Optical Brightener KCB for Plastics | C.I. Fluorescent Brightener 367 | CAS No. 5089-22-5
Key Features
Effective Optical Brightening
KCB provides blue fluorescence that helps compensate for yellowish tones and enhances the perceived whiteness and brightness of compatible polymer materials.
Broad Plastic Compatibility
Optical Brightener KCB is used in a variety of plastics, including EVA, PE, PP, PVC, PS and ABS.
Particularly Suitable for EVA
KCB is widely used in EVA applications and is particularly relevant to products such as EVA foamed materials and shoe-related polymer products.
Suitable for Synthetic Fibers
In addition to plastics, KCB can also be used for fluorescent whitening of compatible synthetic fibers, including polyester applications.
Suitable for Coatings
KCB also has applications in compatible paint and coating systems where improved optical brightness and appearance are required.
