Enzymes for laundry detergents and cleaning

Enzymes (protease and cellulase) are increasingly important to the performance of detergent formulations helping to degrade and remove blood, milk and egg stains from fabrics or to prevent greying on different textiles. Utilizing combinations of enzymes with classical chemical ingredients allow for the creation of cleaning products optimized to specific applications, markets requirements, and performance claims; such as superior performance at low temperature (30°C and below) in concentrated liquid detergents. Next to chemicals like surfactants and polymers BTC Europe also offers LavergyTM enzymes for the detergents and cleaners industry. 

Our Lavergy™ enzymes are key performance ingredients in detergents. Protease, one of the most used enzyme in laundry formulations, supports the removal of protein based stains.

Lavergy™ Pro enzymes are particularly efficient in removing stains such as egg, blood, milk, blueberry and grass, especially in cold washing temperatures below 30°C. Lavergy™ Pro enzymes are liquid proteases, enhancing the cleaning performance in laundry formulations (detergents) such as:

• Light duty,
• heavy duty,
• special delicate care, colour care, improved whiteness, ecolabel range,
• normal, concentrated or liquid monodose (capsules, caps or pouches).

Lavergy® C Bright 100 L in tandem with other quality ingredients from the BASF Home Care und I&I portfolio harnesses the combined power of different technologies to give a sustainable, performance-differentiated solution. Lavergy C Bright 100 L interacts with other selected ingredients to keep fabrics from turning grey. Whether white or colored, cotton or synthetic fibers – clothes look like new even after multiple washes. Lavergy C Bright 100 L meets the criteria for various ecolabeling systems including EU Ecolabel and Blue Angel. Excellent cleaning performance, suitability for use with many types of fabric and good environmental compatibility are the hallmarks of BTC Europes one-fits-all solution.
