Ketoprep-LA (Conc) is a novel, all in one pretreatment product. It is a biodegradable product and require low alkali during bleaching of cellulosic substrate. Bleaching with Ketoprep-LA (Conc) exhibits very good softness, absorbency, rewetting and whiteness than the conventional bleached fabric. Bleached fabrics confer low strength loss and weight loss as a concentration of alkali used in bleaching is low. Yarn bleached with Ketoprep-LA (Conc) decreases the coefficient of friction, improves strength and reduces hairiness to a certain extent.

Instructions For Dilution
Procedure to prepare 20% diluted product from Ketoprep-LA(Conc)
- Take 700 kg of DM water in vessel
- To this, gradually add 300 kg of Ketoprep-LA(Conc)
- Mix well at 50-60 rpm to get homogenous product.
It is advisable to utilize the diluted product within 2 months. Stir well before use.
Storage : Store in cool, ventilated shed away from heat and direct sunlight. Storage temperature should not exceed 35 deg C. Close lids firmly to avoid contact with air and moisture.
