Leucophor A optical brighteners - the difference is clear

November 29, 2006 - Disulpho, urea-free optical brightening agents (OBAs) have always been a bit of a sticky subject. Now Clariant has developed the new Leucophor A liquid range - completely crystal-clear, urea-free formulations that can be easily transported and stored without the need for constant stirring. They do not settle or cause blockages, so that everything keeps flowing smoothly - it could change the way you look at OBAs forever.

Clariant has spent almost two years perfecting a novel, practical way to suspend pure, urea-free, disulpho OBA in a liquid form. The result is the Leucophor A liquid range - patented pending OBA formulations with low viscosity, that remain stable and can be handled easily, simply and without the need for special dosing equipment.

Clariant's OBAs' specialist expressed true delight with the result of this R&D breakthrough: ‘We listened carefully to various comments from customers all over the world and have been aware of the need to tackle handling, dosing and storing issues with OBAs. This consultation initiated a significant research and development project over the last two years.’

The result is a cleaner, easier way to use OBAs, with none of the complex storage and dosage requirements usually associated with slurry-based OBAs. The Leucophor A range gives you affordable performance across three different formulations to suit your needs precisely.

Leucophor A delivers brightness you can control in a solution that remains stable, clear and 100% deposit-free – even in the face of temperature change. Tried, tested and environmentally sound - you can see the difference straight away with Clariant’s
