3. It is developed as a product for
producing gray cast on denim during
hypochlorite bleaching process.
The disadvantage of bleaching indigo
dyed fabrics with sodium hypochlorite
produces a royal blue or powder blue
colour on fabric & is not desirable always.
To overcome this disadvantage the
expensive process used is laccase enzyme.
Denimax GC is the chemical substitute of
laccase enzyme.

5. Key Features & Benefits
Denimax GC provides a method of producing
the faded appearance in single step during
