Redefining Textile Dyeing With Sustainability At Its Core
PIGMENTURA by CHT is a pioneering pigment-based dyeing process developed to address the significant environmental challenges faced by the textile industry.
Unlike traditional reactive dyeing methods, which require massive water and energy use, PIGMENTURA reduces water consumption by up to a remarkable 96%, ensuring cleaner rivers worldwide and contributing to active global environmental protection.
Inspired by Inditex and other leading figures in the fashion industry, PIGMENTURA introduces a fundamental shift by simplifying the pigment dyeing process.
