Bactosol ARL liquid conc.

Bactosol ARL liquid c is a powerful enzyme
for the bio-removal of hydrogen peroxide. It
substitutes all sulfur and nitrogen-based reducing
agents normally used as peroxide killers.

Sirrix NE liquid
Sirrix NE liquid is a strong neutralizing agent. Its
synergetic association of organic acids allows a
perfect adjusting of the desired pH on the whole
range.
Core neutralization of the fiber

No buffer or blocking effect during dyeing

Biodegradable
