The HMS Signature Products: HMS Original and HMS Light
HMS Original
HMS Original is a composite stone crafted from recyclable materials, making the stone washing process eco-friendly. Its use in denim washing gives a unique vintage appearance with impressive efficiency.
Key Features of HMS Original
Exceptional Durability
With only 12-16 grams reduced per garment in a 60-minute process, HMS lasts for 60 to 100 hours, eliminating frequent stone changes and simplifying denim washing.
No Residue
Unlike traditional methods, HMS leaves no dust on garments, avoiding rinsing. If rinsing is necessary, one rinse suffices, compared to the usual three with conventional but non-eco-friendly pumice stones.
Water Efficiency
Requiring 20% less water per load, HMS contributes to water conservation efforts.
Listing on EIM Tool
HMS is featured on the Environment Impact Measurement (EIM) tool, with a low impact rating for water and energy use.
Customizability
HMS comes with different stone sizes catering to various fabrics and stonewash processes.
HMS Light
HMS Light is an effective solution when it comes to delicate fabrics.
Key Features of HMS Light
Lower Density
Apart from gentle treatment for delicate fabrics, the lower density also ensures sustainability in manufacturing.
Consistent Abrasiveness
Similar to its predecessor, HMS Original, HMS Light excels in maintaining porosity and consistent abrasiveness of delicate fabrics during washing.
Optimal Water Interaction
HMS Light facilitates optimal water interaction in the finishing process which guarantees even treatment, preventing uneven or patchy results.
Unique Hues
The distinct hue of HMS Light simplifies material identification in busy manufacturing environments.
Indigo Abrasion
An unexpected feature of HMS Light is its ability to expedite indigo abrasion. In other words, it preserves the desired fading effect without compromising quality.
On This Note
Let’s adopt HMS, embrace the best denim fashion, and most importantly, preserve our Earth!
