Textile Bleaching

The use of peroxides such as hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid for bleaching natural and synthetic fibers such as cotton, wool, silk, viscose and linen not only gives the textiles a high degree of whiteness, but also preserves the mechanical properties of the fibers.

Hydrogen peroxide is the bleaching agent of choice for the treatment of natural and synthetic fibers such as cotton, wool, rayon, silk, linen and viscose. This powerful oxidant not only provides a high level of brightness, it also preserves the mechanical properties of fibers, fabrics, and textiles. 

Peracetic acid is used for disinfection and as a bleaching agent in industrial laundries. 

What is more, both hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid break down into only biodegradable substances - thus leaving minimal trace on the environment.
