PAINTS & COATINGS
Shine bright with DayGlo.
Introduction
DayGlo stands as the foremost producer of daylight fluorescent pigments, ink bases, paints, and plastic colorants globally.
Our diverse portfolio includes fluorescent pigment and dispersions and extends to non-fluorescent conventional pigment dispersions, fluorescent and non-fluorescent dyes, tracers, specialty resins, and phosphorescent pigments.
In the realm of coatings and paint, our fluorescent pigments possess remarkable properties. Not only do they absorb and reflect visible light, but they also harness energy from the ultraviolet spectrum, subsequently re-emitting it within the visible region. This unique capability yields exceptional radiance and luminosity, outshining conventional colors by up to threefold, thereby enhancing product visibility and appeal.
Tailored for coatings formulations in both solvent and aqueous mediums, DayGlo fluorescent pigments and dispersions offer a host of features optimized for diverse applications within the coatings industry. Their utility spans across various sectors, from emergency service vehicles to vibrant advertising signs and clay pigeon targets.
When selecting fluorescent pigments for your coating needs, considerations such as color and opacity are paramount.
Fluorescent pigments, being translucent, achieve their best effects when applied over a white background.
Regarding light fastness, achieving optimal durability in exterior applications hinges on factors such as formulation, film deposits, wall thickness, and additives. While daylight fluorescent pigments exhibit stability under indoor or moderate outdoor conditions, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can induce changes. The degree of light stability depends on various factors, including the type of vehicle/ binder system, polymer, pigment concentration, and intended use.
To enhance light fastness, strategies such as incorporating ultraviolet absorbers in pigmented formulations and applying clear overcoats containing such absorbers can be employed. Additionally, integrating light fast, nonfluorescent colors akin to the fluorescent hue can mitigate fading effects, albeit at the expense of fluorescent brightness.
