  • Method of obtaining a cellulosic textile fabric with reduced tendency to pilling formation
    Patent number: 5916798
    Abstract: A method for obtaining a cellulosic textile fabric having a strongly reduced tendency to pilling formation, preferably corresponding to a pilling note of at least 4, more preferably of at least 4.5, which method comprises treating the fabric with a cellulase capable of performing a partial hydrolysis of the fibre surface corresponding to a <2% weight loss based on the untreated cellulosic textile fabric. The cellulase is preferably a 43 kD endoglucanase derived from or producible by Humicola insolens, DSM 1800, SEQ ID NO:1, or a functional analogue of said cellulase such as a variant which is modified by substitution of one or more amino acid residues in one or more of the positions 8, 55, 58, 62, 67, 132, 147, 162, 221, 222, 223, 280; or modified by truncation, preferably genetically truncation, at any position from position 213.
