Types of Textile Bleaching agent
They are in two types as follows –
Oxidizing
and
Reducing
Oxidizing
Bleaching Agent
The chemical agents which remove coloring material
from textile materials by oxidizing reaction and make the material pure white
and bright and to increase absorbency power is called oxidizing bleaching
agent. Ex: O3, Ca(OCl)Cl, H2O2, NaOCl, Ca(OCl)2,
K2Cr2O7 etc.
Generally natural vegetable fibres are bleached by
these bleaching agents.
Reducing
Bleaching Agent
The chemicals which removes coloring materials from
textile materials by reduction reaction and make the material pure white and
bright and increase absorbency power is called reducing bleaching agent. Ex: H2S,
FeSO4, NaHSO4, Na2SO4 etc.
Generally protein fibre i.e. silk, wool, etc. are
bleached by these agents.
