Properties

Our detergent-grade protease enzyme delivers powerful and targeted removal of protein-based stains—such as blood, sweat, dairy, grass, and food residues—by rapidly breaking down complex protein molecules into smaller, easily washable fragments. Engineered for exceptional stability in modern detergent environments, it remains active across wide pH ranges, high surfactant levels, and low-temperature wash conditions, ensuring superior cleaning performance even in fast or cold cycles.

By boosting stain-fighting efficiency while reducing reliance on harsh chemicals, this advanced protease enables manufacturers to create high-performance, eco-friendly, and cost-effective detergent formulations that consistently impress consumers with brighter, fresher, and visibly cleaner results.

Reaction

Protein / Peptide + H2O → Carboxylic acid + Amine CAS Number: 9014-01-1
