Consequences of Enzyme Rinse on Physical Properties of Knit Garments (original) (raw)

The use of enzymes in the textile chemical processing is rapidly gaining globally recognition because of their non-toxic and eco-friendly characteristics with the increasingly important requirements for textile manufactures to reduce pollution in textile production. Furthermore, the use of enzymes results in reduced process times, energy and water savings, improved product quality and potential process integration. Variation of knit fabric and enzyme concentration is taken to do this project. The aim is to know the effect of enzyme concentration on the physical properties of knit garments of various constructions. In this project 0.4 g/l and 0.5 g/l enzyme concentration is taken to wash Single Jersey and Rib fabric. Then to see the effect of enzyme concentration on the physical properties of Single Jersey and Rib fabric some tests like GSM, Bursting strength, Dimensional Stability and Pilling are done. The results of before and after enzyme wash is compared to know the effect of concentration of enzyme on the physical properties of Single Jersey and Rib fabric. After enzyme wash GSM of the fabric increases, Dimensional Stability and Bursting strength decreases and pilling formation on the fabric surface also decreases.
