Bleach Bath Accelerator is a unique catalyst and desorbing agent designed to greatly accelerate the action of chlorine bleach on indigo. It allows for substantial reductions in chlorine bleach concentrations, bleach cycle time, and process temperatures while achieving the same shade. Key benefits include reduced fabric damage, improved productivity through shorter cycle times, lower environmental impact through reduced effluent, and reduced costs through lower temperatures and chemical use. It is especially useful for bleaching tencel blends, reducing damage and fibrillation compared to sodium hypochlorite alone.

(2014-2015)

2. A unique catalyst & desorbing agent designed to greatly
accelerate action of chlorine bleach on Indigo.
It performs synergistically when used in
chlorine bleach processes; enabling
substantial reductions in chlorine bleach
concentrations, bleach cycle time and/or
process temperatures to achieve a given
shade.

3. Properties:
Physical appearance : Buff colored powder
Ionic nature : Nonionic
pH of 1% solution : 7.5 ± 1
Miscibility : Dispersible in water
Compatibility : Compatible with nonionic,
Anionic & cationic
Stability : Stable

4. 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

5. 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”.

6. 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

7. 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-BBA
& 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-BBA 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.

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