COPENHAGEN – Danish biological solutions provider Novozymes has launched a new product, Fiberlife, which it says will extend the lifespan of manmade cellulosic fibers (MMCF) including viscose, modal and lyocell.
Fiberlife offers ‘biopolishing’ for MMCF – the world’s third most used textile after polyester and cotton – which is said to enhance the quality of fabrics by making them look new for longer.
Novozymes developed biopolishing for cotton many years ago but has now found a way to offer it for MMCF to help address quality issues such as the fabrics developing fuzz and pills after only a few washes.
