Archroma, a global leader in color and specialty chemicals towards sustainable solutions, has launched Fadex® AS New, a new “super UV protector” to make automotive and transportation textiles even more resistant to light.
The company already started various activities towards a greener future. A contract has been signed with the utility provider, providing surety that electrical energy will be supplied only from renewable sources. The wave soldering process in the production of circuit boards will be abolished step-by-step resulting in the energy consumption and the amount of tin-solder needed will be reduced significantly. The use of isopropanol in electronics manufacturing will be decreased also.
