Product Description

Optical Brightener Diluted Grade is a ready-to-use fluorescent whitening agent solution designed to enhance whiteness and brightness in textiles, paper, plastics, and detergent formulations. It functions by absorbing ultraviolet light and re-emitting it as visible blue light, which counteracts yellowing and dullness. This diluted grade is user-friendly, easily incorporated into various industrial processes, and offers consistent brightening effects with good stability.
