Washing oil-stained fabric
At the same grease soil and water quality, compare cleaning against an enzyme-free control.
Multi-enzyme detergents
Record enzyme activity and odor in fresh and stored formulations separately.
Purchase specifications and incoming inspection
Review these properties for the intended application grade. Example figures refer to the cited grade or source. Confirm the offered specification, packaging and lead time in the quotation. Novonesis · Lipase and fatty soils ↗
| Property | Unit | Published or agreed specification | Test conditions and checks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lipase activity | Units/g by supplier method | Agree for the grade and end use | Specify the substrate and the definition of the activity unit. |
| Oil residue after washing | Mass or reflectance | Agree for the grade and end use | Use test swatches from the same source and the same laundering procedure. |
| Activity retention during storage | % | Agree for the grade and end use | Agree temperature, formulation and test intervals. |
When approving a sample, record the grade, methods, limits and specification revision. On receipt, match the packing lot number to the lot-specific COA and record the measured values and release decision.
From samples to commercial delivery
Packaging and receiving
Distinguish liquid and granular grades. Check packaging, leak prevention and dust control against the SDS.
Storage and handling
Confirm remaining shelf life at arrival, supported storage temperature range and batch COA.
Sample and order lead times
Compare quotations by active matter, as-supplied net weight and packaging. State destination and receiving facilities and request MOQ, sample dispatch and commercial arrival dates.
Questions from the plant
Why does lipase work on vegetable oil stains but poorly on mineral oil?
Group actual soils by whether they contain hydrolysable fats, then test each group.
Why can a high-activity raw liquid lose performance in the finished product?
Compare retained complete formulations from before and after the change under matched storage conditions.
Report a delivery or batch issue
Include the order number, lot number from the package, label photos and inspection records for the affected lot. When retesting, check Lipase activity, Oil residue after washing, Activity retention during storage.
