Industrial Applications

This optical brightener is primarily utilized in the papermaking process to enhance the visual appeal of paper products. It is highly effective when added directly into the pulp system. The recommended dosage ranges from 0.1 percent to 1.5 percent based on the weight of absolute dry paper pulp. Users should avoid mixing this anionic product with cationic chemicals directly to prevent precipitation or reduced efficacy.

For surface sizing applications, Optical Brightening Agent 2PL-C demonstrates excellent synergy with carriers such as CMC, PVA, and starch. The typical dosage for surface sizing operations is between 0.5 and 20 grams per liter. This flexibility allows formulators to adjust concentrations based on specific whiteness requirements and substrate types. The product is easily soluble and can be diluted with water, offering convenience in application and reducing preparation time.
