Description:
Cellulase enzyme TS-9 is an engineered cellulase designed for textile applications such as fabric and garment biofinishing (i.e. depilling, surface modifications and softening) and is supplied as a concentrated liquid. Cellulase enzyme TS-9 is also suitable for denim washing.
Typical Characteristics

Applications
Cellulase enzyme TS-9 is suitable for biofinishing (i.e. softening, surface fiber removal, depilling) of various types of cellulosic fabrics and garments. Biopolishing can be arranged either before or after dying, depending on the desired effects.
Typical biopolishing conditions
Equipment overflow, winch, jet dying machines or laundry washer.
Dosage 0.3-2.0% o.w.f
Liquor ratio 1:5 – 1:20
pH 4.5 – 5.5
TMP 45 - 60℃
Treatment time 30 - 60 mins.
Enzyme Inactivation
All cellulase enzymes should be inactivated after the desired effect is obtained. Insufficient inactivation can result in extended exposure of the garment or fabric to active cellulase. This unintended exposure can cause undesirable strength loss.
Cellulase enzyme TS-9 can be inactived by one of the following procedures.
hold the bath at pH≥10 for 10 minutes. Sodium carbonate is recommended for pH adjustment
hold the temperature ≥ 70℃ for 10 minutes.
Packaging
Standard packaging is 30kg or 200kg drum
Storage
To ensure extend shelf life, store Cellulase enzyme TS-9 at 25℃or below in a sealed container. Exposure of this product to elevated temperatures for prolonged periods of time may result in loss of activity.
Safety Enzyme Handing
Inhalation of enzyme dust and mists should be avoided. In case of contact with skin or eyes, promptly rinse with water for at least 15 minutes.
