Bleach Bath Accelerator

(2014-2015)
Alquat CLA is a bleach bath accelerator
designed for catalyzing faster formation of
active bleaching species resulting in
enhanced productivity and optimizing the
quantity of hypo chloride required.
Alquat CLA is nitrogen containing surface-
active agent. Due to its cationic character it
also minimizes back staining.

.






Properties:

Physical appearance : Colouless pale yellow liquid

Ionic nature : Weakly cationic

pH of 1% solution : 7 1

Miscibility : Miscible in water

Compatibility : Compatible with nonionic,
Anionic & cationic

Stability : Stable


Features:
Ensures over 50% reduction in chlorine bleach concentration & also
half the reduction in time to achieve the same bleach effects.
The reduction in dosage of Sodium hypochlorite and Processing time
results in following benefits.

Reduced fabric damage

Lower localized abrasion and streak
marks

Reduced quantities of antichlor and
peroxide in subsequent steps

Reduced quantities of objectionable
gases and odour in the local
environment

Benefits:

Substantial reduction in bleach cycle time allowing
for improved productivity.
Bleaching process at lower temperatures allowing
savings in fuel costs & energy costs.
Vastly reduced effluent quantities


Ecofriendly & environmentally safe.
Benefits in processing of tencel blends:

Tencel is a regenerated cellulosic fibre, advantageously
used with cotton to give improved aesthetics and
comfort. However tencel is easily damaged while
bleaching with Sodium hypochlorite.

Alquat BBA reduces the damage to the blended
garment due to the reduction in the processing time as
well as reduction in the damage due to Sodium
hypochlorite solution.

It also lowers the excessive fibrillation of tencel, which
normally requires a biopolishing operation to be
carried out subsequently

Application:

It is a highly active chlorine bleach accelerant,
& hence small amounts are sufficient to permit
a high percentage reduction in chlorine bleach
concentration.

As a starting point, use 1.0-2.0% . Alquat-CLA
& cut the amount of chlorine bleach by 50%.
Other modifications of the bleach cycle, such as
time should be made after the initial
evaluations. Add the Alquat-CLA to the bath
and agitate to uniformly disperse throughout
the load prior to addition of the chlorine
bleach. Peroxide neutralization may be
required if whiter, brighter shades are desired.

Sand Blast Effect:
Here Alquat CLA in thickened form is applied by brush or
sprayed on the garment followed by line drying,
subsequent bleaching step results in the
sprayed/painted areas being lighter in contrast to the
rest of the garment

Alquat CLA may be applied in a pattern by a hand brush
on all the parts of the garment which need to be high
lighted, followed by drying, subsequent conventional
bleaching with hypochlorite achieves the desired results.

Alquat CLA may be screen-printed followed by drying
and bleaching. This allows various different motifs and
prints to be achieved on the garment.

Over View:
50% reduction in chlorine bleach
concentration
Reduced fabric damage
Improved productivity
Less load on effluent
Is ECO FRIENDLY & ENVIRONMENTALLY
SAFE.
