Products classified under HTS 3204.20.80.00
Tinopal CBS-X Fluorescent Brightener
Tinopal CBS-X is a synthetic organic fluorescent brightening agent used in laundry detergents and textile processing to enhance whiteness by absorbing UV light and emitting blue fluorescence. It falls under HTS 3204.20.80.00 as a synthetic organic product specifically used as a fluorescent brightening agent, not chemically defined as a simple dye. This subheading covers 'other' such agents beyond basic categories.
Optiblanc Optical Brightener OB-1
Optiblanc OB-1 is a stilbene-based synthetic fluorescent brightening agent applied in plastic compounding and polyester fiber production to impart a bright white appearance. Classified under HTS 3204.20.80.00 for other synthetic organic fluorescent brightening agents used across industries like plastics and synthetics. It converts UV to visible blue light for optical enhancement.
Blankophor P Fluorescent Whitening Agent
Blankophor P is a synthetic organic fluorescent brightener designed for cellulosic fibers and paper coating to achieve high whiteness levels in printing and packaging. It qualifies for HTS 3204.20.80.00 as an 'other' fluorescent brightening agent based on synthetic organics per Chapter Note 3. The agent fluoresces under UV for enhanced brightness without altering base color.
Uvitex OB Fluorescent Brightener
Uvitex OB is a benzoxazole derivative synthetic fluorescent brightening agent widely used in PVC plastics, coatings, and synthetic fibers for UV protection and whitening. It is covered by HTS 3204.20.80.00 for other synthetic organic fluorescent agents functioning via fluorescence emission. Essential for high-end polymer applications requiring optical purity.
Leucophor BCF Optical Brightener
Leucophor BCF is a stilbene-type synthetic fluorescent brightener optimized for cotton and wool textiles in dyeing mills. HTS 3204.20.80.00 applies to this other synthetic organic product used as a fluorescent brightening agent per chapter definitions. It provides superior fastness to light and washing in fabric finishing.
Calcofluor White P Fluorescent Agent
Calcofluor White P serves as a synthetic organic fluorescent brightener for microbial staining in labs and cotton pre-treatment in textiles. Under HTS 3204.20.80.00 as other fluorescent brightening agents, it binds to cellulose emitting blue fluorescence. Dual use in biotech and textile whitening.
Hostalux KCB Fluorescent Brightener
Hostalux KCB is a synthetic coumarin-based fluorescent agent for polystyrene and acrylic plastics in packaging and signage. HTS 3204.20.80.00 covers this other category for polymer brightening via UV fluorescence. High thermal stability for extrusion processing.
Erioglaucine Fluorescent Whitener
Erioglaucine acts as a synthetic organic brightener for nylon carpets and synthetic leather. Classed in 3204.20.80.00 for other fluorescent agents enhancing fabric brightness. Acidic nature suits polyamide fibers.
