Introduction | CEP-01 is a highly concentrated neutral cellulase preparation designed specifically for the denim abrasion process. It is recommended for formulations used in bio-washing denim garments to impart a high abrasion and fading effect. It can also be used for processing cotton, hemp, viscose, yarn, and lyocell. |
Mechanism | Cellulose is a glucose polymer linked with β-1,4-glycosidic bonds. The cellulase system consists of three major components: endoglucanase (endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase or EG), cellobiohydrolases (exo-1,4-β-D-glucanases or CX, or CBH), and β-glucosidases (1,4-β-D-glucosidase; BG; BGL). These activities work synergistically on cellulose to efficiently convert it into glucose. The product is designed to enzymatically abrade denim without harming the fabric. |
Benefits |
Excellent bio-polishing effect. Clean and even fabric surface. Softer hand feel. Brighter colors. Environmentally friendly and biodegradable. |
