Stone Wash Enzyme SILIT®-2100+: The Green Catalyst Revolutionizing Denim Finishing

Release time：2025-01-04

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
