Frequently Asked Questions
What is catalase enzyme used for?
Industrial catalase (CAS 9001-05-2) is used to decompose residual hydrogen peroxide after textile and paper bleaching, and to remove residual hydrogen peroxide from process water in effluent treatment. It converts hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.
What reaction does catalase catalyze?
Catalase catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen. In textile and paper processing this is used to neutralize peroxide bleach residues efficiently before downstream steps. It is classified under HS 3507.90.
What form and activity is industrial catalase supplied in?
Catalase is supplied as a liquid enzyme preparation specified by activity units rather than by mass purity. A Certificate of Analysis stating activity is provided per lot. Specify your required activity and process conditions (pH/temperature window) for a quote.
How should bulk catalase be stored and handled?
As a biological enzyme preparation, activity is sensitive to temperature and storage time; handling, storage, and shelf-life details are stated on the product Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and technical data sheet. Refer to those documents for specific storage conditions.
What is the price of bulk catalase enzyme?
Catalase pricing depends on activity level, formulation, order volume, and packaging (drums, totes, IBCs). Request a current bulk quote with your required activity units and volume for accurate pricing.
What is the REACH and TSCA regulatory status of Catalase (Catalase Enzyme)?
Catalase (Catalase Enzyme) (CAS 9001-05-2) is subject to U.S. TSCA Inventory requirements; supplying it into the EU requires valid REACH registration ((EC) No 1907/2006). RawSource cannot verify a third-party supplier's registrations — buyers should require documented TSCA and REACH compliance for their jurisdiction and volume (EC 232-577-1).
