Progress® Uno 100 L
Progress® Uno 100 L is a tough protease for tough conditions, with enhanced stability in detergents with high pH, high water content or strong chelators. Progress® Uno 100 L also features a built-in, boron-free stabilizer.
Proteases target protein. Many everyday stains contain protein, including sweat, blood, dairy products and milky drinks like tea and coffee. Proteases break down the protein in these stains, making them easier to lift away from the fabric. That’s why proteases are crucial to the performance consumers demand from their laundry detergent.
An enzyme’s performance depends on its stability. If a detergent enzyme loses its stability, it becomes less effective, which impacts on overall detergent performance. Progress® Uno 100 L is the most stable liquid laundry protease, especially developed for tough conditions.
Stable in high pH formulations
Most enzymes hold their stability best within a certain pH range. If the pH values of a detergent formulation are high, enzymes in the formulation can become less effective over time. That’s why we developed this product to be very stable even when exposed to high pH values. The result is consistently high performance on protein stain removal.
Built-in boron-free stabilizer
Boron is a mineral traditionally added to liquid detergents to secure enzyme stability. Exposure to higher levels may pose a health risk and many regulatory authorities set legal limits to boron levels in workplace air. This product technology ensures stability without boron in liquid formulations, allowing you to observe these limits and create a safer workplace.
Designed for tough conditions
Doing storage enzymes can loss 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 loss 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.Stable in water-rich formulations
Some liquid detergents contain a lot of water and this can reduce the stability of certain enzymes. As enzymes lose their stability, they become less effective. This product has been developed for stability and consistent performance in detergents with high water content.
Stable in presence of strong chelators
Most laundry detergents and softeners contain chelators to soften water and help with stain removal. Unfortunately, strong chelators can also remove the calcium ions that are crucial to an enzyme’s structural stability. This product has been developed for compatibility with strong chelators.
