Novozymes launches two new granular enzymes for Denim abrasion finishing: Denimax 400T and Novoprime 400T.
From Novoprime A888 to the new Denimax 400T & Novoprime 400T.
It was more than 10 years ago that Novozymes first launched Novoprime A888; a product that has always stood out among granular enzymes for its effectiveness in stonewashing denim. A high-performance product that enables both new shades and finishes to be created. Among the greatest benefits are its high contrast and low degree of indigo redeposition needed for the creation of new effects.
So the textile market, which is already familiar with and appreciates Novoprime A888, will find in these two new enzymes, Denimax 400T and Novoprime 400T, two alternatives that improve on the already excellent results obtained with Novoprime A888.

Denimax 400T & Novoprime 400T: the new granular enzymes for Denim abrasion finishing.
The two new granular enzymes for denim abrasion offered by Novozymes are an update and an improvement on an already excellent product.
Both Denimax 400T & Novoprime 400T have a superior pH & temperature profile compared to Novoprime A888, and allow for a saving of the buffering agents in the “ready to use” product and in low temperature applications.
Maximum levels of product safety.
Enzymes from Novozymes are safe products. Denimax 400T and Novoprime 400T are T-type granulated products, representing the highest safety standards for solid enzymes. They contain no BITs or MITs and fully comply with EU REACH regulations.
The two new granular enzymes compared with Novoprime A888.
Novozymes put the two new granular enzymes for Denim abrasion Denimax 400T and Novoprime 400T, in a comparison with the well-known and popular Novoprime A888.
The results of the analysis and lab tests showed that the new Denimax showed a stronger abrasive effect and greater contrast. Results that can be visually seen and not just confirmed by spectrophotometric examination.
The obtained look was much closer to a real stonewash performed by pumice stone and the washed denim with the new Denimax also had a much improved level of backstaining.
