Fibre52: Chemical and enzymatic pretreatment chemistry
Step:
Pretreatment
Applications:
Raw Material:
Cellulosics
Construction:
Knit
Replacement for:
Traditional cellulosic pretreatment systems
Fibre52’s patented Prepare for Dye (PFD), and dyeing process is designed to optimise time, water, and electricity usage, while improving dyeability and quality. This method enables cotton preparation using existing machinery without the need for harsh chemicals. The biochemistries in Fibre52 remove impurities while preserving cotton’s softness, resilience, and breathability. Implementing the Fibre52 PFD and dye process reduces effluent, water, and energy consumption, while maintaining quality standards. The chemistry is ZDHC certified, ensuring compliance with environmental safety standards.
Substrate Tested:
Raw Material:
Cotton
Construction:
Knit
Benchmarks:
Conventional pretreatment with Caustic & Peroxide (including neutralising and dyeing)
Location: India
Scope:
Pretreatment (Including neutralisation & washing)
Key Findings:
Performance: Process is consistently repeatable, reliable, and effective across all shades. Maintains quality and natural characteristics of cotton.
