  • Continuous biopolishing of cellulose-containing fabrics
    Patent number: 6126698
    Abstract: A method for continuously biopolishing cellulose-containing fabrics is disclosed. This method involves (a) contacting the fabric with a cellulase having low affinity for cellulose and (b) subjecting the contacted fabric to high temperature. Treatment of the cellulose-containing material may be carried out as an additional step or a combined step with chemical preparation, dyeing, printing and finishing. This treatment results in excellent pilling performance, minimal loss in fabric strength and weight, and better wettability.
