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.
Progress® Excel 101 L delivers premium wash performance to satisfy even the most demanding consumers.
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.
Performs well in cold washes
In many parts of the world, washing in cold water is standard. In the US and Europe, where doing laundry is one of the most energy-intensive household chores, environmentally-conscious consumers are choosing cold washes to save energy and to make their clothes last longer. That’s why we developed this product to give consumers high performance even at low temperatures.
Stability for multi-enzyme detergents
Enzymes are proteins and proteases break down proteins in a reaction that needs water. That means that in storage, proteases in liquid laundry detergents can break down other enzymes that have been added to the detergent. The result is reduced performance. This product’s proprietary protease inhibitor technology prevents this breakdown, so all the enzymes in your detergents can perform fully in the wash.
