Effects of Anhydrous Enzymes Usage in Denim Washing on Fabric Tear Strength

Abstract

In this study, an anhydrous enzyme washing process was produced as an alternative for stone washing which is one of the major steps of denim production. For this concept, 3 different fabric contents and 4 different anhydrous washing enzymes were used, the visual appearance as well as the strength of the products that was obtained after washing were compared with the products that was made with conventional stone washing. The results of the physical performance and visual tests showed that the developed anhydrous enzyme washing process can replace the stone washing process. In addition, up to 12 liters of water was saved on a product basis and the use of pumice stone was completely eliminated. Therefore, product costs were also reduced while natural resource consumption was reduced.

Denim Ürünlerde Permanganatsız ve Taşsız Ekolojik Kar Yıkama Proses Optimizasyonu ve Atık Su Üzerine Etkilerinin İncelenmesi

“…Bu nedenle pek çok parametre renk üzerinde etkilidir. Denim ürünlerin endüstriyel yıkama prosesleri, kuru ve yaş işlemler olmak üzere iki gruba ayrılmaktadır [1]. Kuru işlemler zımpara, bıyık, hasar, kılçık ve lazer operasyonlarıdır.…”
