The use of Potassium Permanganate Spray (PP Spray) to create located used areas in a pair of jeans was the last polluting and harmful technique for workers’ health and environment that was yet to be substituted by a sustainable method. Spanish company, Jeanologia announced its latest development, PP Light Spray, a sustainable textile chemical for eliminating the use of PP Spray and will be showcasing the same at Denim by Premiere Vision, Barcelona on November 18 and 19.
PP Spray is an extremely dangerous activity which is done using a spray-gun that transforms chemical into micro-particles absorbed by people performing the activity, causing lung ailments. Jeanologia has put an end to the four adversely affecting processes used in the textile industry – sand blast with is Light Solutions, Stonewash with Light Stoner, manual scraping with Light Scraper and now finally PP Spray with PP Light Spray. Enrique Silla, CEO, Jeanologia said, “The elimination of potassium permanganate spray by the use of laser is a milestone for the textile industry because it transforms the process of jeans production in the world. We’ve managed to replace all hazardous technology techniques for workers and emissions of the textile industry that, in the last four years have been reduced to 0 per cent.”
