A new-generation bleaching system recently introduced by Virkler Co., Charlotte, is suitable for
low-concentration bleaching of knit goods in continuous and batch processes. Included in the new
system is Vircoscour CB-712, a low-foaming, wetting/dispersing agent that controls wax redeposition
or buildup and provides uniform, consistent bleaching.Continuous use of Vircolene PSD-998 peroxide
stablilizer and demineralizer, also part of the system, strips away scale deposits on the
equipment.The system needs little or no defoamer, and can be used to bleach whites in jet machines.
Use of Virklers new bleaching system results in whiter, cleaner fabric, cleaner equipment and
minimal environmental impact, according to the company.
