The different methods of mass brightening synthetic‐polymer fibres are briefly surveyed. The physical and chemical characteristics of fluorescent brighteners (FBA) for polyester and nylon fibres, both for incorporation in the mass and for conventional application during the processing of textiles, are discussed. Various methods of application for selected FBA are compared with respect to the whitening effects and fastness properties obtained.
