Denim is back in fashion. And today, simple variations in the
enzymatic wash cycle make a wide range of denim looks
possible. Specialty Enzymes and Biochemicals has enzyme
blends that make desizing, fading and biopolishing in
denim processing more efficient.
Specialty
Enzymes’ variety of desizing agents, such as
SEBdsize-5XL, (low
temp. 35 – 40°C), Supersize (moderate temp. 52 – 58°C) and
SEBstar-HTL
(stable at high temp. above 85°C), are effective for use
in the first step of desizing. Washing involves two
enzymatic wash cycles. The size (normally starch based)
needs to be removed to allow the action of the fading
enzyme in the first step of desizing.
The look of a garment depends entirely on the
enzyme-based formulations used for fading (Faders).
Specialty Enzymes has faders acting at acidic and
neutral pH levels. The performance of a product during
garment washing depends not only on the enzymes but also
on the ingredients used in the formulation. Specialty
Enzymes’ range of products in liquid (Denicell
and Denifade) and
powder (Nutrastone NC and Fadex 500) form offer laundry managers a
choice in achieving the desired effect on a garment.
Another major application for enzyme-based formulations
in the garment industry is biopolishing. Specialty
Enzymes’ biopolishers, such as Denisoft and
Denistone PW help manufacturers achieve a
permanent soft feel, increased absorbency and cool
breathing nature of the fabric. More and more
manufacturers are reducing the use of chemicals, like
cationic softeners and silicones, and opting for
enzyme-based biopolishing agents, particularly due to
their ability to obtain permanent softness.
