What is the difference between acid cellulase and neutral cellulase for textiles?

Acid cellulase works best around pH 4.5-5.5 and is more aggressive, so it is often used for denim stonewashing and faster abrasion. Neutral cellulase works closer to neutral pH and is usually chosen for bio-polishing where fabric strength retention is important.

How does cellulase improve cotton and denim finishing?

In bio-polishing, it removes surface micro-fibrils and fuzz from cotton and cellulosic fabrics, improving smoothness, pilling resistance, and hand feel. In denim washing, it replaces pumice stones to create an even faded effect with less mechanical damage.

What pH and temperature should be used for Enzyme Cellulase CAS 9012-54-8?

The acid-grade product typically works best at pH 4.5-5.5 and 45-55 C, but the exact optimum depends on the specific cellulase formulation and process. Neutral grades are available when processing conditions require a higher pH.

Can this cellulase be used in animal feed pellets?

Yes, but standard liquid cellulase may lose activity at pelleting temperatures above about 60-70 C. For feed pellets exposed to higher temperatures, a thermostable granular or coated form is recommended to preserve enzyme activity.

Product Description

Enzyme Cellulase CAS 9012-54-8 is an enzyme complex that hydrolyzes beta-1,4-glucosidic bonds in cellulose, with EINECS 232-734-4.

Synonyms: Endo-1,4-beta-D-glucanase; Beta-1,4-glucanase; 1,4-(1,3;1,4)-beta-D-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase; Cellulase concentrate; Textile enzyme.

CAS: 9012-54-8.

As an enzyme protein, it has no fixed molecular formula; activity is specified by enzyme units.

It is supplied as a light yellow to brown powder or liquid enzyme preparation.

Acid cellulase works best around pH 4.5–5.5, while neutral cellulase works near neutral pH.

The acid-grade product typically works best at 45–55 °C.

In bio-polishing it removes surface micro-fibrils and fuzz from cotton and cellulosic fabrics, improving smoothness and pilling resistance.

It is used for denim stonewashing and faster abrasion effects.

In animal feed it improves the digestibility of cellulose-containing feed.

Standard liquid cellulase may lose activity at pelleting temperatures above about 60–70 °C.

It is also used in selected food, detergent and biomass applications.

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from excessive heat and moisture to preserve enzyme activity.

Protect from direct sunlight and avoid strong acids, alkalis and oxidizers.

Confirm appearance, enzyme activity, pH range, moisture and microbial limits as required.

Use suitable eye and skin protection during handling, and wash skin contact with soap and water.

Confirm packaging with the requested quantity and destination requirements.
