CBS-X (Calcofluor Brightener or Optical Brightener CBS-X) is a synthetic fluorescent whitening agent widely used in industries to enhance the whiteness or brightness of products. It absorbs ultraviolet light and emits visible blue light, compensating for the natural yellowish tint in materials, giving them a brighter and whiter appearance.

Applications:

• Detergents: Used extensively in laundry detergents and powders to enhance the whiteness of fabrics.
• Textile Industry: Applied in the finishing process to brighten fabrics and reduce yellowing.
• Paper Industry: Used in paper coating formulations to improve brightness.
• Plastics: Added to polymers to improve optical properties.
