ALQUAT - BBA

(2009-2010)
ALQUAT BBA
Bleach Bath Accelerator
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
PROPERTIES:

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE : BUFF COLORED

POWDER

IONIC NATURE : NONIONIC

PH OF 1% SOLUTION : 7.5 ± 1

MISCIBILITY : DISPERSIBLE IN WATER

COMPATIBILITY : COMPATIBLE WITH

NONIONIC, ANIONIC
& CATIONIC

STABILITY : STABLE
 
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
ALQUAT BBA
Benefits:

Substantial 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”.

ALQUAT BBA
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.
