IFF delivers enzymes to a variety of industrial markets that enable safer, faster and more sustainable processes.
Replacing harsh chemicals or petrochemical ingredients with sustainable alternatives, our biobased solutions offer more sustainable choices for our customers – and theirs.
Our enzymes are engineered for optimal performance under a wide range of conditions and compete with more conventional processes in terms of both performance and cost-effectiveness.
See how together with our customers, we’re satisfying the growing demand for traceable supply chains and sustainable products around the world.
Many semiconductor fabricators choose to decompose residual H₂O₂ from their wastewater effluent streams. IFF’s OPTIMASE® portfolio of catalases decomposes H₂O₂ to generate water and molecular oxygen quickly and cleanly via biocatalysis.
IFF delivers enzymes to the textile processing industry that enable effective, safer and more sustainable textile processes – while remaining cost effective.
IFF’s portfolio of enzymes for industrial markets is being used in industries around the globe.
IFF enzymes have been engineered for the pulp and paper industry, cleaning-in-place, membrane cleaning, medical instruments and food diagnostics, oil & gas production, and many others.
Our range of betaine and inositol products are also used for crop protection and corrosion-free de-icing of air frames.
Over the past decade, IFF Health & Biosciences has developed a new-to-the-world technology platform called Designed Enzymatic Biomaterials™ (DEB).
With DEB, we can now create polysaccharides from the enzymatic polymerization of simple sugars, which are highly-tailored for a range of industrial applications.
DEB represents a new way to make polysaccharides at scale—bringing the advantages of petroleum-based polymers together with the sustainability profile of a bio-based material.
Welcome to the future of biomaterials.
We apply regenerative principles as a core business strategy to drive positive change within industrial markets—while extending the definition of natural for a new generation.
The sustainability benefits of IFF’s enzyme portfolio for industrial markets are very specific, based on the area in which applied. See how enzymes provide sustainability benefits, specifically within the semi-conductor industry:
Peroxide can be removed using chemical reducing agents like sodium bisulfite – but these can be hazardous and work on a stochiometric basis, making them relatively expensive. Enzymes are a safer and more cost-effective biological alternative.
Enzymes offer an effective solution for removing specific chemicals from an industrial waste water stream. For instance, IFF enzymes may be used as an effective remediation of peroxide in semiconductor wastewater.
Using chemical reducing agents for peroxide remediation produces salt as a by-product, which requires further clean-up. By contrast, enzymes produce only water oxygen – simple, efficient and clean.
Enzymes are naturally biodegradable proteins. Enzymes from IFF are made via fermentation using raw materials such as soy, wheat and corn.
