Embodiment 1A、2 and 3

[0211] Enzyme-catalyzed bleaching-brightening according to the one-bath two-step exhaust method: prescoured and heat-set nylon 66 fabrics at 175°C using a liquor ratio of 20:1 in the amount of bleaching process, sodium carbonate, said ester substrate, hydrogen peroxide and said perhydrolase in a bath. The temperature was ramped from room temperature to a target temperature of 65°C at a rate of 2°C per minute. The bath was then held at 65°C for 30 minutes and then adjusted to pH 4.5 by adding acetic acid (80%). Subsequently, the optical brightener was added to the bath in the amount given in Table 1, and the treatment was continued at 65° C. for another 20 minutes. After draining, the fabric was rinsed twice at 50°C for 10 minutes each and then dried at 70°C. Each flush contained 0.5 g / l of a 25% solution of catalase T100 (purchased from Genencor).

Abstract

A method for bleach-whitening of synthetic textile material is provided comprising contacting said textile material with (a) an enzymatic textile bleaching composition comprising (i) a perhydrolase enzyme, (ii) an ester substrate for said perhydrolase enzyme, (iii) a hydrogen peroxide source, (iv) a surfactant and / or an emulsifier, (v) a peroxide stabilizer, (vi) a sequestering agent, (vii) a buffer which maintains a pH of about 6 to about 8, and (b) at least one fluorescent whitening agent, and, optionally, (c) at least one acid or disperse shading dye for shaded variations of white, for a length of time and under conditions suitable to permit measurable whitening of the textile material, thereby producing a bleached-whitened textile material.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a process for the enzymatic bleaching-brightening of synthetic textile materials, especially for the enzymatic bleaching-brightening of polyamides or textile materials comprising polyamides. Background technique [0002] During the processing of textile raw materials such as fibres, yarns or fabrics, pre-treatment or pre-preparation steps are often required in order to properly suit the dyeing, printing and / or finishing stages for further use and especially for the dyeing, printing and / or finishing stages which are usually required for commercial goods. The textile raw material is prepared. These textile treatment steps remove impurities and color bodies that are naturally present or those added to the fibers and / or fabrics by the spinning and weaving steps. [0003] While textile processing can include many different treatments and stages, the most common include: desizing, the removal of sizing agents (such as starch...
