What is CombiPolish®?
How it works
Knitting mills save 15% water and time with CombiPolish®
Biopolishing can be done in different steps during cotton processing - either in knitting mills or laundries.
In knitting mills, Novozymes CombiPolish® can be done so that the biopolishing step is combined with bleach-clean up in the dye bath. This easy-to-use process involves a cellulase enzyme specially developed to work at neutral pH and to be compatible with the salts and dyestuff in the dyebath.
The CombiPolish® process saves approximately 15% of the total water used and 15% of the time for making cotton knits. The process is patented by Novozymes.

Cellusoft® LT is a robust enzyme that works at a pH of 5.5-8.0 and at temperatures as low as 30-40°C. Such gentle processing protects fabrics, which lose less weight and strength compared to traditional acid cellulases, and retain the best color and whiteness.
Benefits of Cellusoft®
- Works at the gentlest processing conditions
- Low weight and strength loss
- Can be used before, during and after dyeing
