IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF PECINTASE SCOURING WITH AGITATION TO IMPROVE COTTON FABRIC WETTABILITY.

The article presents research which examined the application of improved efficiency of pecintase scouring with agitation to enhance cotton fabric wettability. The researchers performed the pectinase treatments after a water pretreatment at 100 degrees Celsius which showed a great promise as a more environmentally favorable substitute for alkaline scouring. They assessed the effects of fabric-to-fabric agitation and shaking agitation when added to a previously established pectinase scouring protocol.
