General Description

Fluorescent Brightener 101, also known as CI 40647, is a chemical used in the production of various products such as detergents, plastics, and textiles to make them appear brighter and whiter. It belongs to the stilbene class of chemicals and works by absorbing ultraviolet light and re-emitting it as visible blue light, thus making the treated materials appear whiter and brighter. Despite its widely used applications, there are concerns about its environmental impact, as it has been found to be persistent in the environment and potentially toxic to aquatic organisms. Therefore, it is important to handle and dispose of products containing Fluorescent Brightener 101 carefully to minimize its impact on the environment.
