VINALASE DHT-100 is impaired a lot by heavy metal ions and salt thereof, oxidizing agents, alkalis (> pH 9.0) and acids (<pH 4.0). A number of tensides, especially the ones with anionic reaction may impair the enzymatic decomposition. The product is to a limited extent sensitive to frost changes occurring at low temperatures are reversible on warming and after thorough stirring..
DILUTION
VINALASE DHT-100 can be diluted with water in every ratio.
APPLICATION
VINALASE DHT-100 is an enzymatic product which decomposes starch at temperatures normally used for desizing process (50 – 110 Cº ) and a pH range between 5.0 – 7.0. Due to heat stability of VINALASE DHT-100 the product can be used on Pad-Steam process with 1-20 min. steaming time. Heavy metal ions impair the enzymatic decomposition of the amylases very much. Therefore it is of advantage to add to the desizing liquor a sequestering agent, e.g. VINAQUEST CEP / VINAQUEST SF 40 with a high heavy metal sequestering capacity . VINALASE DHT 100 can be applied in all common desizing methods, pad-batch methods, processes in long liquors and continuous processes.
