Genencor introduces Excellase™, a superior new protease for the dishwashing industry

Genencor today announced the launch of a unique new protease for the auto dish detergent industry, called Excellase™. The product enables auto dish detergent manufacturers to develop formulations with superior cleaning performance on protein-based soils within a broad range of temperatures (45-65°C).

Building further on Genencor’s innovative strength in the area of developing high-performance products for the auto dish industry, Excellase brings essential benefits to today’s detergent manufacturers:

• Outstanding cleaning performance on protein-based IKW* soils and excellent removal of tough protein stains
• Improved cleaning performance in non-phosphate auto dish detergents
• Better performance at standard and lower temperatures
• Concentration and formulation flexibility
• Excellent storage stability

* IKW is a test standard of the German Cosmetic, Toiletry, Perfumery and Detergent Association – Industrieverband Körperpflege- und Waschmittel e.V.

Protein-based soils such as minced meat, crème brûlée, and egg yolk are often hard to remove. Excellase outperforms currently available auto dish proteases on these types of soils, both in a phosphate and non-phosphate environment.

“We are very excited to bring this product to the dish detergent market”, said Floris Luger, vice president and business unit manager of Genencor’s Fabric & Household Care department. “Consumers increasingly demand better cleaning results, more convenience and reduced environmental impact. We see Excellase as an important offer to our customers to respond even better to these consumer needs. It is our intent to continue to bring added value enzyme solutions to the detergents industry which will allow for improved sustainability.”
