Description
Lipase NL-GX is an alkaline liquid lipase for use in biological detergent products. The product acts by hydrolyzing insoluble fat & oil soilings such as those resulting from frying fats, salad oil, butter, gravy, soup, human sebum and cosmetics. Lipase NL-GX hydrolyses fats by cleaving the ester bonds of triglyceride molecules producing mono and di-glycerides, glycerol and free fatty acids which can then be readily removed from fabrics. Lipase NL-GX is particularly effective at first wash removal of fatty stains in laundry applications.
Lipase NL-GX is a lipase derived from a genetically modified strain of Aspergillus spp. The activity of Lipase NL-GX is expressed in Kilo Lipase Units (KLU), and contains no
significant side-activities.
