| General comment | An optical brightening agent (OBA), also known as a fluorescent whitening agent (FWA) or optical brightener, is a chemical compound that enhances the visual appearance of materials by increasing their perceived brightness and whiteness. Used in industries such as textiles, paper, detergents, and plastics, OBAs improve the look of products by absorbing ultraviolet light and re-emitting it as visible blue light, thus compensating for yellowing and making materials look whiter. |
