Optical Brightener CXT is a high performance optical brightener specially formulated for cellulosic fibers. CXT's unique properties and capabilities make it ideal for enhancing the brightness and whiteness of cotton, linen and silk fabrics. This whitening agent ensures that textiles achieve an exceptionally bright appearance while maintaining their integrity throughout the processing stages.
Main features and typical advantages:
1. High fluorescence intensity: One of the outstanding features of the optical brightener CXT is its high fluorescence intensity. This characteristic allows CXT-treated fabrics to exhibit good brightness under various lighting conditions, including natural and artificial light. The vibrant appearance it imparts to fabrics makes it an option for manufacturers to achieve striking white textiles.
2. Highly whitening: CXT can greatly improve the whiteness of cellulosic fibers. This is critical for manufacturers looking to produce bright, attractive textiles that meet consumer demand. Achieving high whiteness with CXT not only improves aesthetics but also adds value to the product.
3. Good washing fastness: Another important benefit of using CXT is its good wash fastness. Fabrics treated with this whitening agent retain their brightness and whiteness even after multiple washes, ensuring long-term consumer appeal. This durability increases the overall quality perception of the textile.
4. Achieve one-time bleaching and whitening effect: CXT is able to achieve both bleaching and whitening effects in one treatment. This dual functionality simplifies textile processing, reduces the need for multiple handlings and increases the efficiency of the production process.
Product features:
1. Appearance: Fluorescent whitening agent CXT is white or light yellow powder. It comes in powder form, making it easy to handle and incorporate into a variety of textile processing systems.
2. Ionicity: CXT is an anionic product, which enhances its compatibility with other textile auxiliaries and dyes commonly used in textile processing. This feature ensures that CXT mixes easily with other treatments without adverse reactions.
3. UV absorbency: CXT absorbs UV light in the 360-380 nm range. This property makes it an effective optical brightener as it enhances the fabric's reflectivity to UV rays, resulting in a more radiant and vibrant appearance.
Product application:
Optical brightener CXT is specially designed for the whitening process of cotton and its blended fabrics. It is also suitable for linen and silk fabrics, making it a versatile choice for a variety of textile applications. CXT can be effectively used in the exhaust process, leveraging its whitening properties to achieve desired whiteness and brightness levels.
1. Cotton and blended fabrics: CXT is particularly effective at whitening cotton fabrics, providing good brightness and a clean appearance. Its compatibility with blended fabrics ensures manufacturers can achieve consistent results across a variety of textile compositions.
2. Linen and Silk: CXT’s versatility also extends to other cellulosic fibers such as linen and silk. Its gentle formula ensures these delicate fabrics maintain their quality and integrity while achieving greater whiteness and brightness.
3. Waste gas treatment: CXT is ideally suited for exhaust dyeing processes, effectively increasing the brightness of fabrics in just one treatment step. This capability simplifies production processes and increases textile production efficiency.
Preparation:
1. Make a paste: Start by mixing 1 part CXT with 2 parts cold water into a paste. This initial step ensures that the product is fully hydrated and ready for further dilution.
2. Dilution: Gradually add 70-80 parts of hot water to the paste in a ratio of 50 times the amount of prepared paste. Stir the mixture evenly to make sure the whitener is completely dissolved and evenly distributed.
3. Ready to use: Once diluted, the solution can be used in the whitening process of various fabrics.
