I. Core Mechanisms of Stone Wash Enzyme SILIT®-2100+
Stone Wash Enzyme SILIT®-2100+ (primarily cellulase-based composite biocatalysts) enable efficient color fading and texture enhancement by selectively degrading cellulose fibers on denim surfaces. Key principles include:
- Targeted Fiber Degradation: Under pH 4.5-5.5 and 45-55°C conditions, cellulase cleaves cellulose chains, disrupting indigo dye bonding for uniform fading13.
- Synergy with Physical Abrasion: Combined with pumice stones or artificial abrasives, enzymes accelerate localized dye removal, creating natural wear patterns and enhancing gray-white contrasts34.
- Low-Temperature Efficiency: Enzymatic reactions activate at lower temperatures, reducing energy consumption by 30% compared to chemical bleaching45.
II. Technical Advantages of Granular Enzymes
As a granular enzyme exporter, our products are optimized for industrial applications with distinct competitive edges:
Feature | Traditional Liquid Enzymes | Granular Enzymes |
Stability | Liquid form (requires cold chain) | Solid granules (stable ≤50°C)56 |
Dissolution Speed | Slow activation (15-30 min) | Rapid release (≤3 min in water)57 |
Eco-Friendliness | Contains preservatives (high COD) | Additive-free, 40% faster biodegradation24 |
Versatility | Limited to denim washing | Compatible with denim, cotton, industrial filters5 |
