S.SHOW Photoluminesecent Paint

The paint and its product have practical and commercial value in many areas possessing good effect in both society and economy. Paint and coating industry, traffic indication signs, decoration for building signs for illumination, signs for emergency escaping, luminous safety marks. luminous number plateas, luminous marine signs, night-used military instruments, tunnel indication signs, and so on.

 

 S.SHOW Photoluminescent paint mixing and use instructions  
 


    Detailed directions for manufacture:
  1. Choose transparent, neutral or weak acid organic resins like polyurethane resin, acrylic acid resin, epoxy resin, polyester resin, etc..
  2. For painting purposes, particle size of pigments can be between 10~15um or 20~40 um is recommended.
  3. Mix about 20 to 50% of luminous pigment, measured by weight, to the clear resin. This is just a guideline. You could add more or less according to your requirements
  4. Mixing ration for UV light sensitive powders is only 15 to 25%, measured by weight, to the clear resin.
  5. Grind the photoluminescent pigment by high-speed-dispersion or ball-grinding method in enamel-lined facility, you'd better not grind it in metal facility to avoid polluting the pigment.
  6. Use containers with ceramic or glass interiors and stir the mixture at high speed
  7. To avoid deposits, you should use high viscosity resins or anti-settling agents. Stir well prior to application, process small batches at a time.
  8. Do not use heavy metal components as additives.
  9. Use a white or light color as a background for best results. Any color other than white will diminish glowe.
  10. Use clear varnish on the surface to strengthen the smooth finish and weather-resistance nature
  11. Stronitum based pigments should only be mixed into oil/solvent bases. If your project requires a water based medium, then you need to purchase one of our pigments that are treated for water protection.
  

Usage Instructions for Luminous Paints

  
  1. By brush painting, roll painting or spray-painting.
  2. For good luminous effects, the luminous layer should be at least 100~150um.
  3. A base coat of white or very light color is preferred. Applying luminous paint on dark colors reduces the glow effect by as much as 50%.
  4. Use a layer of varnish over the luminous surface to add a glossy effect to the paint. A layer or two of clear varnish also provides a certain level of surface protection.
  5. Adjust the viscosity to suit your application method and stir well prior to painting

 Notes:
  1. Colorless transparent resins are preferred to be used as base materials.
  2. Don't add opaque pigments, such as TiO2 to the paint; Don't not add too much transparent pigment to the paint;
  3. When the luminous pigments are dispersed, the pollution from iron, sulphur and arsenic should be prevented.
  4. Special luminous pigments are required for application in waterborne resins.
