Starch, a high polymeric carbohydrate is a mixture of two polysaccharide, such as amylose and amylopectin. Starch conversion enzyme can change the internal structure of starch, which will decrease the starch viscosity, thereby meeting the requirement in textile destarch.

SUKAMY-TX550 is an Amylum conversion enzyme derived from the submerged fermentation of Bacillus subtilis. It is mainly used in textile destarch, especially for destarch of silk, chemical fibre and linsey-woolsey.

The benefits of using SUKAMY-TX550 for modifying original starch are easier operation technics and lower cost. With non-pollution, the product can save the chemical product dosage and never damage the fiber. Also, the product can be used at medium temperature which can save energy.

1. SUKAMY-TX550 provides maximal benefit at pH range of 5.5 – 7.0, the optimum pH is 6.0-6.4 and deactivate at pH below 5.0 or high 8.0;

2. The product is stable if the temperature below 60℃ and the optimum temperature is between 45 to 65℃; the product will react quickly at the temperature of 70-85℃ but with deactivation quickly; The product can be used the destarch process at the temperature below 70℃;

Unit definition: The amount of enzyme needed to hydrolyze 1 mg of starch in one minute at pH 6.0 at the reaction temperature of 60℃ and the unit can be showed as u/ml.

This product follows the industry standard of PRC as QB1805.1-93.

As different water quality, stuff contains and textile types, the production process shall be determined by the experiment dosage as well as conditions so as to satisfy the techniques and applications of customers’.

For thick and heavy textile, it is advice that adds non-ionic penetrant at 0.5g/L and squeezes the water out before impregnating. Add destarch enzyme in to distributor or machine after pH adjustment. The enzyme dosage is usually 0.5-3g/L and the dosage can be reduced properly for light and thin textile; Better effectiveness can be achieved if used together with penetrant;

25 kg/plastic drum

Alternative packaging is available upon request for smaller or larger volumes.

Store in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight. SUKAMY-TX550 maintains its activity for considerably longer time when stored at lower temperatures (below 25℃). The product should not be frozen.

SUKAMY-TX550 is non-toxic and biodegradable. However, unnecessary contact with the product should be avoided. Long term exposure to protein based products such as SUKAMY-TX550 may sensitize certain individuals to the product. Wash hands with warm soapy water after handling. Keep out of reach of children.
