Used to give a distressed look to denim. Used to use pumice stones but it damaged the clothes, hems and machinery. Most manufactures use enzymes instead. This is suitable for denim as the indigo dye hardly penetrates the surface of the fibres staying mostly on the surface where it can be removed.
Benefits
- Less damage to fabric and machines
- Reduced product variability – more control
- Reduced labour costs
- Reduced environmental cost – no abrasive sludge left in waste water.
