Leather and textile manufacturers face increasing pressure to produce high-quality, cost-effective, sustainable products. Consumer demand for garments with a smaller environmental footprint is growing, prompting the need for changes across the entire lifecycle. Our innovative enzymes for leather and textiles help manufacturers achieve sustainability producing cost effective premium quality products. Our products help save water and energy, and reduce the use of harsh chemicals, resulting in cleaner effluent and less waste. With our solutions, raw materials can be upgraded, and textiles can have a longer lifespan, allowing fashion brands to offer greener garments.
Leather and Textile Products
- Textile Industry - Strings
ALFA-DESIZE
BENEFITS:
- Desizing of cotton garments, yarns & fabrics.
- Complete removal of sizing components like starch
- Softer handle, improved absorbency & dye penetration
- Compatible with wetting agents, non-ionic surfactants, buffering salts, pumice stones & diatomaceous earth.
ALFA-BIOSCOUR
BENEFITS:
- Complete removal of pectin, oil, wax & dirt from raw cotton, under mild temperature, eliminating harsh chemicals, saving water and energy
- Fabric is softer and fluffier than conventional scouring
- Retains the cellulose structure almost intact, thus minimizing strength loss
- Reduces total water consumption by around 25%
- Reduce BOD / COD at least by 50% in scouring bath itself.
ALFA-CLEAN UP
BENEFITS:
- Complete decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in bleach cleanup process
- Achieves even dyeing
- Direct application after bleaching in dyeing bath, reducing water consumption by 30-40 L/ kg
- of fabric. No rinsing required after treatment.
- Reduces processing time, increasing plant efficiency and output
- Helps reduce energy cost, effluent load and effluent treatment cost.
ALFA-BIOWASH
BENEFITS:
- Biowashing of woven cotton and denim garments
- Imparts abrasion on indigo denims / dyed garments
- Good stone-wash effect, body softness and complete depilling effect.
- Minimal back staining compared to conventional biowashing enzymes.
- Reduce machine wear & tear and fabric damages
- Better fabric strength retention as compared to conventional chemical-based stone-washing process.
- Reduced cycle time, thus increasing the plant efficiency and output
ALFA-BIOPOLISH
BENEFITS:
- Designed especially for biopolishing of cotton.
- Removing the fuzz makes the color brighter, the fabric texture more obvious.
- Smoother yarns also increase the fabric softness, appearance and feel.
- Acts on knits or woven garments or fabric to impart complete depilling effect.
- The effects are wash proof and nongreasy, unlike conventional softeners
- Better fabric strength retention as compared to commercial blends
- Reduced cycle time, thus increasing the plant efficiency and output.

Alfa Acid BAT Supra
Alfa acid BAT supra tolerates free chromium ions, thus it’s ideally suited to your wet blue rebating operations. You can add it after neutralization and before re-tanning.
Alfa Acid BAT Star
Alfa acid BAT star is suited to acid bating of pickled pelts and doubleface.
Alfa BAT Supra
Alfa BAT supra is a unique, microbial-based, trypsin-like product. It gives tanneries the highest possible control of their process. It’s suitable for all types of leather and gives pelts a clean, pale and uniform appearance. With Alfa BAT supra, your customers can improve the quality of their finished leather.
Alfa BAT Star
Alfa BAT star is a traditional, microbial-based bating enzyme that delivers a strong bating action. It’s suitable for all types of hides and skins.
Alfa UL 100
Alfa UL 100 is delivers more efficient unhairing and consistently high pelt quality. With Alfa UL 100, tanneries can reduce their use of auxiliary and standard liming agents, resulting in lower sulfide and COD loads. Used together with Alfa grease supra, Alfa UL 100 has a synergistic effect.
Alfa AX
Alfa AX is an enzymatic solution that gives your customers improved cutting yield with no detriment to quality. That means more value for money.
Alfa Grease Supra
Alfa AX is an enzymatic solution that gives your customers improved cutting yield with no detriment to quality. That means more value for money.
