Finishing with enzymes bio-finishes for cellulose

Cellulases Bio-finishing, bio-polishing, anti-pilling, softness, smoothness, lustre improvement and stone-washed effects on denim 

Amylases Standard procedure for the removal of starch warp size 

Pectinases Hydrolysis of pectins, for example in cotton preparation and retting of flax and hemp 

Catalases Catalyse the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, important before reactive dying or printing of peroxide bleached fabrics and yarn 

Peroxidases Used as an enzymatic rinse process after reactive dyeing, oxidative splitting of hydrolysed reactive dyes on the fibre and in the liquor, providing better wet fastness, decolourised waste water and potentially toxic decomposition compounds (aromatic nitro-compounds)
