PRINTOFIX® TFHigh performance pigment preparations
Printofix® TF are high performance pigment preparations for outdoor applications. A special selection of raw materials to help customers achieve high fastness. Printofix® TF is mainly suited for synthetic fabrics specially developed for sunshades, camping tents, umbrellas and other industrial applications where other dyes cannot meet the very high requirements of light and weather fastness.
Printofix® TF pigment preparations allow to create colors that can resist light, weather, ozone or heat.
5
BENEFITS • Excellent fastness test results: Light and weather, ozone, thermostability, PVC migration
• Easy application by coating, printing and continuous dyeing
• High dispersion stability and low viscosity
• Global range produced in Europe and available worldwide
• Improving light fastness of fabric dyed with other dyestu� s
MARKET APPLICATION • Automotive (e.g. tarpaulins truck)
• Outdoor furniture and home textile (e.g. umbrellas, sunshades, tents, curtains)
• Sportswear and outdoor equipment (e.g. camping tents)

PEKOFLAM®Commitment to eco-advanced flame retardant chemistry
Our self-commitment to use only non-halogenated technologies for our global range of Pekoflam® products dates back to 2011, when Archroma took a clear step away from then commonly available halogen-based fire retardants (FR).
The Pekoflam® range is therefore ideally suited to help our customers face today’s ecological challenges and fulfill ever stricter safety regulations, whatever the application area is.
Thanks to its focus on innovation, Archroma has been able to further develop its non-halogenated product range and is now in the position to o� er innovative FR solutions addressing the specific needs of the industry.
Selected products are therefore assessed for compliance to labels such as GOTS2 or OEKO-TEX®3 Standard 100 and in line with today’s global requirements for industrial and consumer safety.
