High Efficiency Alpha Amylase Enzyme for Textile Desizing

Product highlights

An Alpha-amylase with excellent heat-resistance, ideal for desizing of textile fabrics incl. Cotton, silk, polyvinyl alcohol, rayon fiber, synthetic blended and yarn-dyed poplin:

1.Improve desizing rate to *0~*5%, reduce desizing time

2.No damages to fabrics, make texture feels soft, full, smooth and bright

3.Enable desizing and colour-fixing at the same bath, thus reduce process flow and improve productivity

4.Enhance capillary tube effect of fabrics

5.Improve working conditions for operators

6.Save fuel energy and reduce processing cost

7.Adapted to consecutive mass production, boiling-off, steeping, washing and other special desizing process

 
Description

HS***0 is a thermostable Alpha-Amylase produced by a modified strain of Bacillus licheniformis. It is an endoamylase that hydrolyzes alpha*1, *-glucosidic bonds to quickly reduce the viscosity of gelatinized starch, producing soluble dextrins and oligosaccharides.

 HS***0 has excellent heat resistance, fits to desizing of textile fabrics such as cotton, silk, polyvinyl alcohol, rayon fiber, synthetic blended and yarn-dyed poplin.

Product Characteristics

Effect of pH

HS***0 is active over a wide pH range, depending on the application conditions. The optimal pH is 6.0~7.5. The stable pH range is 5.0~*0.0 at *5°C(*7°F).

Effect of Temperature

Optimum temperature of HS***0 ranges from *5 to **0º C.

Concentration of Calcium

HS***0 requires a very low calcium concentration. Addition of *0 to *0 ppm (DSB) of calcium is sufficient to ensure enzyme stability.

Inhibitors

Copper, titanium, and cobalt ions are moderate inhibitors for HS***0 whereas aluminum, lead and zinc ions act as strong inhibitors.
