Enzytex CKO

• Ferment ООО

Complex of acid cellulases in liquid form designed specifically for bio-boiling of cotton, blend and linen fabrics and textile fabrics.

Advantages

• ensures high wettability of textile materials;

• replaces traditional environmentally unsafe alkaline boiling;

• ensures significant water and energy saving;

• ensures minimal loss of weight of the textile material.

Composition

Complex of acid cellulases, purified water, glycerine, tare preservative.

Mechanism of action

ENZYTEX CKO hydrolyses β-1,4-glycosidic bonds of the cellulose portion of the primary wall of fibers - material surface becomes porous and more sensitive to the effect of water, chemical reagents and colorants, as well as other enzymes and reagents for removal of substances accompanying cellulose (pectins, hemicellulose).

Properties and efficiency

ENZYTEX CKO is used in the processes of bio-boiling of textile materials, affecting unordered cellulose in the outer layers of the fiber, thus contributing to removal of non-cellulose inclusions from the fiber, changing frictional and mechanical properties and improving hygroscopicity and sorption capacity with regard to dyes.

Resistance to:
Hard water	good, calcium ions serve as cellulase activators
Metal cations	bad, cations of heavy metals significantly reduce amylase activity
Acids / alkali	stable at pH from 4 to 6 optimal pH value 4,5–5,5
Processing temperature	working range 30–70 °C optimal range 40–60 °C

Compatible with:
Wetting agents / detergents	good
Complex formers / stabilizers	good, at optimal pH values
Reducing agents	bad, reduce cellulase activity
Oxidants	bad, reduce cellulase activity
