Abstract
Abstract In aqueous peroxide-containing solutions used in bleaching of cellulose fiber, peroxide stability is very greatly increased by inclusion of alkali metal polyphosphate and alkali metal diethylene triamine penta(methylene phosphonate). Especially useful for addition of such stabilizers to the peroxide-containing solutions to increase such stability are essentially anhydrous compositions containing metal sequestering compounds comprising such polyphosphate and phosphonate in a weight ratio from about 10:1 to about 1:5.
