NEUTRAL cellulase POWDER

Introduction
Americos Cellucom 110 OM is a highly concentrated neutral cellulase enzyme (NCU activity - 1, 65,000) produced by fermentation of non-pathogenic fungi. It is especially suitable for stone washing of denim with minimum re-deposition / back staining of indigo dyes.

Americos Cellucom 110 OM enzymatically hydrolyses the yarns surface and yields soluble products such as short-chain polysaccharides and glucose. This action loosens the indigo dye layer on yarn surface, which is subsequently more easily removed by the mechanical action of the machine.

Advantages :

• High contrast with low strength loss
• Better and bigger granular effect
• Even abrasion
• Low back staining of indigo
• Improves the touch of garments
• Very broad pH range (5.5 - 8)

Properties:

Appearance	Powder
Odor	Slightly fermented odor
Chemical character	Cellulase (Endo,1-4-8 D-Glucanase)
Solubility	Readily soluble in water
pH (1% solution)	7 ± 1
Application pH range	5.5 - 7.5
Application temperature range	50C – 60°C

Stability

Hard water	Good
Acids/ Alkalies	Active and stable in pH range 4.5 - 8.5
Metal ions	Poor, metal ions are poisonous for cellulase

Compatibility with

Non-ionic surfactant	Good
Anionic surfactant	Selective, some reduce the efficacy of the enzyme
Solvent based surfactant	Selective, some reduce the efficacy of the enzyme
Organic sequestrants	Generally good
Reducing / oxidizing agent	Reduce the efficacy of enzyme

Application Methods
Americos Cellucom 110 OM is applied on denim garment using rotary drum washer with high mechanical action.

Dosage

Americos Cellucom 110 OM	0.5 - 1% (owg)
Americos Anti-Crease Pro-76 A	0.5 - 1 g/l
Temperature	55°C - 60°C
pH	6 - 7
Time	30 - 90 min

Storage & Handling Precautions

• Store in cool place
• Avoid storing in direct sunlight
• The shelf-life of Americos Cellucom 110 OM is one year if stored below 40°C
• The usual precautions for keeping chemicals away from eyes and skin should be observed
