Enzymatic Bleaching

CD BioSciences provides cutting-edge enzymatic bleaching solutions tailored to the unique needs of textile manufacturers. Our services are designed to help textile mills, dye houses, and apparel brands achieve superior bleaching results while minimizing their environmental footprint. By harnessing the power of natural enzymes, we enable our clients to produce high-quality fabrics with reduced water and energy consumption, less fiber damage, and significantly lower chemical waste.

• Pectinases: These enzymes target pectin, a complex carbohydrate found in plant-based fibers like cotton and linen. Pectin contributes to the natural off-white color of these fibers, and its removal enhances the brightness and receptivity to dyes.
• Amyloglucosidases: Starch residues from sizing agents can interfere with the bleaching process. Amyloglucosidases efficiently break down these residues, ensuring uniform and consistent bleaching.
• Glucose Oxidases: These enzymes play a crucial role in generating hydrogen peroxide in a controlled and localized manner. This controlled release of hydrogen peroxide aids in the bleaching process while minimizing fiber damage and reducing the overall amount of peroxide required.

• Cotton Processing: A cornerstone of sustainable cotton bleaching, this process yields brighter whites and reduces the need for harsh chemicals.
• Denim Finishing: Used to create unique fading effects and reduce the environmental impact of denim production.
• Linen and Hemp: Enzymatic bleaching enhances the quality and appearance of these natural fibers while minimizing environmental impact.
• Other Plant-Based Fibers: Suitable for a variety of plant-based textiles, including bamboo, ramie, and jute.

• Reduced Water Consumption: Can reduce water usage by up to 50% compared to conventional peroxide bleaching.
• Lower Energy Use: Milder reaction conditions and shorter processing times contribute to lower energy requirements.
• Minimized Chemical Waste: Reduces the need for harsh chemicals and generates less wastewater, minimizing pollution and environmental burden.
• Improved Effluent Quality: The biodegradable nature of enzymes leads to less toxic effluent, making it easier to treat and discharge responsibly.

• Enzymatic Desizing: We utilize amylase enzymes to remove starch-based sizes from textiles, ensuring improved and uniform wet processing at low temperatures (30-60ºC) and optimal pH levels of 5.5-6.5. This process is specific to starch, ensuring no damage to the fabric itself.
• Enzymatic Scouring: Our bioscouring process removes non-cellulosic materials from the surface of cotton using a combination of cellulase and pectinase enzymes. This process effectively digests pectin and primary wall cellulose, removing the cotton cuticle structure without affecting the fabric's integrity.
• Enzymatic Bleaching: We offer enzymatic bleaching as an alternative to traditional chemical methods, using enzymes like amyloglucosidases, pectinases, and glucose oxidases. This system is compatible with various pH and temperature ranges, leading to less fiber damage and significant savings on washing water.
• Biopolishing: Our biopolishing service improves fabric quality by reducing fuzziness and pilling through the action of cellulase enzymes. This process results in a cleaner surface, cooler feel, increased lustre, and softer touch.
