Description
Protease ST-12T is a highly active granular protease, for use in biological detergent products. The product acts by hydrolyzing protein soilings such as grass, blood & various foods. Protease ST- 12T hydrolyses proteins into peptides which are easily dissolved & dispersed in the wash liquor. Whilst being able to operate at moderate temperatures & mildly alkaline pH, it can also tolerate higher wash temperatures and high pH commonly found in industrial laundries.
Protease ST-12T is derived from a genetically modified strain of Bacillus alcalophilus.
The activity of Protease ST-12T is expressed in Kilo Protease Units (KPU), and contains no
significant side-activities.
Typical Characteristics
Activity minimum 12.0 KPU/g Appearance – off white granulate
Packaging
Protease ST-12T is available in bulk and 50Kg containers
Storage
Protease ST-12T has excellent long-term storage properties. To maintain optimum activity, store at moderate temperatures (below 25°C), in the original containers and with the lid closed.
Safety
Inhalation of aerosols from liquid enzymes should be avoided. Open in a well-ventilated environment. In case of accidental spillage or contact with skin/eyes, promptly rinse with water for at least 15 minutes.
