Improving the Wettability of Enzyme Bleached Cotton Fabrics using Sodium Surfactin

Improving the Wettability of Enzyme Bleached Cotton Fabrics using Sodium Surfactin Farrell, M. J., De Boskey, M. J., & Ankeny, M. A. ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. 2016, 4(3), 1569-1572.

A significant drawback of enzyme bleaching of cotton fabrics is that although white fabric is obtained, it is not easy to obtain initial and instantaneous wetting. It has been found that naturally derived surfactants such as sodium surfactin can be used in conjunction with conventional textile surfactants during enzyme bleaching to achieve faster initial and instantaneous wetting.
Content of sodium surfactin and wetting time
Adding sodium surfactin to the bleaching bath can greatly shorten the initial wetting time. The initial wetting time of typical enzyme bleaching agents is relatively slow (D1, SS0). Even adding 0.005 g/L of sodium surfactin will shorten the initial wetting time by half. The addition of 0.1 g/L sodium surfactin resulted in instantaneous absorption of water droplets, while the average absorption time without sodium surfactant was 19.2 seconds. Interestingly, fabrics produced solely by the use of sodium surfactin do not absorb water after two minutes.
