Alkaline pectinase for textile Conzyme SPA-5

 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION  

Conzyme® SPA-5 is a liquid and alkaline pectinase preparation. It is specially developed for bioscouring process of knitted natural cellulosic fibers such as cotton, linen, hemp and blend. It removes pectin and other impurities from cotton fibers without any degradation of the cellulose, softens and eliminates cotton seed to optimize dyeing performance. 

MECHANISM 

Different types of pectinases (PG, PE and PL) are involved in the product to ensure its efficient degradation of pectin and thus remove the impurities in natural cellulosic fibers.

APPLICATION RECOMMENDATION 

Ø  Reaction parameters 

PARAMETERS	RANGE
Activity Temperature	45-65℃
Activity pH	7.0-10.0

 Ø  Application 

The recommend dosage is 0.5-1g/L, and the treatment should last for 30-60 minutes.  

Temperature: 45-65℃ 

pH: 7.0-10.0 

Liquor ratio: 1:8-1:20 

Dosage: 0.5-1g/L 

Time: 30-60 minutes 

The dosage has to be optimized based on each application, the raw material specifications, product expectation and processing parameters. It is better to begin the test with the convenient volume. 

Ø  Inactivation 

The enzyme is inactivated at temperature above 80℃ for 10 minutes, or at pH above 11.0 for 10 minutes. 

BENEFITS 

1. A perfect alternative to the traditional process of dyeing and finishing. It can replace the caustic soda, bleaching stabilizer and other harsh chemicals, which simplifies production process and remarkably shortens processing time while reducing TDS、COD、BOD level in waste water.  

2. Improved hand feel and softness of fibers 

3. No cellulose fibre damage and reduced weight loss of the fibers 

4. Water and energy saving 

5. Environmentally friendly without extensive use of harsh chemicals 

6. Better to be used in combination with anti-pilling process. 

SAFE HANDLING PRECAUTIONS 

Enzyme preparations are proteins that may induce sensitization and cause allergic type of symptoms in susceptible individuals. Prolonged contact may cause minor irritation for skin, eyes or nasal mucosa. Any direct contact with human body should be avoided. If irritation or allergic response for skin or eyes develops, please consult a doctor. 

WARNINGS 

Keep sealed after use every time to avoid microbial infections and inactivation of enzymes until its finish.
