In the dynamic world of textile manufacturing, achieving superior fabric quality while adhering to sustainable practices is paramount. Bio-polishing, a finishing process that utilizes enzymes, has emerged as a key technology to achieve these goals. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we are dedicated to providing innovative enzyme solutions that redefine textile processing. This article delves into the science behind bio-polishing and the critical role of enzymes like our acid cellulase.

What is Bio-Polishing?

Bio-polishing is a biochemical finishing treatment applied to cellulosic fabrics, such as cotton, linen, and rayon. The primary objective is to improve the fabric's aesthetic and tactile properties. This is achieved by selectively removing protruding micro-fibrils and small fiber ends from the yarn surface. This process leads to a smoother fabric appearance, a softer hand-feel, and a significant reduction in the tendency for pilling. Unlike mechanical treatments, enzymatic bio-polishing offers a more controlled and gentle approach, preserving fabric integrity.

The Role of Acid Cellulase Enzymes

At the heart of bio-polishing lies the enzyme cellulase. Specifically, acid cellulase enzymes are highly effective due to their optimal activity in acidic conditions, which are often compatible with various textile processing stages. These enzymes work by hydrolyzing the β-1,4-glycosidic bonds within the cellulose structure. The endo- and exo-glucanase components of the cellulase system target the amorphous regions of the cellulose fibers, breaking down the protruding micro-fibrils. This enzymatic action results in the desired smoothness and anti-pilling effects.

Benefits of Using Acid Cellulase for Textile Bio Polishing

The advantages of incorporating acid cellulase into textile finishing are manifold. Firstly, it significantly enhances fabric smoothness and reduces pilling, directly improving the perceived quality of the garment. Secondly, the process can lead to brighter colors and a more lustrous appearance of the fabric. Thirdly, and crucially for modern manufacturing, bio-polishing is an environmentally friendly process. It reduces the need for harsh chemicals often used in mechanical finishing, leading to lower water consumption and reduced effluent load. For denim washing, the precision of acid cellulase allows for controlled fading and the creation of unique vintage looks.
