A USEFUL FIRST STEP
Start with a brief.
Build the evidence.
Free samples are available for qualified commercial trials after an application review. Sample selection, quantity, delivery and the trial method are agreed before dispatch.
Plan the next step ↗- Describe your application.
Fibre type, fabric construction, size or finish chemistry, equipment, pH, temperature and required finish.
- Agree the trial conditions.
Include the material, scale, pH, temperature, contact time and any existing process chemicals.
- Define a useful result.
Choose the comparison, controls and measurements that will guide your next decision.
BEFORE YOU START
The details
that matter.
Can enzymes be used on every fibre?
No. Select the activity for the fibre and target material. Treatments for cellulosic fabrics should not be assumed suitable for other fibres.
How do I avoid excessive fabric treatment?
Define strength and appearance acceptance criteria, then screen dose and time against a representative control.
Are sample trials available for mills?
Qualified commercial mill trials can be discussed after reviewing your process and intended supply volume.
Do you offer bulk supply and tailored blends?
Send your application, required quantity, specifications and delivery destination. We will review a suitable supply or development route and provide a quotation.
