Features

 

 

Optical Brightener OB-1 can be used on polyester fiber, nylon fiber, polypropylene, hard PVC, ABS, EVA, PS, polycarbonate etc. For high temperature resistant plastics, only ob-1 can be used, and the addition amount of optical brightener ob-1 is small and the whitening degree is high. We have optical brightener OB-1 in two grade, say OB-1 Yellowish and OB-1 Greenish. OB-1 Greenish is more popular on the market.

【Optical Brightener OB-1 FAQ】

 

Q1: What's the difference between OB-1 and OB?
A: Optical Brightener OB-1 has a higher melting point (358℃ vs 200℃), suitable for high-temperature engineering plastics and polyester fiber. OB is for regular plastics, coatings, and inks. If processing temperature exceeds 250℃, choose optical brightener  OB-1.

Q2: How to choose between Greenish and Yellowish?
A: Greenish is the market-preferred choice with more popular whitening effects. Request free samples for comparison testing.

Q3: Does it really work for recycled materials?
A: Yes. OB-1 is especially suitable for recycled polyester bottle flakes and chips - it not only whitens but also unifies color shade across different batches.

Q4: Can I get a sample?
A: Yes, free Greenish/Yellowish samples available. You only pay for shipping.

Q5: Does OB-1 have any certifications?
A: OB-1 is non-toxic and FDA certifiable, compliant with EU environmental standards, suitable for food contact materials.
