Desizing with enzymes<br />
Case illustration:<br />
Desizing with enzymes on<br />
continuous line<br />
Concept In some companies, desizing of woven fabrics with potassium persulfate or<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r oxidizing agents is taking place; a relatively slow and highly chemical<br />
consuming process. In some cases, desizing with enzymes (amylases) could<br />
lead <strong>to</strong> a more environmental friendly process and a very low process time.<br />
Improvement potentials Reduction of environmental impact and process time. Process time can be<br />
reduced from 12-24 h using oxidizing agent, <strong>to</strong> 10-15 min using enzymes.<br />
Relevance Companies engaged in desizing of woven fabrics.<br />
