Helizarin®
Pigment binders
Are your printed clothes putting you and our Earth at risk?
WHAT WE LOVE:
- The soft touch of an elegantly printed fabric
- Prints that stay sharp and vibrant for longer
BUT DID YOU KNOW?
- The pigments are applied to the fabrics together with a binder that often contains carcinogenic impurities…
- …needs a lot of heat energy to be effective...
- …and makes the fabric harsh to the touch
