A pair of jeans leaves the loom looking identical to every other pair. What the buyer actually bought happens in the machine — the abrasion, the contrast, the hand. Farbstoffe Intl supplies the full chemistry of that room: cellulase enzymes for bio-polish and abrasion, enzymatic bleaching and PP replacement, anti-back stainers, elastane and zipper protection, and special softeners.
Farbstoffe Intl is committed to delivering both economic and environmental sustainability throughout the textile value chain — manufacturer & marketer of top-quality products and differentiated chemicals adhering to the highest global standards, whilst minimizing environmental impacts and prioritizing health and safety.

The fade scale
Raw indigo doesn't sell. The wash does.
Denim is an indigo warp woven over a white weft. Every effect in this catalogue is a way of deciding how much of that warp comes off — and how evenly. Step through it.
An illustration of the effect, not a shade card. Each step names only what the catalogue itself claims — bio-polish, moderate abrasion, strong abrasion, full-body bleaching, snow. Ask for wash trials on your own fabric and machine.

Sustainability
The vintage look, minus the vintage methods
“Empowering world through sustainability.”
Denim laundry has historically leaned on pumice stones, potassium permanganate and acid wash. This catalogue offers a route around each of them — enzymatic abrasion instead of stones, a PP replacement agent, and an acid-wash replacement technology for snow effects.
Fewer pumice stones
SSP SM-30 and SM-60 create strong localized and overall abrasion, reducing the need for stones.
A route without PP
Replace Agent R-PP gives a bleaching effect similar to potassium permanganate, without the harsh oxidation.
Elastane protected
SM-60 is a lycra-safe abrasion system, and Elastic Protector BL-1 shields elastane through harsh treatments.
Snow without acid wash
Snow is an acid-wash replacement technology — high contrast, with less garment damage and machine wear.
