METHOD OF FERMENTATION AND PEROXIDE BLEACHING OF FLAX-CONTAINING FABRICS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC D06L3/02 D06L3/14 C12S3/06 

FIELD: textile, cotton.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to the textile industry in particular, to the technology of the bleaching of flax-containing fabrics and can be used for the production of the bleached woven linens or for the preparation of the fabrics for colouring and stamping. It describes the method of the fermentation and peroxide bleaching of the flax-containing fabrics including enzymatic procession by the soaking into the 40-45°C solution of the multienzyme preparation with the indicator the enzyme activity, in un/ml: endopolygalacturonase - 7-10; α-amylase - 8.8-9.2; β- amylase - 0.5-0.6; γ- amylase - 0.2-0.5; pectinesterase - 1.0-1.5; exopolygalacturonase - 0.5-0.7; exogalactosidase - 0.3-0.4; exoxylosidase - 0.2-0.3; exoglucanase - 0.3-0.5, with the addition of the sodium bicarbonate 20-25 g/l and penetrating agent, maturing the wet squeezed fabric and its steaming in 85-95°C temperature during 20-30 min.; intermediate washing with the acidification in oxalic acid solution 2.5-5 g/l, high-temperature peroxide bleaching by the stabilised alkaline-peroxide solution with the peroxide concentration 2.2-2.9 g/l with active oxygen for one stage, washing and drying.

EFFECT: invention helps to increase the level of the removal of starch size before peroxide bleaching up to 80-85%; it increases the speed of the capillary soaking of water solution and improves uniformity of the capillary characteristics of the fabric; it increases the strength properties of the fabric, decreases its rigidity to 96-125 mN·cm² because of larger removal of the lignin; it decreases the attenuationof the dyeing of colour warpings of the tapestry linens; it simplifies the process and reduce its duration.
