Application of Multifunctional Scouring Agent for Cotton Fabric Bleaching

Abstract:

Multi-functional scouring agent (M.F.S.A.) successfully can replace caustic soda, soda ash, scouring agent and H₂O₂ –bleach stabilizer. It has strong properties of washing, dispersing, emulsifying and chelating, particularly applicable to bleach bath. In this experiment three processes like desizing, scouring and bleaching were done by single stage. Grey fabrics (woven) were treated by using various concentrations of M.F.S.A. and H₂O₂ at different temperature variation. The maximum value of whiteness of treated fabric were found at 80°C by using the concentration of M.F.S.A. and H₂O₂ (3.0 g/L and 3.0 g/L respectively). Also minimize required number of chemical used for bleaching process; here only two chemicals used for whole process. No additional chemicals used for water treatment and washing of treated fabric. After process only cold wash were done. Finally by using less concentration of both M.F.S.A. and H₂O₂ have got comparatively better result for whiteness and tensile strength.
