Practical enzyme knowledge, connected to your application

Detergent enzyme selection starts with the stain and the formulation. Protease, amylase and lipase address different stain components; compatibility and storage performance must be assessed in the actual formulation.

Enzyme options in pulp and paper depend on the task: bleaching support, deposit control, starch handling or fiber treatment. There is no single enzyme choice for every mill problem.

Cellulase preparations are used in denim bio-washing to develop a chosen surface appearance. The treatment must be assessed against shade, handle and fabric strength requirements, not appearance alone.

Amylase-based desizing is relevant when starch is present in the size formulation. Identify the size before selecting a preparation: not every sizing material is a substrate for amylase.
