Introduction | NCP-01 is a highly concentrated neutral cellulase preparation designed specifically for denim abrasion processes. 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). As illustrated in the diagram below, these activities work synergistically on cellulose and efficiently convert cellulose into glucose. The product is designed for the specified applications. |
Benefits |
High concentration Excellent abrasion effect Perfect processing efficiency with less processing time High color contrast finish and low degree of indigo back staining Optimum strength retention High degree of reproducibility and reliability Cost-effective solutions Environmentally friendly and biodegradable |

Safe Handling Precautions | Enzyme preparations are proteins that may induce sensitization and cause allergic-type symptoms in susceptible individuals. Prolonged contact may cause minor irritation for skin, eyes, or nasal mucosa. Direct contact with the human body should be avoided. If irritation or allergic response for skin or eyes develops, please consult a doctor. |
Storage | Keep sealed in a dry and cool place and avoid direct sunlight. Slight sedimentation is acceptable since it will not impact the performance of the product. |
Shelf Life | 9 months in a dry and cool place. |
