The invention is directed to novel variant endoglucanases and their use thereof.

A method for decolorization of polyester fabrics is provided. The method for decolorization of polyester fabrics includes putting polyester fabrics into an extraction cell. The method for decolorization of polyester fabrics also includes making a supercritical fluid and a co-solvent flow into the extraction cell. The method for decolorization of polyester fabrics further includes adjusting the temperature in the extraction cell to be greater than or equal to the glass transition temperature of the polyester fabrics, so that the supercritical fluid and the co-solvent perform a decolorization reaction on the polyester fabrics. Moreover, the method for decolorization of polyester fabrics includes making the supercritical fluid and the co-solvent flow out of the extraction cell. The method for decolorization of polyester fabrics also includes taking the polyester fabrics out of the extraction cell.

A method for producing a decolorized polyester according to the present invention includes: a step of preparing a polyester colored with a colorant, and a decolorizing agent containing a glycol ether-type compound having a boiling point at atmospheric pressure of 160° C. or higher; and a step of removing the colorant, by bringing the decolorizing agent into contact at least once with the colored polyester while heating the decolorizing agent to a temperature equal to or lower than a melting point of the polyester, to thereby obtain the decolorized polyester.

The invention relates to a process of treating a dyed fabric, in which fungi are used. The invention also relates to a package comprising a water impervious container and a fabric or a garment treated according to the process, and to a fabric or a garment as obtainable by the process of the invention.

Laser finishing of apparel products allows an operating model that reduces finishing cost, lowers carrying costs, increases productivity, shortens time to market, be more reactive to trends, reduce product constraints, reduces lost sales and dilution, and more. Improved aspects include design, development, planning, merchandising, selling, making, and delivering. The model uses fabric templates, each of which can be used to produce a multitude of laser finishes. Operational efficiency is improved.

This invention relates to a fabric consisting of at least a first yarn containing cellulosic fibers modified by a cationic modifier and a second yarn containing cellulosic fibers not modified by a cationic modifier, and to the use of this fabric in order to obtain a denim appearance.
