Alquat BBA

• Bleach Bath Accelerator

3
Alquat BBA

• 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.

Alquat BBA

• 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

6
BenefitsSubstantial 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

Alquat BBA

• 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.
