Product Description

Optical Brightener Conc Grade is a highly concentrated fluorescent whitening agent used to enhance the brightness and whiteness of textiles, paper, plastics, and detergents. It works by absorbing ultraviolet light and re-emitting it as visible blue light, thereby compensating for yellowing and dullness in materials. This brightener is valued for its excellent compatibility, high efficiency, and stability in various industrial applications, particularly in detergents and textile processing.
