Pretreatment products CLARITE GS bleach-processor CLARITE COM bleach-processor INVADINE DA surfactant ULTRAVON EL surfactant INVATEX AC cracking agent INVATEX SA cracking agent INVAZYME CAT enzyme Processor for batchwise, discontinuous systems. Crystallization and precipitation-inhibiting action in heavily soiled bleaching systems such as one-stage rapid bleaching, and in extremely short-liquor-ratio machines. Contains no surfactant; anionic. Combination product for batch-wise bleaching with peroxide. Regulates the formation of active oxygen. No other additions to the bleach bath required than hydrogen peroxide and alkali. Good detergency and emulsifying properties. Anionic/nonionic. Low foaming wetting agent and detergent for discontinuous pretreatment and continuous immersion processes. Good detergency/emulsifying properties and good hydrophilicity of the goods. Very effective also on synthetics and Elastane. APEO-free, anionic/ nonionic. Dissolves grease and oil readily. High wetting/detergent/dispersing power reinforced by a crystallization-retarding complexing action. Lowfoaming, stable at high alkali concentrations (up to 0 g/l caustic soda %). Suitable for enzymatic desizing. Stain-removing action at high concentrations. APEO-free, anionic. Special cracking agent to optimize the washing process, mainly applied after bleaching or mercerizing. Core neutralization of the cellulose fiber and extremely clean fabrics through thorough removal of traces of impurities at the final rinsing stage. High complexing/disper - sing power and threshold effect. Contains no phosphorous or sur factant, anionic. Versatile sequestrant mixture, especially for acid and alkaline cracking. Marked retardation of crystallization, high capacity to inactivate heavy metal ions in highly alkaline media. Stable to oxidation and effective at high alkali concentrations (>0 g/l caustic soda %). Prevents precipitation in causticizing, mercerizing and caustic soda recuperation baths. Contains no surfactant, anionic. Stabilized, liquid catalase. The catalase enzyme removes the hydrogen peroxide specifically by splitting it into oxygen and water. Improves shade reproducibility without loss of color yield with dyes that are sensitive to oxidation processes. Outstanding biodegradability. Very broad application spectrum: ph 3 10 and temperature up to 6 C.

Neutralizing/final clearing with INVATEX AC at 0 60 C for 10 min. Without draining, remove peroxide with INVAZYME CAT at 0 60 C for 10 min; dyeing can be performed in the same bath. For goods with high alkaline earth and heavy metal ion contents, it is advisable to carry out an acid cracking process before bleaching to enhance effects and process safety.
