Clax Hypo 4AL1

Benefits

• Effective low temperature bleach system based on hypochlorite, alkali and bleach stabilizing agents
• Applied in the rinse at temperatures between 20 and 40 ºC; saves energy
• It is a very thin liquid, which makes it easily pumpable, ensuring optimal delivery in the wash solution
• Results in minimal fabric damage when used according to user instructions
• Provides good hygiene, provided the temperature and pH conditions and contact time are right

How to use

1. Dosage recommendation: 6 -15 ml/kg dry goods
2. To obtain good bleaching and to minimize fabric damage the temperature should preferably be kept at about 28 ºC
3. At this temperature the pH of the wash solution should be around 9.5
4. Please note that at a pH below 9.5, chlorine becomes more ‘active’ because of formation of higher relative concentration of hypochlorous acid; this is far more aggressive than hypochlorite and will cause excessive damage to fabric
5. Therefore proper pH control of the wash solution is essential
6. At higher pH, chlorine becomes less ‘active’ and consequently higher temperatures may be applied; at pH 10.5 bleaching should be done at 50 –55 ºC
7. Hypochlorite reacts with chlorhexidine, resulting in brown stains, which are hard to remove
8. Please make sure that, after bleaching has been completed, all residual chlorine is neutralized in the last rinse (Clax Cid; see PIS); incomplete neutralization will lead to yellowing and fabric damage during drying at elevated temperatures
9. Do not use Clax Hypo 4AL1 for cleaning nylon (polyamide; eg HTN dust mats)
