Properties

CONTAVAN GAL is a non-surface active stabilizer for alkaline peroxide bleaching. The product gives non-
foaming bleaching liquors and can be applied for bleaching procedures with and without silicate of soda.

CONTAVAN GAL has excellent peroxide stabilizing properties in the presence of catalytic heavy metals such as
iron, copper and manganese.

Another special application of CONTAVAN GAL is on continuous pretreatment plants when silicate-free recipes
are used.

CONTAVAN GAL allows for excellent peroxide stability especially on fabric without hardness and ensures a very
high DP level by best efficiency of the peroxide.
