EFFECTIVENESS
The action of Enzymes
Enzymes work like a pair of scissors cutting organic molecules into water-soluble microparticles.
For all organic soiling, the enzyme is much more effective than
petrochemical solutions. The enzymatic detergent irreversibly transforms organic soiling
into water-soluble residues (hydrolysis). This makes the enzyme an ultra-powerful cleaning agent!

Conventional detergent
Reversible result
The water disappears, the detergent dries and the grease is redeposited further on

Irreversible result
(hydrolysis)
The water disappears, the fat molecule is no more and only organic residues remain
BENEFITS
9 Good Reasons to Clean with a Realco Enzymatic Detergent
Let the enzyme do the work
Enzymes do a good share of the work for you. Less elbow grease, for a deep clean.
Low-temperature cleaning
Our enzymes reach their peak activity between 35 and 55 °C, and some formulas remain effective from 20 °C. Depending on your current protocol, that can mean heating your water by several tens of degrees less.
Working at neutral pH
Active at neutral pH, most of our enzyme solutions are not classified as skin irritants. Check each product’s safety data sheet.
Microbiological quality
Enzyme efficiency provides exceptional microbiological results and helps prevent the risk of bacterial contamination
Preserves your equipment
The neutral pH of our enzyme formulas avoids the chemical attack that surfaces and seals suffer with strongly alkaline or acidic products.
Biobased
The enzyme is a bio-based, renewable and biodegradable component.
Wastewater pre-treatment
Our formulas with a high enzyme content don’t stop at the cleaned surface. Once discharged into the sewer, the enzymes remain active and speed up the breakdown of organic matter by the micro-organisms in wastewater treatment plants. This is the result of research carried out from 2000 with the Intercommunale du Brabant wallon, which led to a European patent application.
Preventing blockages
Used daily, our enzyme solutions break down fats and organic residues before they build up in your pipes. Maintenance that happens with every wash, with no extra intervention.
Risk management
Enzymatic cleaning helps strengthen allergen risk management.
