Full Product Description

AWAXOBRIGHT AB-CO is a fluorescent whitening agent for cellulosic fibres (cotton, viscose) and cellulose-polyamide blends. It is well suited to single-stage bleaching and whitening due to its very good stability in hydrogen peroxide. At high temperatures it penetrates the fibre for uniform whitening, and because it contains a bluish dyestuff it imparts a bluish-white cast to the material. Applied in neutral or slightly acidic hydrosulphite baths, it delivers even more pronounced whitening.

Main Benefits

  • Suited to single-stage bleach-and-whiten processes
  • Good stability in hydrogen peroxide baths
  • Uniform, high-temperature penetration for even whiteness
