Resil Chemicals has tied up with Acticell to develop environmentally-friendly, sustainable textiles.

Resil Chemicals is a textile finishing chemicals and auxiliary manufacturer. Acticell is an Austrian chemical research company.

The collaboration is focused on developing a range of green, sustainable chemical solutions for the denim industry.

This process of denim treatment helps to create a new look as well as replicate denim effects similar to that of hand sand and PP process on denim garments.

Resil Chemicals is a manufacturer of silicon and other finishings. It provides finishings to brands. Growth would be achieved by introducing new finishings and promoting new applications of similar chemicals in products like plastic water tanks and mattresses. The company also considers its own backward integration as an added advantage. At present about 15 to 20 per cent of its business comes from exports to countries in Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Europe and Africa.

Acticell develops chemical procedures for the innovative surface treatment of cellulosic material. It creates tailor-made solutions for manufacturers of denim fabrics and denim clothes. Its products can be used as an enzyme booster to decolorize jeans, as a bleaching agent to replace harmful bleaching technologies and as a dyeing pre-treatment in the textile industry. Products are 100 per cent safe, non-toxic, and environmental-friendly.
