Neutral Cellulase Granulate Enzyme for Textile Bio-Washing Process of Denim Garments
Introduction
Conzyme® TM600 is a concentrated granular neutral cellulase preparation designed specifically for the denim abrasion process. It is recommended for formulations used in the bio-washing of denim garments, imparting a high abrasion and fading effect. It can also be used for processing cotton, hemp, viscose, yarn, and Lyocell.

Definition of Unit: 1 unit of CMCase equals the amount of enzyme that hydrolyzes CMC-Na to produce 1 μg of reducing sugar (glucose) in 1 minute at 50℃ and pH 6.0. Color can vary from batch to batch, and color intensity does not indicate enzyme activity.
Mechanism
Cellulose is a glucose polymer linked with β-1,4-glycosidic bonds. The cellulase system consists of three major components: endoglucanase (endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase or EG), cellobiohydrolases (exo-1,4-β-D-glucanases, or CX, or CBH), and β-glucosidases (1,4-β-D-glucosidase; BG; BGL). These activities work synergistically on cellulose, efficiently converting it into glucose. The product is designed to enzymatically abrade denim without harming the fabric.
Application Recommendation
| PARAMETERS | RANGE |
| Activity Temperature | 40-60℃ |
| Optimum Temperature | 50℃ |
| Activity pH | 5.0-7.0 |
| Optimum pH | 5.0-6.0 |
| Liquor ratio | 5:1-20:1 |
| Dosage | Denim: 0.1-0.3% owg |
| Time | 45-60 minutes |
| Inactivation | Raising the temperature above 80℃ for 10 minutes, or raising the pH above 8.0 for 10 minutes can completely inactivate Conzyme®TM600. |
