Novozymes has launched the first range of biopolishing fibers with Fiberlife® to minimize fuzz and pilling in viscose, modal and lyocell. Biopolishing enables enzymes to remove loose fiber ends, leaving a clean, new-looking surface, which lasts for at least 60 washes. It can also improve print quality in daily wash and wear.
Fiberlife®, gives MMCF fabrics the wash and wear durability that consumers demand, prolonging the time the garments look and feel new. This is a better solution for the fashion and broader textile industry, consumers, and the planet,” says Dina Lipp, Global Marketing Manager at Novozymes.
Novozymes has been working intensively on making MMCF biopolishing possible for viscose, modal and lyocell. It offers consumers longer lasting garments made of fibers from nature, says Pedro E. G. Loureiro, Global Business Development Manager, Novozymes.
Fiberlife® also helps textile producers improve on quality and sustainability while strengthening the connection towards a growing number of eco-conscious consumers.
