FINOZYME AX

FINOZYME AX is a specially designed eco-friendly liquid Acid Cellulase Enzyme (Carbohydrase Enzyme) of Trichoderma sp. produced in a state-of-the-art fermentation facility

FINOZYME AX is specially designed for application in superior BioFinishing Process and Denim washing of all cellulosic fabrics both woven and knits.

CHARACTERISTICS:

     
Appearance
:
Amber coloured clear and viscous liquid.
     
Odour
:
Mild fermentation odour
     
pH   4.5 – 4.9
     

SPECIAL FEATURES:

     
Clean Finish
:
More effectively removes fuzz and cotton pill balls from fabric/ garment compared to most other acid cellulases. The cutting effect is very obvious.
     
Low Colour Bleeding
:
Exhibits low colour bleeding properties when compared to regular acid cellulases.
     
Softness
:
Significantly softens cellulosic fabric/ garment with reduced strength loss.
     
Flexibility in finish
:
Versatile looks and finish can be achieved by varying the dosage and process parameters.
     
Natural Look
:
Yields permanent softness and luster to the fabric / garment and improves the general look
 
 

FINOZYME AX is active at a broad range of pH (3.5 to 6.5) and temperature (45 to 65 deg.C).

 
1. BioFinishing Process:

FINOZYME AX hydrolyses the microfibrils of fabric/ garment thereby effectively removing fuzz/ pill ball and imparts a smoother and polished appearance to surface of fabric/ garment.

PARAMETERS OPERATIONAL RANGES
Temperature 50 – 60 deg.C
PH 4.5 – 5.0; best at 4.8
Liquid to goods ratio
Fabric 8:1 to 15:1
Garment 6:1 to 10:1
FINOZYME AX 0.5% - 3% on weight of garment
Time 30 to 60 minutes
   

For drum washers try to maintain a low garment liquor ratio for best results. In fabric processing follow the minimum F/L ratio recommended by equipment manufacturer. Unlike many BioFinishing Process Cellulases FINOZYME AX can run at 60 deg.C, thereby offering an approximate of 25% saving in dosage or time.

Softening :

     

FINOZYME AX effectively softens fabrics/ garments made up of cellulose and its blends imparting a silky soft permanent finish. FINOZYME AX can be applied on any wet processing step in the garment Finishing Process process.

     

Optional: FINOZYME AX can be applied after preparation/ bleaching, either as a separate process or in conjuction with garment Dyeing Process (more suitable with bifunctional reactive dyes). However, with FINOZYME AX bio-Finishing Process , fabrics/ garments may also be processed after Dyeing Process.

Fuzz/ Pill Ball Removal :

     
Using the above process parameters 0.5% -2% owg FINOZYME AX has been found effective in the removal of fuzz balls and fuzziness when run for 15 to 20 minutes.
     
4

Denim Washing :

Effective desizing is required for efficient denim washing.

PARAMETERS OPERATIONAL RANGES
Temperature 50 – 55°C; best at 52°C
PH 4.5 – 5.0; best at 4.8
FINOZYME AX 6.5 : 1 to 10:1
Time 30 to 60 minutes
   

FINOZYME AX can also be used with pumice stones.

     

Removal of loose stains:

     

Follow-up enzyme process with a hot (60 – 70 deg.C) detergent wash. Can be optional if followed up by bleaching.

     
NOTE : The above information is in good faith but without warranty.
     

Check the ‘weight loss’, ‘strength loss’ and the ‘look’ you achieve before committing to volume production.

   
The liquid ratio should allow free movement of the goods, but should be low enough to create the required mechanical action.
   
Regulate liquor ratio with respect to enzyme activity/ backstaining/ patchiness-streaks
   

Caution:

     

Avoid direct steam injection into the enzyme bath, ionic charged chemicals and exposure to heavy metals.

     

Inactivation

     

FINOZYME AX can be inactivated by raising the temperature above 70 deg.C or pH above 8.0 or combination of the two. However if the very next step is detergent washing inactivation is not necessary.

     

Storage Condition

     

FINOZYME AX has less than 10% activity loss after four months when stored at 30 deg.C out of direct sunlight and in the original, closed container.

     
NOTE :

The above information is in good faith but without warranty.
