What is bleach clean-up?
How can enzymes help?
Consistent dyeing is vital for textile manufacturing and is directly related to the quality of the end-product. Natural fabrics are often bleached to obtain the best shade, but bleaches like hydrogen peroxide are highly reactive chemicals. Even the smallest traces of bleach can interfere with the dyeing process cause uneven colors on the fabric. That’s why it is essential to remove all hydrogen peroxide before dyeing a textile.
Novozymes Terminox® is an enzymatic solution that is up for the task of bleach clean-up. This unique catalase removes even the smallest traces of bleach by breaking down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, leaving textiles ready for consistent, even batch-to-batch dyeing reproducibility.
