Acid Cellulase Liquid Enzyme

Elizzyme Super conc L-1 is a super concentrated liquid cellulase enzyme product for laundries.

This unique cellulase sets the new standard for surface defi brillation quality and overall customer value: It gives superior garment cleanup under wide pH conditions in all types of processing equipment.

Elizzyme uses state-of-the-art biotechnology methods. Elizzyme Super conc L-1 is unique and contains a cellulase enzyme produced by a genetically modifi ed organism. The enzyme is produced by a natural fermentation process and is biodegradable.This unique cellulase sets the new standard for surface defi brillation quality and overall customer value: It gives superior garment cleanup under wide pH conditions in all types of processing equipment.

ADVANTAGES

Elizzyme Super conc L-1 provides these processing and garment quality benefi ts:

Process Simplicity

Reduced water heating time Elizzyme Super conc L-1works in temperatures as low as 40oC. Incoming process water needs minimal heating to bring the bath into operating temperatures, reducing time (enabling increased production) and saving energy.

Combined biofi nishing . Elizzyme Super conc L-1 cellulase biofinishing can be performed and directly followed with either of Elizzyme Fading enzymes treatment in the same bath. Same bath processing saves water, energy, and time while delivering unique looks to finished garments

High Quality Garments

Consistent garment quality. Elizzyme Super conc L-1 gives reproducible garment look and feel even under moderate variations in processing pH, temperature, and time. This product can provide the process robustness required to minimize time consuming and costly garment rework.

High color retention. Finishing garments with Elizzyme Super conc L-1 results in higher color retention when compared to traditional cellulase processing.

Increased color brilliance. Finishing with Elizzyme Super conc L-1 results in exceptionally clean fabric surfaces. The reduction in surface ‘fuzz’ increases the visual brilliance of dyed fabrics.

(*)The activity of the enzyme is expressed in Neutral Cellulase Activity Units (NCAU) against an internal standard to ensure lot-to-lot consistency. The enzyme activity value is not a measure for biofi nishing performance. A detailed assay method is available upon request.

PROCESS CONDITIONS

FORMULATION

Elizzyme Super conc L-1 enzyme is super concentrated and provides maximum formulation flexibility, meeting the different needs of fabric and garment processors. Elizzyme Super conc L-1 enzyme is compatible with most textile processing aids, including buffers, non ionic wetting agents, dispersants, and lubricants. Compatibility should be checked to determine the impact on enzyme performance and stability. A Formulation Guideline is available upon request.

DOSAGE RECOMMENDATIONS

Elizzyme Super conc L-1 will require reformulation before use. It is recommended that the optimal dosage of reformulated product be defi ned under the conditions of use to obtain the desired effect. This is best defi ned by fi rst experimenting with a small amount of fabric or garments. The dosage will vary according to fabric type and weight, treatment time, pH, temperature, liquor ratio, auxiliary chemi cals and type of equipment/ mechanical action. The dosage recommendations below are starting guidelines for Elizzyme Super conc L-1 enzyme as such and should be adjusted for the formulated product using the dilution factor. Type of Goods Dose OWG Fabric 0.10-0.20 %

Garments 0.10-0.30%

This is a highly concentrated product which needs to be formulated for use. Ready to use products are also available

ENZYME INACTIVATION

If necessary, Elizzyme Super conc L-1 enzyme can be inactivated by increasing the pH of the biofi nishing bath to a pH > 9.0 and holding for 5 minutes. Soda ash (sodium carbonate), borax (sodium borate) or an alkaline detergent are recommended for pH adjustment.

SAFETY & ENZYME HANDLING

Inhalation of enzyme dust and mists should be avoided. In case of contact with the skin or eyes,promptly rinse with water for at least 15 minutes.For detailed handling information, please refer to the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet; the Enzyme Technical Association (ETA) handbook, Working Safely With Enzymes; and the Association of Manufacturers and Formulators of Enzyme Products (Amfep) handbook, Guide to the Safe Handling of Microbial Enzyme Preparations.

PACKAGING & STORAGE

Elizzyme Super conc L-1 enzyme is available in 28 kgpails, 225 kg drums. Elizzyme Super conc L-1 enzyme can be stored at room temperature (up to 25°C) in a sealedcontainer. Reformulated products should also be packaged in sealed containers. Storage and Stability information is available upon request.
