This document summarizes Essbleach-BL, a low temperature bleach activator for cotton and its blends. Some key points:
- Essbleach-BL allows bleaching of cotton at lower temperatures of 75-80°C, saving energy, time and costs compared to conventional bleaching at 95°C.
- It catalyzes peroxide bleaching at lower temperatures, reducing weight loss and strength loss compared to higher temperature bleaching.
- Essbleach-BL is a dark green liquid that is non-ionic, miscible with water, and compatible with anionic, cationic and non-ionic products. It is stable to dilute acids and alkalies.
