Optical Brightener Masterbatch for Enhanced Whiteness & Visual Appeal

Optical Brightener Masterbatch

Product Overview

Optical Brightener Masterbatch, also known as Fluorescent Whitening Masterbatch, is a performance additive designed to enhance the visual brightness and whiteness of plastic products. It works by masking inherent yellowness in polymers and improving overall product appearance.

These masterbatches are widely used in applications where visual clarity, brightness, and premium finish are critical.

KEY FEATURES

Enhances whiteness and brightness
Masks polymer yellowing
Improves surface gloss
Provides uniform optical appearance
Excellent dispersion in polymer matrix
Low dosage requirement
Suitable for engineering plastics

HOW IT WORKS

Optical brighteners function through a fluorescence mechanism. They absorb ultraviolet (UV) light and emit blue light in the visible spectrum. This blue emission neutralizes yellow tones, resulting in a brighter, cleaner, and fresher appearance.

  • Absorbs ultraviolet (UV) light
  • Emits blue light in the visible spectrum
  • Neutralizes yellow tones in polymers
  • Most common chemistries: Bis-benzoxazolyl-stilbene and Bis-benzoxazolyl-thiophene
