Abstract: Optical brighteners (PAB) of formula wherein each n independently signifies 1 or 2, the group SO3M shown with the floating bond is linked to the position 4 or 5, each M independently signifies an equivalent of a non-chromophoric cation, each M? independently signifies hydrogen or M, at least a part of the cations M of (PAB) are cationic groups of a polycationic polyol/epichlorohydrin/amine polymer (PA), which contains quaternary ammonium groups in salt form as heteroatomic ring members or chain members, any others being cations selected from alkali metal cations, unsubstituted ammonium and ammonium substituted with C1-3-alkyl or/and C2-3-hydroxyalkyl, the polycationic polymer (PA) is a polymer which is at least in part crosslinked over one or more of its quaternary ammonium groups, any other counterions to the cationic groups of (PA) being non-chromophoric anions of low molecular acids, and the ratio of the total anionic groups in the anionic optical brightener portion of (PAB) to the total of cationi

Abstract: A process and formulation for pre-treating a cellulosic, or cellulosic blend with synthetic fiber, substrate, achieving sufficient clearness and appropriate absorbency prior to dyeing the substrate. The process having the steps of: providing a vessel; providing a cellulosic, or their blends with synthetic fiber, substrate; providing a water bath; adding an active amount of an activating compound selected from the group of: salts of organic acids, organic amine derivatives, transitional metals salts and complexes, pigments, and combinations thereof; adding an active amount of caustic soda; adding an active amount of hydrogen peroxide; achieving a pH from about 6.0 to about 9.0 at the end of the bleaching cycle; heating the water bath to a temperature in excess of 50 degrees centigrade for a pre-determined period of time; and dropping the bath.
