Description

Fibrezym is a specialized enzyme preparation designed for the targeted modification and degradation of complex polysaccharides, particularly cellulose and hemicellulose fibers. Its core value proposition lies in providing a highly efficient, specific, and environmentally friendly biocatalytic solution for industries seeking to break down or modify fibrous materials. This product is essential for manufacturers and R&D facilities in the textile, pulp & paper, biofuel, and animal feed sectors, where controlled fiber processing is critical for product quality and process efficiency.

Application

• Textile Bio-Polishing & Stonewashing: Used to soften fabrics, reduce pilling, and create a worn-in look for denim by selectively hydrolyzing surface cellulose fibers.
• Pulp & Paper Processing: Enhances pulp drainage, improves fiber flexibility, and aids in deinking recycled paper by breaking down residual lignin-carbohydrate complexes.
• Biofuel Production: Acts as a key component in enzymatic hydrolysis cocktails to convert lignocellulosic biomass (e.g., agricultural waste, wood chips) into fermentable sugars for ethanol production.
• Animal Feed Additive: Incorporated into feed formulations to improve the digestibility of fibrous feed components, enhancing nutrient availability for livestock.
• Food Processing: Employed in the extraction, clarification, and viscosity reduction of fruit juices and vegetable purees.
• Research & Development: Serves as a critical reagent in biochemical and biotechnological research for studying cellulose structure and enzymatic degradation mechanisms.

Quality Control

Our Fibrezym is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. The product undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including activity assays (e.g., Filter Paper Units, CMCase activity), purity assessments, and microbial limits testing. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific activity, pH optimum, temperature stability, and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your application requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent moisture absorption and loss of enzymatic activity. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
