SILICATE-FREE ORGANIC STABILIZER FOR HOT PEROXIDE BLEACHING |
|||||||||||||||||
AVCO-STABILIZER HSF is a synergistic blend of organic complexes. Their combination is particularly suited for the stabilization of the peroxide in hot alkaline bleaching baths for bleaching cotton, viscouse and blends with polyester. AVCO-STABILIZER HSF does not contain any silicates,therefore, stabilization can be obtained either with or without the use of silicate. AVCO-STABILIZER HSF is free from surface active substances and is non-foaming.
SPECIFICATION:
PROPERTIES & USES: AVCO-STABILIZER HSF is an organic stabilizer that provides a perfect peroxide stabilization, without the use of silicate. When a high alkalinity and/or elevated temperature becomes responsible for an increased decomposition rate of the hydrogen peroxide AVCO-STABILIZER HSF would slow down such process and make it happen in controlled mode. Fabrics bleached with AVCO-STABILIZER HSF are highly absorbent, have very low ash content and soft handle. Fibre impurities that are difficult to remove such as calcium and magnesium pectinates, or other alkaline earth compounds originating from defoliants or minerals naturally present in raw cotton, are removed by the complexing capacity of AVCO-STABILIZER HSF. APPLICATION: Depending on the method applied, 15-20% AVCO-STABILIZER HSF are added, calculated on the amount of peroxide (35%) used. The quantities of alkali and peroxide depend on the kind of pretreatment, the quality of the fabric to be bleached, the process applied, as well as on the time and temperature of the treatment.
Peroxide bleaching liquors are ideally prepared with water of 4-8 German Hardness (5-10 English hardness). The stabilizing effect of AVCO-STABILIZER HSF alters very little, if water with a higher or lower degree of hardness is used. When preparing the bleaching liquor, it is recommended to add the ingredients in the sequence in which they are listed in the following recipes. The whiteness of bleached fabrics can be improved by using hot water containing POLYQUEST PDK for the first rinsing bath (add 1-2 g/l). Such treatment will enhance the brilliance, especially of optically brightened material. The second rinsing bath should be 80÷C and the last rinsing-bath should be cold. Recommended Recipes: Fully Continuous Processes (with de-sized fabrics)
Semi continuous Processes
High liquor ratio machines
GENERAL INFORMATION:
The following conversion factors relate to the calculation of bleaching liquor recipes:
1 ml H2O2 (35%) = 0.66 ml H2O2 (50%) 1 ml H2O2 (50%) = 1.51 ml H2O2 (35%) 1 gr c. soda = 2.50 ml caustic soda solution 36 Be'(66.4 Tw) 2.44 ml caustic soda solution 38 Be'(71.4 Tw) 1.64 ml caustic soda solution 45 Be'(91.0 Tw) 1.33 ml caustic soda solution 50 Be'(106.0 Tw) Under practical working conditions, a 50 Be’ caustic soda
solution is equivalent to a 50% lye. In order to calculate the concentration of chemicals required in the replenishing liquor for a wet-on-wet impregnation bleach – presuming an almost 100% liquor turnover – the factor F must first be determined according to the following equation: L.P.U after impregnation
F =_______________________________________________________________ L.P.U after impregnation – L.P.U before impregnation The concentration of the replenishing liquor (Cr) is determined by multiplying the desired concentration of the individual product (C) in the impregnating liquor by factor “F” Example:
Liquor pick-up after impregnation: 100 %
Liquor pick-up before impregnation: 60 % As a result, the replenishing liquor must be prepared 2.5 times stronger than the concentration in the impregnation liquor.
CR= concentration of the replenishing liquor (F x C)
F = 2.5 C = 20 ml/l product (quantity assumed) CR = 2.5 x 20 = 50 ml/l product
As a result of this example, the replenishing liquor must contain 25 ml/l of the product
