Sarawhite (Conc).is a high affinity optical brightener for cellulosic fibres and their blends. It can also be applied for wool, silk and nylon. Due to it's high affinity, Sarawhite (Conc).is recommended by exhaust application only. Sarawhite (Conc).is stable to peroxide as well as reductive bleach liquors hence, combined bleaching and optical brightening can be carried out.

Instructions For Dilution
Procedure to prepare 10% diluted product of 100% Sarawhite (Conc).
Preservation: It is recommended to add 0.1% Bronopol (2-Bromo, 2-nitropropane, 1,3-diol) or Methyl Paraben (methyl para hydroxy benzoate) as an antimicrobial agent to avoid fungal / microbial growth.
pH of diluted solution should be between 9-10 and if not, adjust with caustic.
Un-dissolved particles if any can be filtered off.
It is advisable to utilize the diluted product within seven days.
Stir well before use.
Precautions
Storage : Store in cool, ventilated shed away from heat and direct sunlight. Storage temperature should not exceed 35 deg C. Close lids firmly to avoid contact with air and moisture.
