Amino acid chlorine scavenger systems: HenkelRecent Research Landscape

Chlorine-induced fiber degradation and dye fading during high-pH laundering reduce garment lifespan. These formulations utilize specific amino acid chemistries to neutralize oxidative species and stabilize the fabric matrix.

What technical problems is Henkel addressing in Amino acid chlorine scavenger systems?

Oxidative dye degradation

(11)evidences

Residual chlorine in wash water causes irreversible chemical damage to textile pigments. Preventing this oxidative attack preserves garment color and structural integrity during high-pH laundering.

Chlorine induced fabric dye degradation

(6)evidences

Residual chlorine in wash water causes oxidative degradation of textile dyes during laundering. Preventing this chemical attack preserves garment aesthetics and extends product lifespan.

Textile soil redeposition

(5)evidences

Excessive moisture retention in textile structures leads to prolonged drying times and high energy consumption. Reducing water affinity in fabrics accelerates processing and improves consumer convenience.
