Ranbar KSN optical brightening agents are primarily available in two models: KSN-A type and KSN-C type. Both exhibit excellent performance, while KSN-A exhibits better weather resistance.
- Low usage, high whitening intensity; a very small amount can achieve excellent whitening effects.
- Wide application range, extensively used for whitening and brightening in polyester, nylon, polypropylene, and other polymer fibers, as well as various plastic products.
- Outstanding heat resistance and weather resistance, excellent compatibility with plastics, enhancing the whiteness, brightness, and vividness of various plastic products.
Ranbar KSN Optical Brightening Agent is primarily utilized for whitening polymer fibers such as polyester, polyamide, and polyacrylonitrile. It can also be employed in films, injection molding, and extrusion molding materials. Adding KSN at any processing stage of synthetic polymers yields excellent whitening effects.
For transparent plastics, the recommended dosage is 0.5 to 2g.
For polyester fibers, the recommended dosage is 10 to 20g.
