The application of Jinan Tonex Chemical optical brightener OB in paint, ink and road paint is as follows

  1. Application in paint:

    • Increasing whiteness and brightness: The appearance of      paint is crucial for the quality and sales of products. Fluorescent      brightener OB can absorb invisible ultraviolet light and convert it into      blue light for emission. The blue light and the yellow light of the paint      itself are complementary to form white light reflection, thereby      significantly increasing the whiteness and brightness of the paint. White      paint appears more pure and bright, and the colors of colored paint are      more vivid.

    • Improving weather resistance: Paint exposed outdoors      is easily affected by natural factors such as ultraviolet rays, wind and      rain, leading to problems such as color fading and yellowing. Fluorescent      brightener OB can absorb ultraviolet rays, reduce the damage of      ultraviolet rays to paint, thereby improving the weather resistance of      paint and prolonging the service life of paint.

    • Reducing costs: In paint production, adding an appropriate      amount of fluorescent brightener OB can reduce the use of other expensive      pigments and achieve better whitening effects at the same time, thereby      reducing production costs. For example, in white paint, compared with      using titanium dioxide alone, adding fluorescent brightener OB can      increase the whiteness of paint while reducing the amount of titanium      dioxide used.

    • Improving construction performance: Fluorescent brightener      OB has good dispersibility and can be evenly dispersed in paint without      agglomeration or precipitation, thereby ensuring the construction      performance and coating effect of paint.

  2. Application in ink:

    • Enhancing color vividness: Adding fluorescent      brightener OB to ink can enhance the color vividness and contrast of ink,      making the patterns and texts of printed matter clearer and more      beautiful, and improving the visual effect of printed matter.

    • Improving printability: Fluorescent brightener      OB can improve the fluidity and drying property of ink, making ink easier      to transfer and adhere to paper or other printing materials during the      printing process, improving the printing efficiency and quality.

    • Increasing light fastness: Printed matter is      easily faded when exposed to light for a long time. Fluorescent      brightener OB can absorb ultraviolet rays, reduce the damage of      ultraviolet rays to ink, improve the light fastness of printed matter,      and keep the color of printed matter vivid and lasting.

  3. Application in road paint:

    • Improving nighttime visibility: Road paint usually      needs to have good visibility at night to ensure driving safety.      Fluorescent brightener OB can make road paint emit blue fluorescence at      night, enhance the reflective effect of road paint, improve nighttime      visibility, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.

    • Increasing durability: Vehicles on the road      travel frequently, and the durability of road paint is required to be      high. Fluorescent brightener OB can improve the weather resistance and      abrasion resistance of road paint, enabling it to withstand the wear of      vehicles and the erosion of the natural environment, and prolong the      service life of road paint.
