HELAR (CONC) | Potassium permanganate neutralizer

Helar (Conc) is a special formulation to remove residues of potassium permanganate and hypochlorite from denim garments and other garments. Helar (Conc) works much more efficiently in removing dirty brown stains after bleaching with potassium permanganate, as compared to sodium metabisulphite and other inorganic products commonly used in garment industry. It gives white and brighter surface to denim and other garments.

Depending upon quantity of residual chemicals at the end of potassium permanganate treatment of garments, treat in fresh bath with;  

Dosage* : 0.2-0.5% 

Bath pH : 4.5-5.5 

Bath Temp. : 30-40 deg.C 

Time : 15-20 min. 

Followed by rinsing and softening as usual. 

* Dosage of Helar (Conc) recommended is based on the presence of active chlorine or kmno4 

* 1 g/l Helar (Conc) neutralise 1.67 g/l active chlorine

* 1 g/l Helar (Conc) neutralise 0.56 g/l kmno4

Concentration of Helar (Conc) may be optimised in lab before bulk trials.
