global specialty chemicals company Archroma will participate in Exintex 2026, scheduled for March 10–13 at the Puebla Exhibition and Convention Center in Mexico, where it plans to showcase a portfolio of planet-conscious innovations for denim and performance wear.
At booths 2724, 2725 and 2726, the company will spotlight its award-winning DENIM HALO concept alongside solutions including TERASIL® W-VM, CYCLANON® XWV and HeiQ antimicrobial technologies. The presentation underscores Archroma’s strategy to combine high performance with measurable environmental gains across textile processing.
DENIM HALO, one of the company’s flagship technologies, recently received the International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF) Sustainability & Innovation Award. The process enables mills to create sought-after distressed denim looks while significantly lowering environmental impact. According to industry analysis, the technology can deliver water savings of 40–56%, energy reductions of 30–36% and CO₂ emission cuts of up to 34% compared with conventional methods.

The solution works by combining the DIRSOL® RD pretreatment with advanced indigo and sulfur dyes to achieve a laser-friendly ring-dyeing effect, reducing the need for manual scraping or potassium permanganate spraying in denim finishing.
Archroma’s showcase at Exintex also reflects its expanding collaboration with Swiss innovator HeiQ. The two companies signed a co-marketing agreement in early 2026 to scale sustainable anti-odor and antimicrobial textile technologies globally, responding to growing demand for hygiene-focused performance fabrics.
Exintex, regarded as one of Latin America’s key textile exhibitions, provides Archroma with a strategic platform to engage regional mills and brands as sustainability requirements tighten across global supply chains. Building on previous participation in the Mexican show, the company continues to position its “planet-conscious” chemistry as a pathway for manufacturers seeking both compliance and performance gains.
Industry visitors attending Exintex 2026 will be able to explore how Archroma’s latest dyeing, finishing and functional solutions can help mills improve efficiency, reduce resource consumption and meet evolving market expectations for responsible textile production.
