Genencor Launches Primafast Luna, A Cellulase Product Line For Efficient Biofinishing Of Fabrics And Garments

Rochester, NY - Genencor launched recently a new product line for the Textile Biofinishing market, Primafast Luna. This product range offers an advantage in terms of fabric surface defibrillation efficacy, while minimizing the shade change of colored fabrics during biofinishing, and rendering improved strength retention to the treated fabrics and garments, claims the company. These benefits allow Textile Chemical Formulators to develop cellulase-based formulations that can be used for biofinishing after the dyeing process, adds the company.

Primafast Luna products are very light in color because they consist of a high-purity enzyme protein and they do not contain any added artificial colorants. The high purity of the Luna products will ensure a consistently good product quality, ease of blending with other chemicals, and excellent storage stability. In addition, Primafast Luna products have been stabilized with state-of-the-art formulation technology, a feature that Genencor's textile cellulase products have always been renowned for.

Primafast Luna products can be used in a variety of conditions giving flexibility to choose the parameters most suitable for fabric quality and optimal biofinishing. With this new product line, Genencor is setting a new industry standard for biofinishing cellulases and is broadening its product portfolio.

"Many fabric and garment processors have had the need to perform the biofinishing process after dyeing of their garments, yet this impaired the shade of the fabric," said John Gell, Vice President Textiles and Industrial Specialties at Genencor. "Today, we are delivering to the free market a product line that provides flexibility to processors to carry out biofinishing after dyeing with minimal color change while retaining the strength properties of the treated fabric."

Genencor offers value-added solutions for a wide variety of textile processing applications, such as biofinishing, denim processing, desizing and peroxide elimination.
