Enzymes, are used extensively within this industry, and
can be classified into two major groups, Amylases and Cellulases which are
used for de-sizing and stonewashing. Denykem supplies a range of products
for these purposes, the preferred type for stonewashing is Neutral cellulase,
designed to add abrasion and character to the garments without damaging
the integrity of the fabric. These can be operated in a wide variety of
conditions.

| Also
supplied, are a range of Acid and Hybrid Cellulases, which are used for
stonewashing, de-pilling and bio-polishing, on a selection of cellulosic
fabric types. To fulfil all the customer requirements, Denykem can design
and blend specific products to ensure customer satisfaction. Denykem
formulations can be supplied as liquid, granular, powders or fully granulated
dust free products, depending upon customer requirements, packaged in
a variety of ways. The powdered products can also be supplied pre-weighed
in water-soluble plastic bags, designed to reduce the need for measuring
and handling. In addition to Denykems fully built blends, we can also
supply cellulase concentrates for customers to blend their own formulations.
Surfactants.
Substances, which act at interfaces to alter surface tensions, are termed
surface-active agents or surfactants. They include materials, which improve
wet-ability, loosen and remove soil, and emulsify or suspend particulate
matter.
The
applications of surfactants are widely distributed throughout science,
technology and everyday life. It is this great diversity of applications,
which make surfactants so important. Surfactants are generally classified
by their ionic properties in water. Anionic - carry a negative
charge; have excellent cleaning properties and are high foaming. Non-ionic
- carry no charge, are resistant to water hardness; clean well on most
soils and are low foaming. Cat-ionic - carry a positive charge
and are used in fabric softeners and disinfecting products. Amphoteric
- carry a charge dependent upon the pH of the liquor and are used for
their mildness and foaming stability. Denykem offers a range of surfactants
and anti-redeposition agents suited to any wash conditions.

Colour Tints. Denykem markets a range of Tinting
products, as an intermediate stage between stonewashed and fully over-dyed
garments, designed to add a coloured cast without masking the textured
appeal of a rinsed, stonewashed or bleached cotton jean.
Auxiliaries, Softeners. To compliment our product
range, Denykem produces a variety of auxiliaries and softeners. When
used in conjunction with our cellulases and surfactants, these products
complete the package required to turn a raw garment into the fully
finished article. |
