The successful implementation of enzymatic solutions in the textile industry hinges on understanding the precise application parameters, including dosage, temperature, and pH. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides insights into optimizing the use of catalase enzymes for effective bleach clean-up, ensuring superior dyeing outcomes and operational efficiency.

Catalase enzymes are highly effective in removing residual hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from fabrics after the bleaching process. However, achieving optimal results requires careful control over several factors. The typical dosage for catalase in textile applications can range from 0.005% to 0.05% based on the weight of the fabric (o.w.f.). This concentration ensures sufficient enzyme activity to break down the H2O2 within a reasonable timeframe without over-application, which would be uneconomical and unnecessary.

Optimal Working Conditions:

  • Temperature: Catalase enzymes generally perform best within a temperature range of 40°C to 55°C. While some sources indicate broader ranges, this specific thermal window often provides the most efficient decomposition of H2O2 without risking enzyme denaturation.
  • pH: The ideal pH for catalase activity in textile processing is typically between 5.5 and 7.0. Maintaining the pH within this neutral to slightly acidic range ensures the enzyme remains active and stable, facilitating its catalytic function.
  • Processing Time: The duration required for effective H2O2 removal typically ranges from 10 to 20 minutes. This allows ample time for the enzyme to thoroughly neutralize any residual peroxide, preparing the fabric for the subsequent dyeing step.

It is crucial to note that these parameters can vary slightly depending on the specific product formulation, the concentration of residual H2O2, the fabric type, and the machinery used. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides detailed technical data sheets with each product to guide users on the most effective application protocols.

The precise application of catalase enzyme ensures that the residual H2O2 is completely eliminated, thereby preventing interference with dyes and leading to improved dyeing quality. By adhering to recommended dosages and optimal working conditions, textile manufacturers can maximize the benefits of this enzyme, including enhanced color consistency, reduced processing times, and significant savings in water and energy consumption. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to supporting our clients in achieving these efficiencies through our high-performance textile chemical solutions.
