Environmentally friendly fabric finishes

De Smet, D. Weydts, M. Vanneste Centexbel, Textile Competence Centre, Ghent, Belgium [Pg.3]

To avoid water emission and its chemical load and to reduce energy and water consumption and waste production, new chemicals were developed that are reusable, water-free, biobased, or biodegradable. Many of these chemicals were developed for other sectors and the implementation in textiles is not always obvious (i.e., flexibility, haptic, and wash resistance). [Pg.3]

The textile industry requires large amounts of water, energy, and auxiliary chemicals [147]. The search for environmental-friendly methods has lead to the utilization of enzymes. Several enzymes have been used in textile processes in order to achieve improved and fashionable fabric properties. Among other enzymes for textile processing, amylases (used for desizing), cellulases (denim finishing), laccase (decolourization of textile effluents and textile bleaching) are commercially available [148, 149]. [Pg.906]
