    Super white wash

     Super white wash is another form of bleach wash.
    Super white wash is provided on garments made
    from grey fabric & the desired garments is of white
    color. Due to this wash the garments become super
    white in color.This wash is only given to heavy
    woven fabric garments because two steps of
    bleaching is done.

     Step-1:Scouring :
     1.Add water @ 1:5=500 L, start the m/c & run the m/c for
    2-5 mins to soak the garments. Then add the following
    chemicals gradually over 5-7 mins:
     #Detergent………@2%.....2 KG
     #Caustic soda……@10%...10 KG
     #Hydrogen Peroxide…@12%...12L
     Soad Ash………………….@8 gm/L= 8 Kg
     #Stabilizer……………@5%....5L
     #Time X Temp…………75 mins X 95ᵒC
     After completion drain off the liqour.
    Washing Mechanism

     During this period detergent & caustic soda
    combindly act on fabric & remove size materials,
    oils, wax, pectose etc.(the natural impurities) from
    the fabric. The hydrogen peroxide produces per
    hydroxyl ions that destroys the natural coloring
    particle present in the garments, as a result the
    garments become white in color from the natural
    grey color.
     Presence of the stabilizer confirms the steady
    production of per hydroxyl ions. The soda ash also
    maintains the PH of the liquor to 10-11.

     Step-2:Rinsing:(Optional)
     1.Add water@1:2/3=200L-300L water.
     2.Raise the temperature of the wash bath to 40ᵒ & wash
    for 5-7 minutes.
     3.By this process the loose starch particles & other
    adjacent impurities will be washed away from the
    garments.
     4.Drain off the liquor.
     The reason rinsing is optional because the next step is
    Bleaching in which any remaining starch materials will be
    dissolved so they don’t create any more problem.

     Step-3:Bleaching :
     1.Add water @ 1:5=500 L, start the m/c & run the m/c for
    2-5 mins to soak the garments. Then add the following
    chemicals gradually over 5-7 mins:
     #Detergent………@2%.....2 KG
     #Caustic soda……@4%...4 KG
     #Hydrogen Peroxide…@8%...8L
     #Stabilizer……………@4%....4L
     Soda Ash………………@5 gm/L....5 Kg
     #Time X Temp…………90 mins X 95ᵒC
     After completion drain off the liqour.
    Washing Mechanism

     In this process the Hydrogen peroxide destroys the
    remaining natural coloring particles creating a
    natural white color for the garments.
     Presence of the stabilizer in the wash bath ensures
    the steady production of per hydroxyl ions because
    over 80ᵒC the Peroxide is exhausted very quickly.
     Soda ash is used in the liquor for maintaining the PH
    level at 10-11.
     detergent & caustic soda combindly act on fabric &
    remove the remaining fabric impurities.
    Variables

     It is important to use less amount of chemicals in the
    bleaching process than scouring otherwise the fabric
    structure can be damaged.
     If you want to change the fading effect the amount of
    Hydrogen per-oxide should be changed. For less white
    we can consider bleaching powder or sodium
    hypochlorite.
     If the amount of peroxide is changed then the amount of
    stabilizer & soda ash will also be changed
    proportionately.
     For variation of color the washing time & temp. is also
    changed.

     Step-4:Rinsing:(Optional)
     1.Add water@1:2/3=200L-300L water.
     2.Raise the temperature of the wash bath to 40ᵒ & wash
    for 5-7 minutes.
     3.By this process the loose starch particles & other
    adjacent impurities will be washed away from the
    garments.
     4.Drain off the liquor.
     The reason rinsing is optional because the next step is
    Bleaching in which any remaining starch materials will be
    dissolved so they don’t create any more problem.

     Step-5:Neutralization:
     1.Add water@1:5=500L water.
     2.Add Acetic acid @2 ml/L=1L to the liquor
     3.Wash for 5-7 mins at room temp.
     4.By this process the additional bleach present in the
    garments after wash will be removed & the PH level of
    the garments will be controlled at 6.8-7.2.
     5.It is an important process because if the extra bleach is
    present in the garments then after storing it for 15-30 days
    yellow color stain will be developed in the garments due
    to chlorinization/oxidation.

     Step-6:Softening:
     1.Add water@1:3=300L water.
     2.Add softener(silicon) @0.5%-1% =500 ml-1L.
     3.Add FBA/FWA @1%=1KG.
     3.Wash for 5-10 minutes at room temperature.
     4.Drain of the liquor.
     5.By this process the garments will posses a soft hand-feel
    & the white color of the garments is increased possessing
    a brilliant bluish white color.
     Step-7:Hydroextruct
     Step-8:Drying
