Definition
|
To minimize the adverse effect of stone wash, the garments are washed by using enzyme. Enzyme breaks the surface cellulose fibers of the fabric and removes during washing.
|
The appearance of natural cellulosic material such as cotton can be improved through an enzymatic treatment. This is known as bio wash or bio polishing.
|
|
02
|
Removing
equipment from the garments |
During enzyme wash, certain amount of indigo dye and cellulose fibers from the surface of the fabric are removed.
|
The bio polishing treatment remove the fuzz and pilling from the fabric surface and gives the fabric a softer and smoother handle, superior color brightness and glossier appearance.
|
|
03
|
Size of enzyme
molecule |
The cellulose enzyme molecule is not so large than bio polishing enzyme molecule.
|
The cellulose enzyme molecule is too large to penetrate the interior of a cotton fiber.
|
|
04
|
Fading of color
|
Fading due to removal of color with the fibers due to mechanical abrasion takes place.
|
For bio polishing wash, no color fading is formed.
