Introduction :

Americos Bio-Gloss XL is a bio-polishing enzyme. The term bio-polishing refers to the removal of fluffy fibers / protruding fibers from the surface of fabric by enzymatic hydrolysis. Such bio-polishing results in clear fabric surface. Americos Bio-Gloss XL has three different enzyme activities: Exo-Cellulase, Endo-Cellulase and ß-Glucosidase which makes Americos Bio-Gloss XL especially suitable for all kinds of cellulosic fibers.

Americos Bio-Gloss XL enzymatically hydrolyses the protruding fibers and loosen their ends. The removal of such hydrolyzed fibers requires mechanical agitation. Hence, the machines like soft-flow, jet and wash wheel, which produce mechanical agitation, are more suitable for bio-polishing.

Advantages :

• Clear fabric surface
• Reduced pilling
• mproved softness and smoothens
• Improved drape

Introduction :
Americos Biofade N30 is a concentrated, engineered component cellulase. It is produced by neutral process and biodegradable. The product is designed to be formulated in to products that fill the needs of fabric and garment processer. It gives consistently good performance and it has excellent shelf life in normal room temperature. Americos Biofade N30 especially suitable for all kinds of cellulosic fibers.

Americos Biofade N30 enzymatically hydrolyses the protruding fibers and loosens their ends. The removal of such hydrolyzed fibers requires mechanical agitation. Hence, the machines like soft-flow, jet and wash wheel, which produce mechanical agitation, are more suitable for bio-polishing.

Advantages :

• Excellent fabric surface polishing
• Reduced pilling
• Improved softness and smoothens
• Improved drape
• Preserve more fabric strength
• Minimize shade change

Applications :
Americos Biofade N30 is applied on fabric / garment in soft flow, rotary drum washer with high mechanical action.

Americos Biofade N30 specially designed for bio-finishing I. e, softening, surface fiber removal, de-pilling, off cotton and other cellulosic fabrics and garments.

Recipe :

Introduction :

Americos Cellscos 450 AP is a highly concentrated acid cellulase enzyme (NCU activity - 2,15,000) produced by genetically modified strains of Trichoderma Reesei. It is cost effective for denim material.

Americos Cellscos 450 AP aggressively hydrolyses yarn surface by attacking the 1, 4 beta glycoside linkage of cellulose, yielding soluble products such as short-chain polysaccharides and glucose. This action loosens the indigo dye layer on yarn surface, which is subsequently more easily removed by mechanical action of the machine. After desired degree of abrasion is achieved, the deactivation of enzyme is recommended.

Advantages :

• High contrast with acceptable strength loss
• Better and bigger granular effect
• Even abrasion
• Improves touch and drape of garments
• pH range (4.5 - 5.5)

Properties:

Storage & Handling Precautions:

• Store in cool place.
• Avoid storing in direct sunlight.
• The shelf-life of Americos Cellscos 450 AP is one year if stored below 40°C.
• The usual precautions for keeping chemicals away from eyes and skin should be observed.
