Mayzo is helping in manufacturing efficiency with its full line ofoptical brightener (OB) products. OB is a valuable specialty chemical additive which creates the appearance of brilliant whites or brighter colours. Thecompany develops specialty chemical additive solutions to a wide range of marketslike tape, adhesive, polymer, rubber, inks, and lubricants.
OBs absorb UV light, modifying its wavelength and then emitting it in a fluorescent fashion. This effect is important in a variety of applications including plastics, coatings, printing inks, dyes, fibres, detergents, waxes, fats, and oils. In addition, OBs can be used as a tracer, for instance to confirm that uniform coverage of an adhesive or sealant has been achieved, according to a press release by Mayzo.
With a full line of OB products, Mayzo solves the challenges manufacturers may encounter when using OB products. Particle size and purity have a direct impact on dispersion ability. Since manufacturing processes may require only a small quantity of OB, it is critical that it be thoroughly incorporated throughout the material to which it is added. The Mayzo Benetex OB product line dissolves faster, potentially reducing processing time. Mayzo’s most finely ground powder, Benetex OB Plus, can even be used in screen printing applications without risk of clogging equipment, or in coatings requiring a silky-smooth finish. Easy dispersion creates manufacturing efficiency. Efficiency is further improved when companies can buy additives in a package size that is appropriate for their purpose.
Further benefits of the Benetex OB product line includes brilliant, bluish-white effect that compensates for yellowing; good light-fastness and low volatility; highly compatible with a wide range of organic substrates and solvents; and excellent resistance to heat.
“Within our range of particle size options, we offer a fit for every customer’s specific process. In addition, our product has the highest purity in the market. Manufacturers are increasingly buying OB in small quantities to be used as a tracer, as part of their quality control function. Mayzo can provide OBs in quantities as small as 3-pound or 5-pound containers, in addition to larger drums. This packaging customisation provides a big advantage in terms of cost-effectiveness,” Mayzo director of sales, Eduardo Padilla said.
Mayzo provides specialty chemical additive solutions on a global scale in a wide range of markets. Mayzo’s proven materials make manufacturing processes safer and more efficient while reducing costs and creating more sustainable, durable and reliable end-products. Mayzo antioxidants and UV absorbers function as stabilizers to prevent product damage due to heat, light or oxygen exposure. Other technologies include optical brighteners, release coatings, polymer enhancers, and cutting edge masterbatches and blends.
