ECOPASSPORT by OEKO-TEX® ― certified pigments from Merck Electronics KGaA

PLAY IT SAFE WITH OUR PIGMENTS FOR TEXTILES AND LEATHERS

We have obtained OEKO-TEX® ECOPASSPORT certification for close to 80 pigments used in textiles and leathers.

What exactly is OEKO-TEX® ECOPASSPORT certification?

  • It's an independent, reliable third-party assessment, testing, and certification system for chemicals, colorants, dyes, and auxiliaries used in textiles and leather articles.
  • It checks to make sure that certain safety, sustainability and compliance requirements are met.

OEKO-TEX® ECOPASSPORT certification means that when textile and leather production uses certified pigments from Merck Electronics KGaA instead of non-tested pigments, you will have the pre-certificate at hand to apply for the OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 label for your final textile and leather products.
