Mass whitening of synthetic fibers and plastics.

Environ Qual Saf Suppl

Published: August 1976

The evaluation of new and improved techniques has led to the development of mass whitening methods for use with synthetic fibers and plastics. The processes are complex but well defined, and call for the use of sophisticated fluorescent whitening agents (FWAs) to meet the requirements of the fiber or plastics manufacturer, the textile finisher, and the end user. The performances of some leading commercial whiteners are compared and their interactions with dyes, fillers and stabilizers are discussed.
