Optical Brightener OB-1

Optical brightener OB-1 is greenish yellow optical brightener and is efficient in the use of  polyester fibers. Its main application is plastics such as  PS, HIPS, ABS, EVA, PE,PC, PP,and rigid PVC. It has excellent thermal stability, excellent brightening effect, and very few adding amount. The invisible ultraviolet light (wavelength range is about 360-380nm)can be absorbed by it, and then convert ultraviolet light into visible and longer-wavelength blue or violet light. Thus, it can decrease the undesired yellowish color in the matrix and reflect more visible light. Then the product appears brighter, whiter, more vivid.
