Dyadic :
Utilizing its proprietary technology, Dyadic has manufactured and sold enzymes
for the textiles, animal feed, starch, pulp and paper and food industries, since
1994. Dyadic's global market reach and manufacturing capabilities, paired with
its large scale 150,000 liter fermenters in the USA and Europe, enable it to
market and sell over 50 products to customers in more than 35 countries. Dyadic's
core business was initially focused on the textiles industry, providing jean
manufacturers with the pumice stones needed for stonewashing denim garments.
Building on the company's success with pumice, Dyadic added several chemical
auxiliaries to its product line. Enzyme manufacturing filled a need within the
textiles industry by providing high quality acid and neutral cellulase enzymes
at competitive prices. Today, Dyadic discovers, develops, manufactures and markets
a full range of products to meet your enzyme needs for the manufacturing of
textiles.

Enzyme Services and Consultancy
(United Kingdom) Enzymes have been used in the leather industry for many years
and more recently have been introduced into modern textile industries. The main
applications of enzymes in the leather industry are proteases which help in
the dehairing of the animal hides and lipases are used for degreasing. In the
modern textile industry enzymes are used increasingly in the finishing of fabrics
and clothes. The main component of cotton and other natural fibres is cellulose.
Whilst most of the fibres are arranged as long, straight chains some small fibres
can protrude from the yarn or fabric. The correct application of a cellulase
enzyme can remove these rough protruberances giving a smoother, glossier brighter
colored fabric. This technique has become known as Biopolishing and results
in not only a softer fabric but also improved color brightness. The same process
has recently been adapted and included in some laundry detergents. The finishing
of denim jeans has also become a popular application for cellulases in the textile
industry. Traditionally denim was was stonewashed with pumice stones to fade
the surface of the garment. A small application of cellulase can replace many
of the stones resulting in less damage to the garments and machinery. This technique
has become known as Biostoning and can result in much greater fading without
high abrasive damage both to the actual fabric and any other accessories (buttons,
rivets) on the fabric. Stonewashing enzymes are usually available as either "acid"
cellulases (optimum activity around 4.5) and "neutral" cellulases
(optimum activity at just below pH 7.0).

: They provide a range of enzymes like amylases, cellulases, catalase,
pectinase and protease for various textile wet-processing applications like
desizing, bio-polishing, denim finishing, bleach clean-up, bio-scouring
and de-wooling. Desizing For fabrics made from cotton or blends, the warp
threads are coated with an adhesive substance know as 'size
; to prevent the threads breaking during weaving. Although many different
compounds have been used to size fabrics, starch and its derivatives have
been the most common sizing agent. After weaving, the size must be removed
again in order to prepare the fabric for dyeing and finishing. This process
(desizing) must be carried out by treating the fabric with chemicals such
as acids, alkali or oxidising agents. However starch
breaking enzymes (amylases) are preferred for desizing due to their high
efficiency and specific action. Amylases bring about complete removal of
the size without any harmful effects on the fabric. Another benefit of enzymes
compared to strong chemicals mentioned above is that enzymes are environment
friendly.

Textan Chemical
: TEXTAN CHEMICALS took up the challenging task of carving a niche
for itself in the competitive field of Leather auxiliaries. Today, discerning
customers in India and abroad, rely on us for quality, economy and uninterrupted
supply of chemicals. The export oriented leather industry in India has benefited
enormously, as these chemicals were not manufactured in the country earlier.
The long list of eminent customers who have engaged TEXTAN as their permanent
supplier can vouch for our claims. Recently TEXTAN has diversified into
the field of Textile auxiliaries. They are one of the very few manufacturers
of textile stone washing enzymes and desizing enzymes in India. Building
on the core competency achieved in enzyme production, the Textile division
was started in 1996 to manufacture and supply desizing and stone washing
enzymes, textile binders, cationic softeners, dye fixing agents and other
textile auxiliaries. Within a short period, they
have been able to carve a niche for ourselves in this competitive field
too, due to our quality, timely deliveries and economic supplies.
