A path in which being part of Kemin Industries proves fundamental, thanks to the support given by over 100 scientists and researchers involved in R&D projects for the Group.
OVD dyes: a superior quality range, in every way
The new collection made in Garmon offers a selection of dyes with excellent dischargeability, to achieve perfect results without aesthetic compromises.
OVD dyes are used in cationized dyeing processes on garment, where surface deposition of the colour on fabric is required. They deliver amazing vintage looks characterized by high contrasts on abraded areas.
Moreover, OVD dyes are pillars of conventional direct dyeing processes, where it is exploited their capability to directly dye the ber, providing a deep and even distribution of the colour.
This new proposal combines a perfect aesthetic output with enormous advantages in terms of sustainability. When comparing conventional direct dyeing with reactive dyes (the most adopted on the market), direct dyeing with OVD dyes allows for signi cant process improvements:
- only 5 process steps instead of 8 (on average)
- minimum number of auxiliaries
- lower quantity and higher performance of both dyes and auxiliaries
- much easier corrections for final shades
OVD dyes are compliant with the international regulations and RSL of the most demanding brands. They achieve remarkable savings of resources:
Stretch care: innovation continues
On the prestigious stage of the Kingpins Show, Garmon brings new features into the Stretch Care collection as well. Launched in April 2018, the line dedicated to the world of nishing on denim stretch is enhanced with new developments. They have been brought in by The Italian Job, Garmon creative lab, ensuring the inimitable Italian touch matched with a striving attention to detail.

Fortres Flex is an outstanding dispersing agent that performs at its best even at low temperature. Thanks to the selection of innovative raw materials, the product proves very effective for the protection of fabrics elastomer.
