Abstract

Bu çalışmada denim sektörünün en önemli adımlarından biri olan taş yıkama prosesine alternatif olabilecek bir susuz enzim yıkama prosesi geliştirilmiştir. Bu kapsamda 3 farklı kumaş içeriği ve 4 farklı susuz yıkama enzimi kullanılmış olup yıkama sonrası elde edilen ürünler görsellik ve mukavemet açısından konvansiyonel taş yıkama yapılmış ürünlerle karşılaştırılmıştır. Yapılan fiziksel performans ve görsel testlerin sonuçları geliştirilen susuz enzim yıkama işleminin taş yıkama prosesinin yerini alabileceğini göstermiştir. Bunun yanı sıra ürün bazında 12 litreye kadar su tasarrufu sağlanmış ve ponza taşının kullanımı tamamen ortadan kaldırılmıştır. Böylece doğal kaynak tüketimi azaltılırken ürün maliyetlerinin de düşmesi sağlanmıştır.

Effects of Anhydrous Enzymes Usage in Denim Washing on Fabric Tear Strength

Abstract

In this study, an anhydrous enzyme washing process was produced as an alternative for stone washing which is one of the major steps of denim production. For this concept, 3 different fabric contents and 4 different anhydrous washing enzymes were used, the visual appearance as well as the strength of the products that was obtained after washing were compared with the products that was made with conventional stone washing. The results of the physical performance and visual tests showed that the developed anhydrous enzyme washing process can replace the stone washing process. In addition, up to 12 liters of water was saved on a product basis and the use of pumice stone was completely eliminated. Therefore, product costs were also reduced while natural resource consumption was reduced.
