The tactile experience of a fabric is a significant factor in consumer satisfaction and perceived product quality. Enhancing the handfeel – the softness, smoothness, and drape – of textiles is a primary goal in fabric finishing. Enzymes, particularly cellulases, have revolutionized this aspect of textile production by offering a precise and effective way to modify fabric surfaces. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides advanced neutral cellulase enzymes (CAS 9012-54-8) that are instrumental in achieving superior fabric handfeel.

How Cellulase Enhances Fabric Feel

Cellulase enzymes work by selectively hydrolyzing the surface fibers of cellulosic fabrics like cotton, linen, and rayon. This enzymatic action targets the fine protruding fibrils that cause fuzziness and a rough texture. By carefully removing these microfibrils, cellulases achieve several desirable effects:

  • Improved Softness: The removal of surface fuzz and the breakdown of fiber structures lead to a noticeably softer fabric that is pleasant to the touch.
  • Smoother Surface: Bio-polishing with cellulase results in a cleaner, smoother fabric surface, reducing imperfections and enhancing visual appeal.
  • Enhanced Drape: By reducing the friction between fibers and making the fabric more pliable, cellulase treatments can improve the fabric's drape, allowing it to fall more elegantly.
  • Reduced Pilling: The enzyme's ability to trim loose fibers significantly inhibits the formation of pills, extending the fabric's aesthetic life and quality.

Applications for Superior Handfeel

Our neutral cellulase enzyme is highly recommended for applications focused on improving fabric feel, such as:

  • Bio-polishing: This is the primary application where cellulase is used to impart softness and smoothness to cotton knitwear, woven fabrics, and blends.
  • Denim Washing: While also used for aesthetic effects, cellulase in denim washing contributes to a softer, more comfortable wear by softening the fabric's texture.
  • Garment Finishing: Post-sewing treatment of garments to enhance their overall handle and consumer appeal.
