Each of the major types of detergent enzymes – amylases, proteases, lipases, mannanases, and cellulases – provides specific benefits:

  • Better cleaning performance
  • Shorter washing times 
  • Reduced energy consumption by lowering wash temperatures
  • Reduced water consumption through higher cleaning efficiency
  • Minimal environmental impact because enzymes are biodegradable
