The Perfect Jeans – For You and the Environment

Today’s jeans are soft and wearable the day they are purchased. That’s because manufacturers put their denim through a rigorous finishing process that requires time, energy – and a lot of water. Dow Corning and a finishing solutions provider in India recently invented new a technology using a granulation platform that reduces the amount of water and energy needed in the finishing process – and increases productivity.

Denim manufacturers in India are testing the new product in a series of trials. While each company finishes jeans differently, Dow Corning estimates that use of its granulation product can cut water consumption 30 to 50 percent.

Dow Corning offers Services and Solutions to diverse industries worldwide. Let us put our innovative thinking to work for you. Together, we can achieve things never before imagined.
