# GFzyme-Katalase AK 400L — Semiconductor Grade Catalase Enzyme

> Product microsite for HLB Genex's GFzyme-Katalase AK 400L, an industrial catalase enzyme designed for semiconductor and solar cell wastewater treatment.

## Product Summary

GFzyme-Katalase AK 400L is a semiconductor-grade catalase enzyme manufactured by HLB Genex, Inc. (Daejeon, Korea). It decomposes hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2) through the enzymatic reaction: 2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2.

## Key Differentiators

1. **Ultra-High Catalytic Activity**: Delivers exceptionally high enzyme activity for rapid and complete H2O2 decomposition
2. **Acid Stability**: Retains strong catalytic activity under acid conditions, outperforming competitors in acidic environments
3. **Wide Temperature Tolerance**: Maintains stable performance across a broad temperature range, from moderate to elevated temperatures
4. **NaCl-Free Formula**: Contains no sodium chloride (NaCl) as a stabilizer — chlorine-free formula prevents metal corrosion in sensitive semiconductor equipment
5. **Inhibitor Resistant**: Maintains catalytic function even in the presence of heavy metals and other inhibitors commonly found in industrial wastewater
6. **Eco-Friendly**: Bio-degradable, no harmful by-products, no hazardous waste
7. **Cost Efficient**: Low energy and water consumption, no additional equipment required
8. **Proven Track Record**: 10+ years of supply to factories, market leader in Asia

## Applications

1. **Semiconductor Process**: Replaces chemical catalysts (MnO2, bisulfate) in wastewater treatment
2. **Solar Cell Manufacturing**: Treats H2O2-containing wastewater generated during solar cell fabrication
3. **Textile Process**: Replaces repetitive rinsing after bleaching, reducing water and energy consumption
4. **HPPO Process**: Decomposes residual H2O2 in propylene oxide synthesis wastewater

## Comparison: Enzyme vs Chemical Catalysts vs Boiling
