Types of Denim Fabric Washing and Finishing

Denim is really confusing at times. It is dipped, dyed, ripped and tried in various forms to create intricate washes and finishes. 

Bhaskar Denim Industries, the largest denim & linen fabric manufacturers is equipped with all the necessary machines and processes to give your denim a fashionable and quirky look.  In order to produce colour fading effects of crinkles, hairiness, patchiness etc., the denim undergoes stages of evolution before reaching your closets. 

Let’s figure out the differences between denim washes:

• Stone Wash: One of the commonly known wash is stone wash. It is an effort to give your denim an aged look. To abrade the surfaces of fabric and get a colour effect, a roll of fabric is put in the washing machine along with pumice stones and both are rotated together for a longer time. The longer they are together, better and lighter the denim gets.

•  Enzyme Wash: To improve the smoothness and softness of fabric’s surface, naturally occurring enzymes are exposed to the fabric which causes the loss of cellulose in cotton. This also fades the colour of denim and produces a stronger and sturdy fabric.

• Sand Blasting: To achieve an abrasion effect, sand is fired at a great speed onto the fabric. An updated version of sand blasting is- micro sanding where the denim fabric is brought in contact with chemically coated rollers. It also rubs off the colour fibres.

• River Wash: When stone washing and enzyme washing processes are brought together, they create a much better wash-effect. River washing is a two-stage process where enzymes are introduced after the pumice stones. This wash brings out a true aged effect on the denim.

• Acid Wash: Acid wash is considered as one of the oldest washes in denim. Acid wash is achieved by soaking the pumice stones in acid or bleach. Then the fabric is processed in machine with the pumice stone liquid. This brings a unique finish in the denim.
