Optical Brightener EBF for Polyester & Plastics | C.I. Fluorescent Brightener 185 | CAS No. 12224-41-8
Key Features
Suitable for Polyester
Optical Brightener EBF is widely used for fluorescent whitening of polyester and compatible polyester textile materials.
Suitable for Synthetic Fibers
EBF can also be used in compatible acetate, triacetate and polyamide/nylon fiber applications where fluorescent whitening is required.
Effective Optical Brightening
EBF provides a bluish fluorescent effect that helps compensate for yellowish tones and enhances the perceived whiteness and brightness of compatible materials.
Suitable for Plastic Applications
In addition to textile applications, EBF can be used in compatible polyolefin plastics, ABS engineering plastics and organic glass/plexiglass.
Broad Application Range
The combination of textile and polymer applications makes EBF suitable for customers requiring fluorescent whitening across different compatible material systems.
