Enzyme Inactivation:
All cellulose enzymes should be inactivated after the desired washed effect is obtained.
Insufficient inactivation can result in extended exposure of the garments or fabric to active cellulose. This unintended exposure can cause undesirable strength loss:
• Hold the bath at PH>9 and temperature > 60 deg.C for 15 min. Soda ash (sodium carbonate) or borax (sodium borate) are recommended for PH adjustment; or
• Add sufficient quantity of an alkaline detergent to bring the PH to >9 Hold at >60 deg.C and PH 9 for 15 min.
Promptly rinse with water for at least 15 min.
Storage:
store at 25 0C. Exposure of this product to elevated temperature for prolonged time periods can result in loss of activity.
