Our history

Get to know us

You might not realize it, but newly washed clothes – which appear clean – might still have stains on them. And they can attract contaminants from the surroundings.

Laundry

Repel contaminants by removing sticky stains

Unless a detergent includes a blend of high-performance enzymes, it can leave “invisible” stains on clothes. But if the stains are invisible, do they matter?

Yes! An invisible, thin film of organic matter such as starch, fat and gum often remains on the surface of the fabric where there was once a visible stain. This invisible film acts as a sticky “glue.” The glue can trap contaminants from the surroundings when you wear the clothes. And it can trap unwanted particles from the wash water in current or future washes as well.

Comp3 final

Invisible, sticky stains trap unwanted particles

High-performance enzymes prevent both the trapping and redeposition of unwanted particles. That’s because Novozymes enzymes prevent sticky glues from building up on fabrics. And enzymes break down the sticky film by targeting specific stain components. See how enzymes help remove “invisible” stain

Novozymes enzymes break down invisible stains

<h2>These Medley® solutions are ideal to repel unwanted particles:</h2>

During storage enzymes can lose activity over time when exposed to tough conditions. 
In powder detergents high temperature, humidity or bleach exposure over longer periods may cause the enzymes to lose activity. 
In liquid detergents enzymes are stable in the right mix of pH, water content, polyol content and protease inhibition. When exposed to high temperatures or if your formulation needs go beyond ideal conditions for the enzymes, enzyme activity could drop over time. 
Because your detergents may face tough on their journey to consumers, we developed this product to be highly stable. The result is consistent performance, even after exposure to tough conditions.

Designed for tough conditions

Protein is found in sweat, blood, grass, chocolate, dairy products and milky drinks like tea, coffee and chai. Protease breaks down the protein in these stains, making it easier for the detergent to lift it from the fabric.

Protease to target protein

Starch is a key ingredient of foods like ready-made sauces, baby foods, dressings and desserts. It also acts as a glue for other dirt particles in the air and in wash water, making starch stains even more noticeable. By breaking down starch, amylase helps the detergent wash away these stains.

Amylase to target starch

Guar and locust bean gums are used in a wide range of foods including ice cream, mayonnaise and salad dressing. They’re also a common ingredient in personal care products like toothpaste and body lotions. Mannanase breaks down these gums to help detergents remove their sticky stains.

Mannanase to target gum

From cheeseburgers to pad Thai, many fast food and street food dishes leave behind greasy stains that are slow to disappear. Greasy burgers, fries, pizzas and hot dogs are all common causes of oily stains, along with cooking oils like peanut, sunflower and sesame. Lipase breaks down fats and oils to help laundry detergents remove these stains.

Lipase to target fat, oil and grease

Most everyday stains are multi-layered, with each element in the stain forming a layer. That means an enzyme’s access to its target element can be ‘blocked’. By clearing paths through the stain’s layers for one another, the enzymes in this product boost one another’s impact. The result is high performance on a wide range of everyday stains, along with color care and whiteness benefits.

Multi-enzyme synergy

Enfuze® co-granulation technology ensures even distribution of different enzymes in your laundry powder. Consumers get consistently high wash performance. You get to cut key aspects of your supply chain by at least 50%.

Co-granulation for premium performance

When exposed to higher temperatures, humidity or bleach over longer periods, most enzymes will lose some of the stability that makes them effective. Because your detergents may contain bleach or face hot and humid conditions on their journey to consumers, we developed this product to be highly stable. The result is consistent performance, even after exposure to tough conditions.

Details

This product contains enzymes. While enzymes are safe to use in consumer applications, they need correct handling in working environments to ensure workers’ safety.

Indeed, repeated inhalation of enzyme dust or aerosols resulting from improper handling may induce sensitization and may cause allergic type 1 reactions in sensitized individuals.

Please follow the precautionary handling recommendations below:

Fruit including berries, bananas and avocadoes, as well as many vegetables naturally contain high levels of pectin. Pectin is also added as a thickener to jams, jellies, yoghurt drinks and smoothies to thicken. It’s even used in some cosmetics. Pectate lyase breaks down pectin to help detergents remove all sorts of pectin stains.

Over time, white clothes can become gray. The cause is the tiny fibers that come loose from cotton threads over time. These fibers trap dirt particles. Cellulases target and ‘cut’ these fibers. That releases the trapped dirt particles to keep whites whiter

Cellulases for whiteness

The same tiny loose fibers that cause graying in white cottons can make colored cotton fabrics look duller over time. The fibers themselves, as well as the dirt they trap, cover up the brightness of the colors. By targeting and ‘cutting’ these fibers, cellulases help to keep colors alive.
