Enzymes for the Textile Industry in South Africa
Afrizymes eco friendly bacteria, enzyme and microbe bio chemical technology is based on biology and involves the use of living micro organisms to make eco friendly products. Living micro organisms grow and produce enzymes, its derivatives and other related matter for use in various industries. These bio products have a wide range of applications including medicine, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, food, fertilizer, aquaculture, textile, brewing, tanning, pulp and paper, environmental and waste water treatment, oil spill cleaning and even household and institutional maintenance. Bio enzyme and bacterial microbe technology draw on biological sciences including genetics, microbiology, animal cell culture, molecular biology, bio-chemistry, embryology, cell biology, ecology and often involves eco friendly chemical engineering, and bio-engineering.
Advantages of using enzymes for textile processing and the textile industry has been recognized and used throughout history. However, it was only quite recently that their importance was truly realized. Modern enzyme technology for the textile at industrial scale has been successfully used for decades. The enzymes for textile processing developed are purer, more stable, more efficient and able to withstand a wide range of conditions including higher temperatures. Enzymatic action for the textile industry and textile processing can be applied in most stages of its production and range from de-sizing, bio-washing, bio-finishing, dyeing to name a few. Afrizymes have developed and produced many types and blends of enzyme for textile mills ever since it stated operations. The various products develop for used in textile industry include enzymes for textile de-starching, acid cellulase for bio-polishing, neutral cellulase for stone-washing and more. The various advantages and benefits are widely recognized in this important industry by the growing list of our company’s clientele.
Advances in bio-technology allow our company to vigorously improve quality, production methods and production rate, and thereby potentially lower prices for textile processing. It has made possible for our company to develop of new products, currently in progress and will be soon available for global market in this highly changing and demanding industry.
