Liquid Optical Brightener for Polyester Fabrics

SALPHOR-HT
SALPHOR-HT White R Liquid (Fluorescent brightening agent)
SALPHOR-HT White R Liquid is fluorescence brightening agent for polyester fibers. It gives
brilliant whitening effect which has good fastness to sublimation, light and wet processing. It can
be applied by high temperature exhaust or pad-thermo- sol method and suitable for whitening
effect on texturised polyester and polyester / cotton. It is available as nonionic fluid dispersion
greenish yellow in color. The dispersion is miscible with water and can be diluted to any desired
concentration by adding water to it. It is recommended to adjust the ph of the bath between 4.5-5.5
as whitening effect may be reduce in extremely acidic or alkaline condition.
Method of application
Preparation of dispersion
the required amount of SALPHOR-HT -White R Liquid is weighed out and stirred with 20 times
of its weight of soft water at room temperature. The required volumes are made up adding more
soft water.
High-temperature method
The bath is prepared with 0.1-0.35 % SALPHOR-HT White R Liquid 1.0 g/l suitable dispersing
agent pH 4.5-5.5 with acetic acid Material to liquor ratio 1:10
The material is entered at about 50C and the temperature is slowly raised to 130C within 45-60
minutes. The treatment is continued at this temperature for about 30-45 minutes. The material is
then washed in cold water and soaped at 60-70C for 10-15 minutes in 2 g/l. Neutral detergent.
Pad-Thermosol method
Padding
The fabric is padded through a pad-liquor containing 1-5 g/l SALPHOR-HT -White R Liquid at
room temperature keeping 60-80% expression. The padded fabric is dried at approximately 120140C fixations. The fixation condition depends on fabric construction. Heavy or densely woven
fabric requires higher fixation temperature or longer fixation time than lighter fabric with open
weave.

However, following fixation condition may be taken as general recommendation:

For normal polyester & polyester / cotton: 180-185C for 10-15 seconds.
For texturised polyester: 170-180C
The thermo fixed material may be given rinsing and light soaping treatment with 2g/l neutral
detergent at 60-70C. For 10-15 minutes.
Note: The recommendation is based on laboratory experiments and to be considered as guide lines only.
For bulk production, it is necessary to carry out small scale trails to conform the local conditions.
