PRODUCT RELEASE: Bionetix® Launches BIO-ECO-WASH™ Probiotic Cleaner for Sensitive Environments

Bionetix® is pleased to announce the release of a new cleaning concentrate for use in sensitive environments! BIO-ECO-WASH™ is a low foaming formula that combines natural surfactants with probiotics for effective cleaning, degreasing, and surface prep in a variety of industrial and marine applications. With BIO-ECO-WASH, industrial users can boost cleaning power while reducing their environmental impact.

Using the Power of Nature to Clean Sensitive Environments

Surfactants are a critical component of cleaners, loosening particles of dirt and grime so they are easier to rinse away. By using naturally derived surfactants in BIO-ECO-WASH, Bionetix® minimizes the danger of polluting the environment with synthetic surfactants. But the benefits of nature do not stop there. BIO-ECO-WASH also contains probiotics—beneficial microorganisms that enhance cleaning performance by digesting contaminants such as grease and other organic deposits. These probiotics continue working even after the initial application, providing residual cleaning on the treated surface and in the downstream rinsewater. 

A Probiotic Cleaner for Many Surfaces

Because of its ability to digest grease and organic materials, BIO-ECO-WASH is suitable for use in tough industrial environments, where it can be used to clean machinery, tools, engines, and production equipment. Even so, it can also be used safely on a variety of surfaces, including linoleum, PVC, laminate, wood, fiberglass, and stone. These characteristics make BIO-ECO-WASH suitable for use in many marine and transportation cleaning applications:

  • Boat interiors and exteriors
  • Buses, trucks, and cars
  • Docks, pontoons, and other floating surfaces
  • Mooring bollards

“Green” Chemistry for Light or Heavy-Duty Cleaning

BIO-ECO-WASH is a liquid concentrate that can be diluted in water as much as 1:40 for general cleaning applications or as little as 1:10 for heavy-duty cleaning power. This makes BIO-ECO-WASH ideal for large commercial or industrial cleaning accounts or for formulators repackaging green cleaners for consumer use. Whether that means washing a bus, cleaning a boat, or prepping a dock for painting, BIO-ECO-WASH is here to help minimize environmental impact while boosting cleaning power. Contact Bionetix® to learn more about how probiotic cleaning technology can benefit you.

PRODUCT RELEASE: Empower Stain Removal and More with β-mannanase!

Bionetix® International is pleased to introduce another important enzyme for manufacturers and formulators: ECP1300. This high efficiency β-mannanase enzyme is produced by nonpathogenic fungi and is designed to break down complex polysaccharides into simple sugars. Such action makes ECP1300 useful in a wide range of industries—from laundry detergent formulation to biofuel production and paper making. The following examples offer a snapshot of the many things β-mannanase can do!

Stain Removal

Stain Removal

The most important purpose of ECP1300 is to help with the stain removal process when doing laundry. Mannan is becoming an increasing source of staining due to the use of guar gum as a thickener in many processed foods and personal care products. Mannan sticks to the fabric and makes it difficult to remove stains caused by BBQ sauce, ice cream, chocolate, gum, and other foods or products that contain mannan. To make matters worse, the “mannan glue effect” causes loose particles to stick to mannan residues and soil the fabric. Including ECP1300 in detergents and stain removers can therefore greatly enhance their stain removal power by breaking down mannans so they are easier to rinse away. Combining ECP1300 with a variety of other enzymes (e.g., cellulase, lipase, and amylase), can increase the stain removal capacity of detergents even further.

Animal Nutrition

Mannans can also be found in feed products, such as those where copra meal or guar gum has been added for economic advantages. However, these mannan containing foods can be difficult for animals to digest and can have a negative effect on the growth and health of livestock such as poultry. The addition of β-mannanase can help with digestion to promote better feed conversion. ECP1300™ can also aid hydrolysis of mannan into MOS (mannan oligosaccharides), a prebiotic with many benefits such as improving gut flora to promote better animal health.

Oil and Biofuel Production

In the oil and gas industry, fracking has become a means of extracting untapped resources in shale oil fields. Guar gum is used to thicken drilling fluids, and β- mannanase can subsequently be used for thinning to help regulate flow. Forms of β-mannanase derived from fungal sources (as is ECP1300) are typically best suited to low temperature fracturing wells. On the biofuel side of the energy industry, ECP1300 can also be used as a way to hydrolyze mannans into simple sugars that can be fermented and turned into second generation ethanol.

Paper and Textile Industries

In the pulp and paper industry, β-mannanase can help increase paper brightness, potentially reducing the use of harsh chemicals for bleachingIn textile production, ECP1300 can be used for desizing and aid in the removal of impurities during bio-scouring.

Many Mannans = Many Uses for β-mannanase

With the increasing use of mannans, there are more reasons than ever to take advantage of β-mannanase. Start enhancing detergents and feeds, facilitating oil and biofuel production, and improving the paper and textile processing industries today!
