ENZYTEX CKS is a fungi cellulase for biostoning of products based on denim and dense fabrics.
Composition: acid cellulase, purified water, glycerine, tare preservative.
Presentation: medium viscosity liquid, light brown, packed into plastic canisters with weight of 10, 25, 60 kg.
- Ferment ООО
Fungi-based acid cellulase for bio-stoning of denim and dense fabric products.
Advantages
-
improves softness of treated materials and products;
-
no need to use the pumice stone;
-
high effectiveness at creation of modern "worn out" effects;
-
ensures minimum loses of material weight and hardness;
-
short processing time.
Composition
Acid cellulase, purified water, glycerine, tare preservative.
Mechanism of action
ENZYTEX CKS hydrolyses β-1,4-glycosidic bonds of cellulose fibers on the surface of material, destroying them to water-soluble sugars. In addition to destruction of cellulose molecules, the solution receives the dye that used to be attached to these fibers.
Efficiency
| Resistance to: | |
|---|---|
|
Hard water |
good, calcium and manganese ions serve as amylase activators |
|
Metal cations |
bad, cations of heavy metals significantly reduce amylase activity |
|
Acids / alkali |
stable at pH from 4 to 6
optimal pH value 4.5–5.5 |
| Processing temperature |
working range 30–70 °C optimum range 40–60 °C |
| Compatible with: | |
|---|---|
|
Wetting agents / detergents |
good |
| Complex formers / stabilizers |
good, at optimal pH values |
| Reducing agents |
bad, reduce cellulase activity |
|
Oxidants |
bad, reduce cellulase activity |
