Yellowing of PA and PA/EL – reasons and countermeasures


RUCOLAN

Polyamide and polyamide/elastane are very popular. Difficulties arise when, due to yellowing, articles lose their brilliant white or shades cannot be achieved. In this article different types of yellowing, such as thermal yellowing, the yellowing of optical brighteners, storage yellowing as well as the possibilities of avoiding them will be discussed.
