Description:
Fluorescent reflective pigment is a powdered dye in bright "acid" colors.
It has the property of glowing when exposed to ultraviolet rays, has a very bright color in normal lighting due to the fact that it partially reflects the light falling on it.
Due to their spectacular appearance and ease of use, fluorescent pigments are very widely used. They are used in design, advertising, road markings, car and motorcycle styling, etc., in general, wherever you need to attract attention. Also, a fluorescent pigment is used to change the color of the afterglow of the phosphor.

Mode of application
To prepare a fluorescent paint, you need to mix the fluorescent powder with a clear varnish matched to the surface. Pigment should be poured 10-15% by weight. As a carrier, you can use varnish and other substances with a transparent, viscous medium, for example, glue, silicone, wax, liquid glass, etc. The fluorescent pigment does not dissolve in the carrier, but is weighed. When working with fluorescent paint, it should be thoroughly mixed until a homogeneous mass is obtained before and during application. This is necessary to get an even color and glow.
Storage conditions and precautions
Store in a dark, dry place.
Additionally
The substrate (base) can be made any, but light, and especially white is best suited, as it reflects and additionally "directs" the light of the luminescent and fluorescent glow to the viewer. And black, as you know, absorbs light. Therefore, on a white background, the brightness will be 30-50% higher than on a black one, and therefore, on a light background, the brightness of the glow will be higher compared to a dark background. Characteristics: Specific gravity 1.36. The particle size is 3-4 microns. Melting point 130-140 ºС. Decomposition temperature 190 ºС. Oil absorption 50 g/100 g.
The orange table tennis ball is clearly visible even in the dusk. And all because a special pigment, a phosphor, has been added to the composition of the plastic. It is a powder that accumulates light during the day and glows at night. The fluorescent pigment is somewhat similar to it in its properties. It also glows in the dark, however, under certain conditions: if UV rays fall on it.
Types of fluorescent powder
Such pigments are of two types: visible and invisible. What does it mean? In the first case, the powder, both in daylight and in ultraviolet light, has a bright saturated shade of different colors.
A powder with an invisible structure is not completely "invisible". In daylight, its granules are white, and in ultraviolet light, a bright color tint. True, in a less wide color spectrum than visible pigments.
Visible powder properties:
- Brilliant color glow under UV rays
- Safe in contact with human skin
- Powder-based paint is much more visible in daylight conditions, in the shade compared to conventional paint
- Glows intensely when exposed to UV light
- invisible pigments:
- Invisible in the daytime
- Safe in contact with human skin
- Glow intensely under ultraviolet light
