Auxiliary for the demineralisation of impurities in natural cellulosic fibres.

PLEXENE® UCA is an excellent auxiliary for dispersing and extracting impurities in cellulosic fibres and calcium and magnesium compounds. At the same time, it improves the absorbency and whiteness of the fibres.

Acid demineralisation with PLEXENE® UCA followed by peroxide bleaching with wetting and washing agents can normally be used instead of combined hypochlorite/peroxide bleaching. PLEXENE® UCA also reduces incrustation with Ca compounds.

PLEXENE® UCA can also replace organic acids (formic or acetic acid) for neutralising purpose after scour boiling or peroxide bleaching. It is non-volatile.
