DAYLIGHT
FLUORESCENT PIGMENTS are solid solutions of one or more
dyes in a transparent high-molecular weight synthetic resin and
are offered as very brightly coloured free flowing powders.
FLUORESCENCE: conventional pigments
produce colour by selectively reflecting part of the incedent light,
absorbing the remainder which is converted to heat. Fluorescent
pigments, however convert part of this absorbed energy into light
of their own colour; thus re-emitting more light than actually falls
on them causing a glow called fluorescence.
LIGHT FASTNESS of fluorescent
pigments on indoor exposure is usually unlimited, while on outdoor
exposure these tend to fade gradually.
HEAT RESISTANCE varies from
one series to another as also from one application to another and
for most plastics, is usually about 180° Celsius for short periods
as with our FX & TX Series and about 210° Celsius as with our FXT
& SV Series.
SOLVENT RESISTANCE must be checked
for specific solvent/combinations for the recommended grade of pigments
( FXT & SV Series ). Care must be taken that the temperature while
dispersion remains below 50° Celsius.
DISPERSABILITY of these pigments
is exceptionally good and stirring or soft grinding in the suitable
binder/media is enough.
TRANSPARENCY of these pigments
being exceptional, it is recommended to use these on white ground
with minimum blending with other shades/opacifiers.
