If the bleaching agent can act for longer, e.g. having the laundry soak overnight in the Bleach Complex, it is effective at as low as 30 °C (86 °F).

  Suitable for all washable white and colour-fast fabrics made from cotton, linen, hemp and fabric blends. Unsuitable for wool, silk, rayon, and microfibres

  Removes all oxidizable stains such as fruit, red wine, tea, coffee, grass, blood, etc.

List of ingredients as per EC 648 / 2004:

Sodium percarbonate, sodium carbonate

Product declaration:

• Sodium percarbonate > 30 %
• (Soda) sodium carbonate 15–30 %

Danger:

Contains sodium percarbonate. Harmful if swallowed. Causes serious eye damage. If medical advice is needed, have a product container or label at hand. Keep out of reach of children. Wear eye protection. If in eyes: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Immediately call a poison centre or doctor/physician.

Origin and properties of the ingredients:

Sodium percarbonate is a molecular complex obtained by hydrogen peroxide adsorbing on to sodium carbonate (wash soda). Exposed to warmth (from 50 °C / 122 °F upwards), the hydrogen peroxide is being broken down again into water and active oxygen. With increasing temperature the reaction is being accelerated in such a way that the bleaching effect in the washing machine is at its best once reached 95 °C (200 °F). The oxygen being released is especially active on organic stains such as grass stains, fruit stains, etc. by oxidizing the dyestuffs thus making them colourless, or by turning adhering, stain-causing substances into water-soluble ones again by oxidizing them.

Packaging:

• 450 g (16 oz) can: PP
• Outer package: PE

Biodegradability:

Sodium percarbonate, during the washing and bleaching process already disintegrates into mineral soda, water and oxygen, thus leaving the washing machine in a state which requires no further degradation, i.e. bleaching and degradation process are one and the same. Sodium carbonate being a mineral needs no further degradation.

• Suitable for septic tanks and filtration systems.
