4 Wettability and Moisture Regain apillary eight a (5 g/l) sec a (5 g/l) % Greatest wettability and moisture regain improvement between 3% to 6%(owf). Alkali treatment gets moisture regain higher than Enzymatic but the wicking time is relatively same. Subtilisin treatment resulted higher capillary impact than a.
