Instructions for use
1. Dry method:
- Add the optical brightener KSB directly to the plastic substrate before molding.
- Thoroughly mixed with the base material, then extruded and melted in the screw to form granules or special-shaped products.
2. Wet method:
- Mix the optical brightener KSB with a binder or plasticizer to form a homogeneous slurry.
- The slurry is extruded in batches together with the plastic.
3. Masterbatch method:
- Pre-mix the optical brightener KSB with the plastic substrate or resin in a ratio of 1:10-100.
- The mixture can be used directly or extruded to form a masterbatch.
4. Reference dosage:
- General dosage of plastic or resin: 0.01-0.03%, i.e. 10-30 grams per 100 kg of plastic raw material.
- specific materials
- PE: 10-25 g per 100 kg
- PP: 10-25 g per 100 kg
- PS: 10-20 g per 100 kg
- PVC: 10-30 g per 100 kg
- ABS: 10-30 grams per 100 kg
- EVA: 10-30 g per 100 kg
- Transparent plastic film: 1-10 g per 100 kg
