Biopolishing

Cellulase-based products for enzymatic biopolishing of denim, cotton and blends at different temperatures and pH conditions

Biopolishing is a textile process that enhances fabric quality by the elimination of superficial hairiness.

Significantly reducing pilling, biopolishing gives garments a shiny and bright look, making the fabric texture more obvious, and provides a more pleasant hand feel.

An incorrect procedure or an inadequate enzyme can give problems of indigo back-staining on denim garments and reduce the fabric’s mechanical strength.

Garmon Chemical’s auxiliaries for biopolishing are specifically developed to provide:

  • brighter shades and higher contrast in abraded areas
  • minimal indigo bleeding
  • less back-staining
  • minimal environmental impact
  • less corrosion of metal accessories

They are designed to work in low and medium temperatures, in acid or neutral conditions.
