We assist customers in selecting suitable optical brighteners according to different materials, formulations and processing conditions. Focusing on whitening efficiency, thermal and processing stability, yellowing resistance, compatibility and dispersibility, we help customers achieve consistent whitening performance while optimizing dosage and overall formulation cost.
Optical brighteners are widely used in polyester and other synthetic fibers to improve whiteness, brightness and the visual appearance of finished textiles. However, selecting a suitable optical brightener is not simply a matter of choosing the product with the strongest fluorescence. Different t...
Recycled plastics often present greater color challenges than virgin materials. Depending on the source and processing history, recycled polymers may appear: Yellowish Gray Dull Inconsistent in color Less bright than virgin resin For manufacturers producing white or ligh...
Optical brighteners are normally used at very low addition levels, but in some plastic formulations manufacturers may encounter problems such as: Surface blooming Migration Uneven fluorescence Blue spots Powder-like deposits Changes in surface appearance These problems do not necessarily mean tha...
