Although the mechanism of the fluorescent whitening agent to harm the human body is not conclusive in the current academic circle. But most experts agree to restrict the use of fluorescent brighteners, especially the exposure of fluorescent brighteners to food, as toxic substances may precipitate in the form of decomposition and volatilization and harm the human body.
why use fluorescent whitening agent
reporter to understand that fluorescent whitening agent is an organic compound that improves the whiteness of fiber fabric and paper. Because paper and fabric are often yellow with color impurities, chemical bleaching has been used in the past. For decolorization, more whitening agents are used in WIP. Its function is to transform the invisible ultraviolet radiation of the products into purple blue fluorescent radiation, and to complement the original yellow radiation to make up the white light, and improve the whiteness of the product under the sun.
