Enzymes for Laundry

Enzymes for Laundry

Advanced Enzyme Solutions for Better Cleaning, Fabric Care & Low-Temperature Washing

Overview

Enzymes provide targeted cleaning by breaking down specific types of stains and soils that conventional surfactants alone can struggle to remove. ReliZyme® offers a broad portfolio of proteases, amylases, lipases, cellulases, mannanases, pectinases, phosphodiesterases and polyesterases, as well as multi-enzyme blends for household, institutional and industrial laundry applications.

Our enzyme solutions are designed to deliver effective stain removal, improved fabric care, odor control and performance across a broad range of wash conditions, including lower-temperature washing.

Our Laundry Enzyme Portfolio

Product NameEnzyme typeFormatsFunctionBest forWhy choose it
ReliZyme® P100 / P200Protease — protein stain removalP100 liquid | P200 granulesProteases break down protein-based soils such as blood, grass, egg, milk and other protein-containing food stains into smaller, water-soluble fragments that can be more readily removed during washing.Protein-based food stains; Blood and grass stains; Household and institutional laundry; General-purpose detergents.Protease is the foundation enzyme for most laundry formulations and provides broad cleaning benefits across cotton, polyester and blended fabrics.
ReliZyme® A100 / A200Amylase — starch stain removalA100 liquid | A200 granulesAmylases hydrolyze starch-based soils, making them particularly effective against residues from pasta, potatoes, rice, sauces, cereals and other starch-containing foods.Food stains; Starch and carbohydrate residues; Restaurant and institutional laundry; Household detergents.Particularly useful when laundry is exposed to frequent food and kitchen-related stains.
ReliZyme® C100 / C200Cellulase — fabric care, brightness and anti-pillingC100 liquid | C200 granulesCellulases act on loose or damaged cellulose fibers on the surface of cotton fabrics. This can help reduce fuzz and pilling, restore fabric appearance and improve brightness.Cotton garments; Cotton blends; Premium laundry detergents; Fabric-care formulations; Anti-pilling applications.Goes beyond stain removal to provide a fabric-care benefit, making it particularly attractive for premium laundry products.
ReliZyme® L100 / L200Lipase — fat, grease and body-oil removalL100 liquid | L200 granulesLipases break down fats and oils into smaller components that are easier to remove during washing.Body oils; Grease and fatty food stains; Cosmetics and oily residues; Heavy-duty laundry; Sports and workwear.Especially valuable for formulations targeting greasy soils and repeated-use garments.
ReliZyme® M100 / M200Mannanase — guar gum and processed-food stain removalM100 liquid | M200 granulesMannanases target mannan-based polymers commonly found in processed foods, sauces and other food products, helping improve removal of these difficult soils.Processed food stains; Sauces and gravies; Household laundry; Premium detergents.Adds targeted performance against guar gum and mannan-containing soils that may be difficult to address with conventional enzymes alone.
ReliZyme® PT100Pectinase — fruit, vegetable and wine stain removalLiquidPectinases break down pectin, a structural polysaccharide found in many fruits and vegetables. This makes them useful for difficult fruit-, vegetable- and wine-derived stains.Fruit stains; Vegetable stains; Wine stains; Food-related laundry; Premium detergent formulations.Provides specialized stain coverage that complements protease, amylase and lipase.
ReliZyme® PD100 / PD200Phosphodiesterase — body-soil, hygiene and odor controlPD100 liquid | PD200 granulesPhosphodiesterase is designed to help address body soils and residues associated with repeated wear, supporting improved cleaning and odor performance.Body soils; Odor-control formulations; Repeated-wash garments; Institutional laundry; Hygiene-focused detergents.Particularly useful when the formulation needs to address odor and persistent body-soil challenges, rather than stain removal alone.
ReliZyme® PS100Stabilized protease — long-term protein stain removalLiquidReliZyme® PS100 is a stabilized liquid protease designed for detergent formulations where storage stability and long shelf life are important considerations.Liquid laundry detergents; Concentrated formulations; Long-shelf-life products; Protein stain removal.A useful option when formulation stability and enzyme performance during storage are key requirements.
ReliZyme® PE100 / PE200Polyesterase — cleaning synthetic fibersPE100 liquid | PE200 granulesPolyesterase is designed specifically for synthetic fabrics, helping address embedded oily soils and residues that can accumulate in polyester and other technical fabrics.Polyester; Nylon; Microfiber; Activewear; Sportswear; Synthetic-fabric detergents.Provides targeted performance for modern synthetic and performance fabrics, where conventional laundry enzymes may not provide the same level of soil removal.
ReliZyme® BG100β-Glucanase — glucan residue removalLiquidβ-Glucanase targets glucan-based residues and is intended for specialty and industrial cleaning applications.Industrial textiles; Specialty cleaning; Glucan-containing soils; Specialty detergent formulations.A targeted enzyme for applications where glucan residues are a specific cleaning challenge.

Formulation Support

Choosing the right enzyme is only the first step. Enzyme performance depends on pH, temperature, surfactant system, builder/chelator package, oxidizing ingredients, enzyme compatibility and storage conditions.

Reliant Chemical can help detergent formulators select and combine enzymes based on their target stains, wash temperature, detergent format, fabric mix and desired product positioning.

Typical dosage rates, operating conditions and formulation compatibility should be confirmed through application testing and formulation-specific evaluation.
