It’s trademarked Leveure range, made from fruits and vegetables, features five to six times lower COD and BOD levels than conventional chemicals. Suitable for all substrates like cotton, wool, nylon, and polyester, these pH-stable products (2 to 14) support every stage of textile processing. Adopted by European multinationals and tested in Bangladesh, the Leveure range is gaining international traction.
Strict quality control ensures batch reliability, with raw materials and products rigorously tested and backed by CoA for transparency.
The company's portfolio features the world's first sustainable alternative to urea, along with innovative replacements for salts and other products designed to transform the textile industry. The company specifically engineers these solutions to minimize environmental impact and ease the burden on ETPs. Prioritizing eco-friendly and sustainable advancements is leading the way in promoting environmentally responsible practices in the textile chemicals sector while maintaining superior product quality and compliance with global standards.
"We prioritize R&D to stay ahead of industry trends by introducing groundbreaking products like Additivo MJK pd, which helps in the reduction of Salt used in Reactive dyeing by at least 50 percent, Additivo URC Liq, an ammonia-free and nitrogen-free urea alternative that is 79 percent biodegradable and significantly reduces environmental impact in textile printing", shares Vikas.
The company adopts a tailored approach to client engagement. It begins with understanding specific client requirements, followed by product recommendations. For example, if a client seeks alternatives to sulfur-based compounds, Colour Chem offers suitable products like sulfur-free solutions for reduction-clearing processes. After presenting solutions, samples are tested in client facilities, and successful trials lead to seamless product integration. This structured process ensures customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
