Achieving optimal whiteness in cotton fabrics during the bleaching process is a critical objective for textile manufacturers. This process relies heavily on hydrogen peroxide, a potent bleaching agent, and the effective management of its decomposition through specialized oxygen bleaching stabilizers. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. provides a technical overview to guide manufacturers in selecting the most suitable stabilizer for cotton fabrics.

Cotton, being a cellulose-based fiber, is susceptible to degradation by uncontrolled hydrogen peroxide decomposition. The presence of trace metal ions, elevated temperatures, and alkaline pH can all accelerate this decomposition, leading to reduced fabric strength and inconsistent bleaching results. Therefore, a robust oxygen bleaching stabilizer is essential. The ideal stabilizer for cotton should offer excellent chelating properties to neutralize metal ions, possess good dispersing capabilities to prevent impurity redeposition, and maintain efficacy across a range of processing conditions.

When considering textile pretreatment auxiliary chemicals, the choice between silicon-based and non-silicon stabilizers is often debated. While silicon-based stabilizers have historically been used, concerns regarding silica scale formation and its impact on fabric feel and subsequent processing have led to a growing preference for non-silicon formulations. These advanced stabilizers, like the 112CC, are engineered to provide superior performance without leaving undesirable residues. They are formulated to offer high stability to hydrogen peroxide, even under challenging alkaline and high-temperature environments commonly encountered in cotton bleaching.

The application dosage of these stabilizers is also a critical parameter. Manufacturers typically recommend specific usage rates based on the concentration of hydrogen peroxide, the type of machinery, and the desired outcome. For instance, dosages can vary significantly between batch processes and continuous steaming operations. Adhering to these guidelines ensures optimal performance and cost-effectiveness. When manufacturers decide to buy or purchase these chemicals, consulting with the supplier for tailored recommendations is always advisable.
