Chemzyme TS20

Rapid Desizer

Chemzyme TS20 is a bacterial alpha amylase, produced by submerged fermentation

of Bacillus microorganism. It is designed for the desizing of fabrics.

Properties
Chemzyme TS20 is a brown liquid in appearance.
Chemzyme TS20 is a non-food grade product intended for technical applications
in textiles only.
It can be used in all classical processes. It is not necessary to modify the desizing
process when replacing conventional enzymes with Chemzyme TS20.
Chemzyme TS20 breaks down starch in textile size without any negative effect
on the textile fiber.

Compatibility
Chemzyme TS20 does not require addition of calcium salts and is compatible with
wetting agents and surfactants normally used in desizing process.

Application
Chemzyme TS20 breaks down starch in textile size without any negative effect on
the textile fiber. The optimum dosage of Chemzyme TS20 will depend on desizing
conditions, size composition and type of fabric.

Safety
Enzymes are proteins and inhalation of dust or aerosols may induce sensitization
and may cause allergic reactions in sensitized individuals. Some enzymes may
irritate the skin, eyes and mucous membranes upon prolonged contact.
Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. Wash
contaminated clothes.

Storage and Packing

Enzymes generally loose activity overtime depending on storage temperature. Cool
conditions are recommended.
