Cloro-free bleaching

Ecological alternative to the traditional Hypochlorite bleaching on denim. Thanks to the use of a Peroxide activator and an appropriate sequestering agent it is possible to carry out bleaching treatment at low temperatures and/or moderately alkaline pH; the result is a good degradation of indigo and indigo/sulphur dyed garments without staining of the white weft. The absence of Chlorine makes the process suitable also for garments containing elastomer.
