Advantage
:
Complete removal of starch and other sizes containing
size without fibre damage is
best obtained by using
biolase DZ / Biolase DZ Liq.
Higher whiteness after scouring and bleaching
and lower defects in dyeing.
Eliminates patchy effects due to even desizing
Higher uptake of dye
Softens the garment to prevent abrasion and
creases where hard crease marks
have resulted from folding
Increased biodegradability of effluent
Process flexibility
Less handling of aggressive chemicals
Recommended as pretreatment before stone wash /
bio wash Biolase
DZ is available in both liquid and powder form
but the preferences today is for liquid amylase
preparations for ecological reasons and to
eliminate dusting and sensitization.

Advantages
:
Excellent puckering effect
Prevention of damage to machine capacity
and garments as fewer / no pumice
stones are
used.
Increase in capacity utilization of
equipment.
Less or no effluent treatment
Ease of process control
Better garment feel / finish
No environment pollution as in the case
of pumice stones
Improved water absorbency Biolase
NC is particularly recommended for very
high level of abrasion with no
backstaining

Bio-finishing
and bio-polishing of cotton
fabrics to remove fuzz. Also
inexpensive abrasion effects on
denim.
Biopolishing
is a cellulase enzyme treatment
designed to improve fabric quality
- used on cotton, linen, rayon,
LyoCell etc.
Biolase BPL is a versatile product
and is suitable for softening,
abrasion effects, surface
polishing, surface fibre removal,
depilling on a variety of
cellulosic fibre and garments
using small dosages.
Advantages :
Clearer, lint and fuzz free
surface structure
Improved pilling resistance
Improved drape ability handle and
softness (particularly when
combined with
softner)
Enduring effects even after
repeated wear and laundering
Better water pick up
Biolase
BPL is also recommended for
defibrillation. It can be used for
biostoning / stonewash of denim -
cheaper range as backstaining
occurs.

DGS
Protease
Sericin
Degumming
of silk
The
fibroin filaments of
cocoon silk are naturally
gummed together with
protein sericin. The
removal of this sericin is
called degumming and
various degumming agent
are used. Enzyme degumming
involves proteolytic
degrading of sericin using
a specific protease which
does not attack the
fibroin unlike traditional
degumming using acids or
soap and soda. Advantages
of enzymatic degumming
over conventional
degumming:
Finishing silk is
smoother, softer and
lustrous
Silk affinity to reactive
dyes is also significantly
improved
Less strength loss of silk
fibre
Shorter and milder
operating conditions
Energy efficient
Effluent with lower BOD /
COD
Does not require bath
temperature to be heated
substantially

size without fibre damage is
