The ultimate choice of a whitener or whitener system for a specific formulation often represents a compromise between the optimum technical performance desired and economic considerations. This overview provides an introduction to fluorescent whitening agents to those new to the field of laundry product formulations and, perhaps, serves as a refresher course for the more experienced formulator. In actual practice, the selection of an optimum whitener system is based on extensive laboratory trials and evaluations.
