Enzymes for all types of fabrics

Silvateam has several types of enzymes for the textile industry.

Silvasi is a range of alpha-amylases for desizing. These enzymes are resistant to high temperatures and suitable for pressing and steaming.

Silvadenim GN is a neutral cellulase powder for stonewash denim treatment which is characterised by a high contrast effect and low backstaining of the indigo.

Silvadenim GL is the aggressive liquid and acid cellulase, for fast and economical use. It is recommended for surface fibre removal and depilling on a variety of cellulosic fibres and garments using small dosages.

Silvalan is a protease, available in liquid form and suitable for surface treatment and anti-pilling for wool. It confers a good soft touch to the finished product.

The following table shows the enzymes with their main technical characteristics. Silvateam technicians will be pleased to provide customers all the information necessary for the use of these products.
