Properties: Structure:a compound of benzoxazole type Melting point:200-202°C Solubility:hardly soluble in water,but soluble in paraffins,mineral oils and ordinary organic solvents.
Applications: OB can be used for whitening thermoplastic plastics,PVC,PS,PE,PP,ABS,Acetate fier,paint,coating.printing ink,etc..It can be added at any stge in prodess for process for shitening the polymers and can give the finished products a bright bluish white glaze.
Directions for use and dosage: The dosage should be 0.01-0.05% on weight of plastic.Put whitening Agent OB into plastic pellets,mix the mixture thoroughly and then carry out shaping.Fluorescent whitening Agent OB is similar to Uvitex OB made in foreign country.
Optical brighteners,optical brightening agents(OBAs),fluorescent brightening agents(FBAs), orfluorescent whitening agents(FWAs), are chemical compounds that absorb light in theultravioletand violet region (usually 340-370 nm) of theelectromagnetic spectrum, and re-emit light in the blue region (typically 420-470 nm) through the phenomenon offluorescence. These additives are often used to enhance the appearance of color offabricandpaper, causing a "whitening" effect; they make intrinsically yellow/orange materials look less so, by compensating the deficit in blue and purple light reflected by the material, with the blue and purple optical emission of the fluorophore
