Montega Chemical Solutions, an Italian company specializing in the production of chemicals for textile treatments, has recently made a major breakthrough in its activities to redefine the standards for washing jeans through the use of certified products and more sustainable processes.
To achieve this aim, it has developed specific research focused on reducing water and energy consumption through a combination of the action of chemicals and state-of-the-art machinery.
Among the latest innovations, it offers is White Wash New, a special formulation for cold desizing by preparing the garment before stone washing while eliminating rinses between these two steps.
The word "Dry" characterizes Montega's various stone wash treating substances as, for instance, based on selected enzymes that use only residual moisture on the garment.
Enzimax Dry, for example, is the stone wash product that performs at low temperatures and without the need for water. In the next step, products from the Siriox family allow localized bleach without the need for permanganate and chlorine without requiring temperature changes to the process. At the same time, Siriox products are free of environmentally hazardous steps.
For the final drying phase, Montega has created Rapid Dry, an additive that added in the last washing cycle allows for faster evaporation of water from the garment and consequently helps faster drying. The result of this process offers a cleaner garment with brighter colors, preventing the risk of yellowing and decreasing the level of wear and tear.
The company's innovations also include chemical products formulated in the regulatory framework dictated by ZDHC Level 3, achieved by Montega in 2022, and obtained thanks to research and development geared toward making products that work without water and suitable for use through nebulisation.
In fact, the nebulisation technology, adopted by the in-house laboratory M-Lab Garment University, uses state-of-the-art machinery, as well as a water purification system capable of putting treated water back into circulation.
