Orco Synthrowite GWS2 Powder Subder Sub is an optical brightener of the coumarin class used primarily in binders, varnishes and ink formulations with some application in detergents using co-solvents.  The product absorbs at 380 nm UV light to emit a blue-violet fluorescence between 400 nm and 500 nm in the visible spectrum.

The product will compensate for the yellow cast of various binder substrates even when added in small amounts. The finished article is whiter, brighter and brilliant with a market improvement in tone.
