Abstract (en)

Lyocell which has been cross-linked with a nitrogen containing compound to reduce the tendency of the lyocell to fibrillate is bleached with an oxygen bleaching composition which comprises peracetic acid or its anion. Advantageously the composition comprises a major part of hydrogen peroxide and a minor part of peracetic acid or its anion, thereby combining the strong oxidising capability of peracetic acid with the ability to produce good bleaching under alkaline conditions. The peracetic acid may be generated by reacting an acetyl donating bleach activator such as tetraethylene diamine with excess hydrogen peroxide.
