Enzyme Sylic B6110

Why enzymes are used in textile industry?

      Enzymes are used in the textile industry because they accelerate reactions, act only on specific                         substrates, operate under mild conditions, are safe and easy to control, can replace harsh chemicals and           enzymes are biologically degradable.

• What are enzymes used for in clothes?

  
  

  The specific textile enzymes used are amylases, catalase, and laccase for removing the starch, degrading excess hydrogen peroxide, textile bleaching, and lignin-degrading.

      Antibacterial agents made of silver ions, an antibacterial material or substance, can inhibit odors caused           by  the growth of microorganisms.

• What enzyme breaks down cotton?

  
  

• The enzymes used in the textile field are amylases for desizing of cotton and cellulases for denim finishing and biopolishing.

  
  

• Which enzyme is used in silk industry?

  
  

• A lipase enzyme in combination with a protease enzyme has been used for dewaxing and degumming of silk and the combined effect of dewaxing and degumming on weight loss, wettability, dye uptake, yellowing, microscopic structure, handle and lustre has been studied

  
  

• Why enzyme process is so important in garment washing?

• Advantages. Enzyme washing is considered more sustainable than stone washing or acid washing because it is more water efficient. Residual pumice fragments from stone washing demand a lot of water to be eliminated, and acid washing involves multiple wash cycles to produce the desired effect.
