Cellulase FAQ Series 2：Will the fabric be damaged after using neutral cellulase?

By Baico Biotech | Textile Enzyme

During the dyeing process, neutral cellulase is the commonly used enzyme for fabrics. It is used for polishing, removing the hair on the surface of the fabric, making the fabric smoother. Thus, we will face a problem. Will the fabric be damaged after using neutral cellulase? Under normal use, neutral cellulase enzyme will not damage the fabric. Instead, it can improve the fabric's performance. However, improper use may have an impact on some materials. For example, using an excessively high concentration of enzyme or an overly long action time.

Why won't the fabric be damaged under normal use?

In the textile industry, neutral cellulase and granule neutral cellulase is often used in the bio polishing of denim fabric and the cotton fabric. During the process, the concentration, temperature, PH range and action time of the enzyme are strictly controlled. It is ensured that it only acts on the surface of the fibers without affecting the main structure of the fabric.

Base on what circumstances could the fabric be damaged?

If pure cotton or linen materials (which are cellulase-based) come into contact with high-concentration enzymes and remain in contact for a long time, it may cause a slight decrease in the strength of the fibers. If the fabric itself has undergone chemical treatment, such as coating or hardening treatment, the neutral cellulase enzymes may damage the surface treatment layer, indirectly affecting the fabric's performance. However, this is a matter of process compatibility rather than direct damage to the fibers by the enzymes.

When using neutral cellulase, you should process the fabric according to the temperature, PH range and action time specified in the TDS. BBT granular neutral cellulase works within a wide pH range and temperature range. It can precisely polish and remove the hair from the fabric. Granule neutral enzyme can also reduce the loss of fabric weight. We have been specializing in enzyme preparations for 21 years, starting from 2004.
