APPLICATIONS

Optical Brighteners Across Paper Applications

Different paper grades need different levels of affinity, solubility and brightness. Choose the application below to understand where each OBA grade fits into the paper making process.

Tissue Paper

Brightness Without Constant Recipe Changes

Short tissue runs leave little room for brightness variation. Our consistent brightener grades help keep dosage steady recipes stable and every reel closer to the required brightness target.

Writing & Printing Paper

Brightening at More Than One Stage

Writing and printing mills often brighten in the stock and again at the size press. We supply grades for both along with highly soluble options for surface applications and coating systems.

Coated Paper & Paperboard

High Brightness for Surface Applications

Coating formulations need good solubility controlled shade and reliable fluorescence. Our higher sulphonated grades are suited for surface applications where compatibility and brightness development matter.

Why Choose DIA

Brightness You Can Control From Wet End to Coating

Paper brightness is affected by furnish chemistry dosage point retention and the brightener itself. DIA supplies grades for different stages of paper production so mills can select the right balance of fibre affinity solubility and whitening performance.

Grades for Every Dosing Point

Disulpho, tetrasulpho and hexasulpho optical brighteners for wet end, size press and coating applications.

Support for Different Furnishes

Grade selection support for virgin pulp recycled fibre mixed furnish and processes where residual brightener can affect the final dosage.

Consistent Strength

Controlled strength from lot to lot helps keep dosage stable and reduces unnecessary corrections during production.

Documentation & Compliance Support

TDS MSDS product specifications and relevant commercial documents are available for domestic and export requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Q1. Which optical brightener is best for the paper industry?

The right OBA depends on where it is added and how much fibre affinity or solubility the process requires. Disulpho grades are commonly considered where higher affinity is needed while tetra and hexasulpho grades provide progressively higher solubility for size press and surface applications.

Q2. What is the difference between disulpho tetrasulpho and hexasulpho OBA?

The main difference is the degree of sulphonation which affects solubility and affinity for cellulose. Lower sulphonated grades generally have stronger fibre affinity while higher sulphonated grades offer greater solubility and are useful in surface applications.

Q3. Where is optical brightener added during paper manufacturing?

OBA can be added at the wet end through the size press or in coating formulations. The best dosing point depends on the paper grade furnish process conditions and required brightness.

Q4. How much optical brightener should be used in paper?

Dosage depends on furnish initial brightness, recycled fibre content application point and target whiteness. A controlled dose trial on the actual stock is the most reliable way to determine the economical working level.

Q5. Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?

Yes. Share your paper grade furnish dosing point current brightener and target brightness. We can recommend a suitable grade and provide a sample for laboratory or mill evaluation.
