What Does FBA Stand For?
FBA stands for Fluorescent Brightening Agent
FBA, or Fluorescent Brightening Agent, refers to a chemical additive used in various industries, particularly in textiles and paper products, to enhance the brightness and whiteness of materials. By absorbing ultraviolet light and re-emitting it as visible blue light, FBAs effectively counteract the yellowing of fibers and surfaces, resulting in a more vivid and visually appealing appearance. These agents are commonly employed in detergents, coatings, and optical brighteners to improve the overall aesthetic quality of products.
