A suitable combination of Endo Glucanase and Cellobiohydrolase tenders micro-fibrils protruding from the surface of yarn in the wet process, and the weakened micro-fibrils break off from the main body of the fibre leaving a smoother yarn surface, preventing pilling. Bio-finishing also results in a softer, smoother and optically enhanced fabric.

Apart from Bio-polishing on the fabrics, this enzyme treatment offers a number of other benefits in physical properties such as improvement in pill resistance, cooler feel, luminosity of colors and softness etc.

PLX is engineered to offer below benefits on fabric:

• Aggressive de-pilling
• Efficient fuzz removal
• Superior Hand-feel
• Strong Color pull/ abrasion on Garments

At low dosages, Retrocell BPL removes surface fuzz under milder conditions and is absolutely safe, efficient and permanent. This enzyme gives fabrics a clear, even surface appearance. This treatment reduces tendency to pill and improve intrinsic softness of fabric, when compared to traditional softeners.

Once applied on fabric surface, it offers:

• Efficient Bio-polishing at Low Dosages
• Superior hand feel
• High Yield
• Controlled strength loss

PL 6X is concentrated form for Acid Biopolishing enzyme, meant for dilution only.  Diluted product may run between 4.5 to 5 pH and 55 to 60 Degree C temperature for 30 to 45 minutes to achieve following results:

• Aggressive fuzz removal
• Efficient Bio-finishing of fabric
• Highly effective for white Dyeing

Retrocell PL Eco G works efficiently at much wider pH ranges than conventional Acid Cellulase, removing the need for regular pH check after fabric dyeing or bleaching. Simplifying the Dyeing and polishing process into same bath, eliminating checks and drains, this special feature helps in drastically reducing fabric processing time and energy. This in turn results in consistency of end product after each batch and sigficant cost saving for processor.

PL Eco G demonstrates benefits as below:

• Robust Neutral Bio-polishing, needs least process control!
• Simplify Dyeing and Polishing by combining
• Better color retention
• Less Acid consumption
• Less strength loss over conventional Acid Cellulase treatment

CASE HISTORY

Mill Parameter

Capacity: 35 tons dyeing capacity/ day

Machine: Schlavos/ Fongs/ Thies

Fabric: Jersy/ Pique/ Lacoste/ Rib/ Interlock/ Fleece

Application: Once scouring-bleaching is done, PL Eco is dosed at 0.3% fabric wt/wt, run for 10 minutes in same bath. Then ran salt ( 10 mints)/ dyes ( 20 mints)/ labelling (10 mints) on subsequent addition. Once treatment is carried out for 40 minutes, water drained.

Retrocell^® PL Eco Plus is a concentrated Neutral Bio polish enzyme for fuzz removal on fabric for a clean and even surface appearance, at a wide range of pH (Neutral). This enzyme can be used in the Dye Bath, without the need of pH control and bath drop/change. Unlike softener, PL Eco Plus accomplish the jobs without polluting the environment and conserving precious resources like water, time and chemicals.

PL Eco Plus offers below advantages:

• Efficient fibril and pill balls removal at Low Dosages
• Simplify Dyeing and Polishing by combining
• Better color retention
• Less Acid consumption
• Less strength loss over conventional Acid Cellulase treatment

Usual chemical scouring followed by Mills, utilises harsh chemicals like Caustic to remove wax, pectin etc. from fabric. Harsh alkalys and oxidizers are known to be harmful for fabric, environment and individuals. Subsequent to Scouring, fabric is subjected to Biopolishing prior to Dyeing.

Epygen Scientists have developed a single step Bioscouring and Biopolishing enzyme Retrocell BSL, drastically simplifying the process.

This is a unique combination of Bio Scouring (Pectate Lyase) enzyme with enhanced Cellulase activity designed to remove pectin from grey fabric and microfibril from fabric surface in a synergistic manner.

BSL offers following benefits when used suitably:

• Efficient removal or Pectin/ Wax with other impurities from cotton
• Increase Yarn smoothness, pliability and absorbance
• Efficient De-pilling and pill ball removal
• Significant reduction of BOD/COD
• Saves Water/ Energy/Time and Chemicals

Epygen’s Retrox series of  Catalases are Oxido Reductase enzyme, efficiently decompose residual peroxide after bleaching, which otherwise may cause a patchy dyeing problems in mill. Epygen combines the biological processes of bleach clean-up and bio-polishing for an efficient process.

Being a combined biological process, this does not require excessive washing between the bleaching and dyeing stages.

SynerG is a unique combination of Biological Catalase & Cellulase activity,   allowing mill processors to carryout fuzz removal operation along with bleach clean up and Dyeing, all in one shot. This allows substantial saving in processing resources like time, water, energy and chemicals. The simplication of process reduces manpower cost and human error, delivering an overall improvement to mill efficiency.

Below are few advantages from SynerG:

• Increased production throughput
• Saving in time and fabric wet processing cost
• Even Dyeing
• Controlled strength loss of Fabric
• Reduced Human involvement and human error
• Improved effluent quality

Retrostar DA is a specially developed amylase for multipurpose de sizing with flexibility for Fabric/ Garments sized with starch, starch derivatives or starch polymer blends.

Few important features of Retrostar DA are:

• Efficient Enzymatic De sizing.
• Highly effective for exhaust, pad steam & cold/hot pad batch.
• Compatible with Textile wetting agents, detergents, scouring agents.

Retrocell NeoP is a formulated Neutral Cellulase consisting of pH stabilizing buffer, anti -redeposition agent and an efficient dispersing component, all in one product. NeoP is a true Neutral powder enzyme for stone wash effects on Denim Garments with a new improved wash look, in an eco-friendly way.

NeoP creates below wash effects, on Denim:

• High abrasion with lowest back staining
• Distinct white grains on Denim Garments
• Pepper-Salt effects
• High contrast with a superior finish
• Controlled fraying and weight loss

An engineered Cellulase combined with excellent dispersing agent, this enzyme has been designed to wash Denim/ Non-Denim at low temperature, resulting in abysmally low back staining and good contrast. Due to special type of engineered Cellulase, this product maintains dark indigo True Tone of Denim, with a greyish cast.
