Catalase

catalase for Removal of Hydrogen peroxide after bleaching

DESCRIPTION

COLOCATALASE 200K is a concentrated catalase (EC 1.11.1.6) that catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and molecular oxygen. It can be used to remove residual hydrogen peroxide in applications where hydrogen peroxide is added e.g. for pasteurization or bleaching.

Thus, it has been suggested to use catalase in the textile industry for the removal of hydrogen peroxide from fabric which is bleached by an alkaline hydrogen peroxide treatment before dyeing.
