Abstract: The instant invention relates to aqueous dispersions of one or more optical brightening agent (OBA) which do not need dispersants or other stabilizing additives in order to avoid sedimentation during storage. The optical brighteners are sulfonated triazinylaminostilbene compounds which have excellent properties for whitening of paper and other cellulosic substrates.

Abstract: Optical brighteners (PAB) of formula wherein each n independently signifies 1 or 2, the group SO3M shown with the floating bond is linked to the position 4 or 5, each M independently signifies an equivalent of a non-chromophoric cation, each M? independently signifies hydrogen or M, at least a part of the cations M of (PAB) are cationic groups of a polycationic polyol/epichlorohydrin/amine polymer (PA), which contains quaternary ammonium groups in salt form as heteroatomic ring members or chain members, any others being cations selected from alkali metal cations, unsubstituted ammonium and ammonium substituted with C1-3-alkyl or/and C2-3-hydroxyalkyl, the polycationic polymer (PA) is a polymer which is at least in part crosslinked over one or more of its quaternary ammonium groups, any other counterions to the cationic groups of (PA) being non-chromophoric anions of low molecular acids, and the ratio of the total anionic groups in the anionic optical brightener portion of (PAB) to the total of cationi

Abstract: Water soluble, amphoteric optical brighteners (W) comprising at least one brightener-characteristic radical X which contain at least one anionic substituent and covalently linked over at least one tertiary amino group Z to at least one non-chromophoric, essentially aliphatic, polyquaternary ammonium-hydrocarbon radical Y containing more than one quaternary ammonium group and in which each hydrocarbon radical is optionally interrupted by and/or substituted with one or more further heteroatoms, have surprising brightening properties, especially in papermaking, and in the form of their aqueous solutions are of notable stability.

Abstract: Cationically modified white pigments (W) in particulate form, essentially consisting of a particulate inorganic white pigment (M) of a particle size in the range of 0,1 to 40 ?m and an applied water soluble, cationic, crosslinked polymer (PA) containing quaternary ammonium groups in salt form, obtainable by reaction of epichlorohydrin or of epichlorohydrin derivatives or precursors with amines, under conditions leading to at least partial crosslinking, optionally in combination with an anionic optical brightener (B) and where the molar ratio of (B) to (PA) is such that the number of cationic charges of the total polymer (PA) is higher than the number of anionic charges of the total anionic optical brightener (B), are surprisingly useful as cationic white pigments in various fields of technique, especially in papermaking.

Abstract: The invention relates to an optical brightener mixture (W) comprising optical brighteners (A) of formula (Ia), and (B) of formula (Ib) and optionally (C) of formula (Ic) as defined herein, their concentrated aqueous solutions (S), their production and their use.
