Optical Brightener OB
Optical brighteners has the function of improving the whiteness in both plastics and textile fibers. In nylon fibers and polyester, optical brightener gives a pleasing white appearance. With its good thermal stability, excellent brightening ability, and compatibility with many polymers, It is effective in the brightening of many plastics. Optical Brightener OB provides an outstanding white and permanent color as it can be dissolved in the polymer or fiber during polymer production. This permanence gives much better brightness retention by comparing with methods like surface treatment with optical brighteners or bleaching. They can absorb ultraviolet radiation and re-emit blue light. The emitted blue light can reduce the yellow color of the polymer.
