Clax NTR is a laundry sour specially formulated for use in commercial and on premise laundries. This product should be applied in the last rinse to neutralize residual alkali and to reduce traces of active chlorine.
Key properties
Clax NTR is an alkali and chlorine ’neutraliser’, based on bisulphites. These substances are mildly acidic and are applied to neutralise alkali present in rinsewater and on fabric. Consequently Clax NTR prevents yellowing (or galling), caused by residual alkalinity on fabric. In addition it functions as an ’anti-chlor’ (reduction process) for traces of chlorine left after the bleach process. Neutralisation of residual chlorine is essential, as traces of chlorine on fabric combined with high temperatures during drying, will cause excessive fabric damage. Accidental over-dosing of Clax NTR will not lead to a too low pH, and consequently the risk of fabric damage is minimal. An organic acids-based neutraliser should only be used in those cases where no chlorine bleach has been applied.
Clax NTR is a very effective laundry neutraliser, based on a ’2 in 1’ concept; otherwise 2 products would be needed to achieve the same results. Clax NTR can be used for all types of fabric, except for cleanroom garments.
