Study on Comparison between Enzyme Wash and Bleach Wash (Traditional vs. Sustainable Washing Machine) the Physical and Color Fastness to Rubbing Properties of Denim Garments ()
ABSTRACT
This study focuses on comparison between Enzyme
Wash and Bleach Wash (Traditional vs. Sustainable Washing Machine) the physical
and color fastness to rubbing properties of denim garments. For this experiment indigo dyed cotton denim
garments (trousers) were chosen which were 98% cotton and 2% spandex and processed by enzyme
with the concentration of 2 g/l, and
the temperature of 45°C. In another work, enzyme treated denim garments were used for bleach wash with the concentration of 2 g/l, temperature 45°C and those samples have been processed by traditional and sustainable washing machine. After
completing process, the sample properties have been compared like rubbing,
tearing and tensile properties. After comparing result the color fastness to rubbing
of enzyme wash was poor in traditional and sustainable machine and tensile strength, tearing
strength properties down in traditional machine but the color fastness to rubbing of bleach wash was good in sustainable machine
than traditional machine and a
little bit lesser tensile and tearing properties in sustainable process.
