Enzymes
for Fibre Processing brochure (pdf)
Iogen specializes in fibre processing, not just the
manufacture of enzymes.
The cost of manufacturing goods from plant fibre is
a function of many factors, including the fibre's character
and the processing methods used. The ability to change
the fibre itself or its processing method without impacting
product quality offers the potential to reduce the total
cost of production and decrease the environmental impact
of fibre processing industries.
Iogen produces fibre-digesting enzymes used by the
textile industry to improve the properties of its products.
Iogen's enzymes enable fabric and garment manufacturers
to maintain the integrity of their materials, while
attaining desirable qualities, such as softness, a smooth
finish, and the fashionable "stone-washed"
look of denim. The abrading effect of Iogen's products
makes commercial finishes more practical and can reduce
manufacturing costs. As well, the environmental impacts
associated with the use of pumice stones traditionally
used in the textiles industry are reduced.
Iogen produces two lines of enzymes for the textiles
industry:
DenabraideŽ
- Used in denim processing to substitute or enhance
the performance of pumice stones which fade and soften
fabric
- Available in liquid and granulates
FibrilaseŽ
- Used to soften fabrics and remove or prevent the
formation of tiny balls or fuzz on garments
- Available in liquid
Iogen enzyme products are sold to companies that formulate
and distribute products to end users, ranging from large
integrated garment and textile manufacturers, to small
local laundries and dye houses.
