Consumer Product companies link the sensorial appeal of their products
to their brand image.
In many cases, not only ingredients like colorants and fragrances, but also
fats and oils, are not stable and compromises have to be made between
product performance, esthetics and stability. Highly effective stabilizer
systems enable formulators to create stable and innovative products with
superior shelf appearance.

Optical Effect Products & Stabilizers
Optical Effect Products consist of two major sub-groups:
Whiteness in fabric laundry and Stabilizers for ingredient protection
Whiteness in Fabric Laundry
Detergent whiteness pyramid
PCS
Optical
Brighteners
Bleaches / enzymes
Anti Re-Deposition, Dye Transfer
Inhibition and Dye Fixation polymers
Surfactants & builders
Tinolux
Tinopal
Tinocat
Shading
Brightness
Base white
Whiteness in fabric laundry is built up successively by three processes
which can be represented by a whiteness pyramid: Base White, Brightness
and Shading.
BASF Optical Effect Products contribute to all three foundations and
allow for balanced detergent formulations which provide cleaning, add
brightness and produce shading effects.
Clean, stain-free, base whitenened fabric is a prerequisite for efficient
whitening. Tinopal
optical brighteners absorb UV and emit blue light to
compensate the inherent yellow cast of textile substrates and produce
brilliant neutral whites. The blue tinted Tinolux
range of photo-catalytic
systems (PCS) add photo-bleaching and shading effects to further enhance
this brilliant, blue white perception.

Explanation of the diagram
Case a
Base whitened fabric inherently absorbs visible light at the blue end of the
spectrum leading to a dull yellowish white. Tinolux
and Tinopal
products
compensate this dulling and yellowing by two different modes of action.
Case b
Tinopal
products absorb UV radiation and emit blue visible light
quantitatively adding to brightness and whiteness intensity.
Case c
Tinolux
photocatalysts absorb long wavelength light particularly yellow/
red from the visible spectrum. As the reflected light is slightly blued the yellow
cast of the fabric is consequently minimized. The combination of these two
different effects, the emitted blue light generated by Tinopal
and the bluish
cast delivered by Tinolux, improves the final whiteness perception and makes
laundered fabrics appear noticeably whiter and brighter.

Tinocat
Tinocat
is a unique, highly efficient and gently acting metal catalyst
specifically designed to improve bleaching performance at cold wash
temperatures and prevent the loss of base white. The readily soluble blue
granule is recommended for use in bleaching additives, stain removers and
laundry detergents. It is a strong stain remover which acts gently on dyes
and fibres.
Tinopal
Tinopal
optical brighteners give bright neutral white shade to cellulosic and
synthetic fabrics even after repeated washes at low to high washing temperatures.
The Tinopal
CBS range is light fast, bleach stable, and far more soluble than
conventional stilbene brighteners leading to exceptional performance at
low temperatures. Technically superior and versatile, Tinopal
comes as free
flowing granules, stable low viscosity aqeous dispersion, or as a clear solution
to meet all formulation needs.
Tinolux
Tinolux
is a photocatalytic system designed to produce high cleaning and
bleaching performance. Excellent photo-bleaching and efficient photo-shading
is achieved at low washing temperatures and concentrations. Superior tinting
effects are obtained without causing over hue after successive laundering
cycles.
