Do you know fluorescent paint？

1. Fluorescent paint is a slurry composed of fluorescent pigments, dispersants and wetting agents. It is insoluble in water and has no affinity for fibers. It cannot be dyed according to the dyeing conditions of conventional dyes.

2. If the particles of fluorescent pigments are large, the coloring rate is low, the color light is dim, the fastness is poor, and the color light is not easy to be accurate; the particles are small, the coloring rate is high, and the fastness is good, but the vividness is affected.

3. The fluorescent coating is attached to the surface of the fiber by padding, and then the resin component of the binder helps the coating to be fixed on the surface of the fiber to achieve a certain color fastness. Due to the influence of the resin contained in the adhesive, the hand of the fabric will become stiff.

fluorescent fabric

Fluorescent fabrics refer to fabrics with strong reflective effects after ordinary fabrics are dyed or coated with fluorescent dyes.

The use of fluorescent fabrics can make extremely distant targets or targets in the dark strongly reflect light, thus playing a good warning and safety precautionary role

The fluorescent fabrics are mainly chemical fibers, and the fibers are dyed with disperse fluorescent dyes, which have good color fastness to washing and bright color.

Cotton, linen, silk and wool fabrics basically use fluorescent paint to bond the paint to the fibers through adhesives to achieve the purpose of dyeing. The color of the fabric is different due to the influence of surface mechanism, paint concentration, dye uptake rate and pH value, etc., and even no fluorescence emission effect occurs. Resulting in fluorescent colors have no effect.

Problems and misunderstandings in the use of fluorescent fabrics

Color Cons:

1. Fluorescent fabrics have poor light color fastness.

2. The rubbing fastness of the fluorescent paint is poor, and the color fades greatly when washed with water.

3. The fluorescent color of cotton, linen, wool and silk fabrics has problems such as difficult color accuracy, dull color and low fluorescent reflectivity.
