Fluorescent pigments are specialty colorants that emit visible light when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. Unlike conventional pigments, they appear exceptionally bright and glowing under daylight or blacklight, making them ideal for plastics, coatings, inks, and textile applications.
A: They absorb UV light and re-emit it as visible light, making the colors appear much brighter than conventional pigments.
A: Their lightfastness is lower than inorganic pigments, but can be improved with UV stabilizers and proper formulation.
A: For short-term exposure, yes. For long-term outdoor applications, protective coatings are recommended.
