BioPrep®
With products in the BioPrep® family, your cotton mill can eliminate high-temperature alkaline scouring. The result is savings in water, energy and time. BioPrep® products give cotton knits a superior hand feel and lasting softness. That means you can reduce or even eliminate the need for softeners. The BioPrep® family of products is available in a range of concentrations.
Product features, details and benefits
Eliminates high temperature alkaline scouring
BioPrep® products are an alternative to conventional alkaline scouring at high temperatures. They deliver more consistent and reliable results to your mill.
Saves energy
Fast-acting, enzymatic BioPrep®products don't need the high temperatures of conventional scouring. That allows you to make savings of up to 50% in pre-treatment process energy costs.
Saves water
Conventional alkaline scouring needs chemical neutralization. It also needs thorough rinsing with up to three baths. BioPrep® products only need one. By reducing the number of baths needed, these products can save your mill up to 67% water in the pre-treatment process.
Reduces weight loss and maintains strength
Sodium hydroxide and other chemical alkalis used in conventional scouring don't just break down wax. They also attack the cellulose. That reduces fabric weight and strength. The specific action of BioPrep® products only targets pectin. The result is a 1-2% reduction in weight loss compared to conventional scouring. That helps fabrics to maintain their strength.
Reduces COD and salt loads in wastewater
Processing cotton naturally leads to high COD, BOD and TDS loads in your mill's wastewater plant. Conventional scouring further increases COD loads. BioPrep® products reduce COD, BOD and salt (acid and alkali) loads. That helps your plant stay in compliance and reduces your mill's overall environmental footprint.
Simplifies process for higher mill capacity
BioPrep® products simplify your process, as you need fewer chemicals and lower temperatures. That saves you time, which means you can optimize use of capacity.
Safer to use
With enzymatic BioPrep® products, you can eliminate harsh chemicals from your pretreatment process. That leads to improved worker safety at your mill.
A more sustainable solution
This product is both biodegradable and renewable. In many processes it saves water and energy. That makes it a more sustainable solution.
