Optical Brighteners Market Scope
Optical brighteners, also known as optical brightening agents (OBAs) or fluorescent brightening agents (FBAs), or fluorescent whitening agents (FWAs), are chemical compounds that absorb light in the ultraviolet and violet region of the electromagnetic spectrum and re-emit light in the blue region by fluorescence. These additives are used to mask the inherent yellowness of plastics, used to improve colors and make plastic look whiter and brighter. Optical brighteners are also used in the manufacturing of paper, textiles, plastics, paint, printing inks, and cosmetics.
