Optical brightening agents
SMART WHITE
Can we create super bright and white paper with less chemistry?
WHAT WE LOVE:
- High-quality white paper…
- …for prints with contrast and bold colors
BUT DID YOU KNOW?
- Creating whiteness requires high amounts of tints as well as optical brighteners …
- …which tends to come at the expense of brightness
