BLEACHING OF CHEMICAL FIBRES
1. DESCRIPTION OF TECHNIQUES, METHODS AND EQUIPMENT
Chemical fibres usually are already white when bought. However, to achieve full-white, bleaching is necessary. In addition, yellowing can occur after heat-setting.
Both reductive and oxidative bleaching can be applied.
Reductive bleaches:
- sodium dithionite
- sodium- and zinc-formaldehyde
Oxidative bleaches:
- sodium chlorite (except for polyurethane)
NOT suitable for chemical fibres:
- H2O2
- hypochlorite
- potassium permanganate
Chemical fibre bleaching is carried out in full bath, not with steam – as sometimes applied to natural fibres.
continuous bleaching: f.ex. “boot plant” (Stiefel Anlage)
