Presented to the Society's Manchester Region on 21 March 1985 Developments in the use of hydrogen peroxide allow major cost savings in bleaching cotton fabrics without loss of preparation quality. These developments make maximum use of the desizing and bleaching properties of hydrogen peroxide. Higher than normal alkali concentrations are used and this requires effective stabilisers. The paper considers important factors in developing more economic preparation by cold pad bleaching or pad‐steam processing, requiring only one pass through a steamer.
