Optical Brightening Agent,Optical Brightener Manufacturers,Liquid Optical Brightening Agent,Optical Brightener Suppliers Americos Opti-Bright XBL (Fluorescent Brightener for Cotton & Pulp) Americos optical brightening agent is highly concentrated optical brightener for cellulosic fabrics. The brightness obtained by Americos Optibright XBL has a bluish tone. It is used in low dosages and is cost effective.

The advantages of Americos Opti-Bright XBL are:

• It does not cause yellowing
• It gives excellent brightness to cellulase.
• It is provide fluorescent brightness to pulp
• It does not form micro lumps on the fabric and avoids patch formation that is generally caused, due to the un-dissolved particles of conventional brightening agent.
• It is effective in lower concentration

Properties:



Applications
Americos Opti-bright XBL can be applied at the final stage of processing or a stage earlier. It can be used in hydrogen peroxide/chlorine bleaching bath at elevated temperature of up to 150°C. The dosage may vary from 0.1% to 0.5% (on weight of material). The processing time can be adjusted between 10 to 30 minutes.

Storage & handling precautions

• Store in cool place
• Avoid storing in direct sunlight Americos Optibright XBL should be stored at ambient temperatures.
• Do not allow freezing. If this product is stored for longer period, it is advisable to mix product well before its uses.
• The shelf-life of Americos Opti-Bright XBL is one year if stored temperature below 40oC.
• The usual precaution in keeping chemicals away from eyes and skin should be observed

Optical Brightening Agent,Optical Brightener Manufacturers,Liquid Optical Brightening Agent,Optical Brightener Suppliers Americos White R Liquid (Fluorescent brightening agent)
Americos White R Liquid is fluorescence brightening agent for polyester fibers. It gives brilliant whitening effect which has good fastness to sublimation, light and wet processing. It can be applied by high temperature exhaust or pad-thermo sol method and suitable for whitening effect on texturised polyester and polyester / cotton. It is available as nonionic fluid dispersion greenish yellow in colour. The dispersion is miscible with water and can be diluted to any desired concentration by adding water to it. It is recommended to adjust the ph of the bath between 4.5-5.5 as whitening effect may be reduce in extremely acidic or alkaline condition.

Method of application
Preparation of dispersion
The required amount of Americos White R Liquid is weighed out and stirred with 20 times of its weight of soft water at room temperature. The required volumes are made up adding more soft water.

High-temperature method:
The bath is prepared with 0.1-0.35 % Americos White R Liquid 1.0 g/l suitable dispersing agent pH 4.5-5.5 with acetic acid Material to liquor ratio 1:10

The material is entered at about 50ºC and the temperature is slowly raised to 130ºC within 45-60 minutes. The treatment is continued at this temperature for about 30-45 minutes. The material is then washed in cold water and soaped at 60º-70ºC for 10-15 minutes in 2 g/l. Neutral detergent.

Pad-Thermosol method:
Padding:
The fabric is padded through a pad-liquor containing 1-5 g/l Americos White R Liquid at room temperature keeping 60-80% expression. The padded fabric is dried at approximately 120°-140ºC fixations. The fixation condition depends on fabric construction. Heavy or densely woven fabric requires higher fixation temperature or longer fixation time than lighter fabric with open weave.

However, following fixation condition may be taken as general recommendation:
For normal polyester & polyester / cotton: 180º-185ºC for 10-15 seconds.
For Texturised polyester : 170º-180ºC
The thermo fixed material may be given rinsing and light soaping treatment with 2g/l neutral detergent at 60º-70ºC. For 10-15 minutes.

Note: The recommendation is based on laboratory experiments and to be considered as guide lines only. For bulk production, it is necessary to carry out small scale trails to conform the local conditions.
