Arch Chemicals Inc., is a global speciality chemicals company headquartered in Norwalk , Conneticut , USA . Its biocides business develops, manufactures, markets and sells antimicrobials for a wide range of anti-bacterial and anti-fungal applications in global industrial and consumer markets. In 2004 Arch acquired Avecia's Biocides business, (itself a successor to Zeneca Biocides) and with this has sited its main European base in Manchester, from where its global textiles business is also managed.

Textiles can provide the perfect breeding ground for micro-organisms that cause odours, discoloration and premature degradation. Arch's textile antimicrobials have been specifically developed to combat the development of micro-organisms in a range of fiber-based products from clothing and home textiles to carpeting, canvas, cordage and geo textiles. Antimicrobial treatments may be used for background product preservation, to provide a specific level of antimicrobial performance (example, workwear), or to provide a marketable performance finish on consumer textiles. You will find that Arch have perhaps the most comprehensive offering from products, technical support and application know how, through to treated consumer product marketing.

Arch Chemicals Inc. has annual sales of over $1billion, of which biocides represent approximately 25%. The company employs approximately 2800 people worldwide and has leadership positions in Treatment and Performance Products
