Green whitening of polyester fabric using fluorescent brightener OB-1 in a mixture of water and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane media

Fluorescent brightening agent OB-1 (OB-1) is often used in plastic goods because of its non-toxic nature, chemical stability, remarkable heat resistance, and light stability. Raw OB-1 is challenging to use in textiles using the exhaustion method. This study used a novel method using raw OB-1 powder to whiten polyester fabric in water and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5).… Continue reading Green whitening of polyester fabric using fluorescent brightener OB-1 in a mixture of water and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane media

Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane-based sustainable and recyclable polyester fabric whitening using OB-1 fluorescent brightener

Fluorescent whitening agent OB-1 (OB-1) has non-toxicity, chemical stability, exceptional heat resistance, and light stability, and it is widely used in plastic products. However, raw OB-1 is difficult to apply in textiles by exhaustion process. The present investigation employed raw OB-1 without adding an auxiliary to bestow a whitening effect on polyester fabric in a… Continue reading Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane-based sustainable and recyclable polyester fabric whitening using OB-1 fluorescent brightener
