Fluorescent Paint VS Luminous Paint

What is fluorescent paint?

Fluorescent paint is a kind of paint that can emit light immediately under ultraviolet (UV) or strong visible light. Its luminescence process belongs to the phenomenon of photoluminescence. Fluorescent paint contains special fluorescent pigments. These pigments release visible light immediately after absorbing light energy, showing colors such as red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. To maintain the luminous effect, ultraviolet rays or black lights need to be continuously provided. Once the light source is removed, the fluorescence will disappear immediately.
Characteristics and uses of fluorescent paint:
1. High brightness and rich colors: up to dozens of bright pigments, super suitable for stage, graffiti and party settings, lighting up dark scenes.
2. Dependence on external light sources: UV lamps or strong light are required to emit light, suitable for venues and devices with lighting equipment.

What is luminous paint?

Luminous paint is a phosphorescent material that can first absorb the light energy of the day and store it in the material, slowly releasing it in a dark environment to achieve continuous luminescence. Its main component is adding luminous powder to acrylic resin polymer latex. After this powder is "charged" during the day, it can emit a weak and lasting light at night.
Features and uses of luminous paint:
Long-term luminescence: high-quality luminous paint can continue to glow in the dark for about 6-12 hours after exposure to general visible light for 10-20 minutes.
No need for continuous light source: it can self-luminesce after charging, which is particularly suitable for emergency exit signs, fire escape passages, home starry sky walls, night runway signs and other scenes that need to be visible without electricity or at night.

How to choose the most suitable luminous paint?

1. Want an instant cool effect? ??Choose fluorescent paint, with a black light, to easily create a cool party and graffiti atmosphere.
2. Want to self-luminesce at night? Choose luminous paint, which can be pre-charged so that safety instructions can be seen even in a power outage.
3. Concerned about environmental protection and safety? Prefer water-based acrylic primer, and luminous paint must have non-radioactive certification (such as CE, CQC) to ensure health.

Teenagers can also easily DIY luminous small projects:

Want to do it with friends? It is recommended to buy a set of common luminous paint sets on the market, such as "TBC The Best Crafts Luminous Paint 10 Color Set", which contains non-toxic UV acrylic pigments, suitable for DIY party supplies, graffiti and holiday decorations, so you can start creating at any time.
Simple tips:
Primer white: No matter what kind of luminous paint, first apply a layer of pure white primer on the canvas or wall to make the light more even and brighter.
Layered painting: It is recommended to apply luminous paint 2-3 times, and then apply the next layer after the interval is dry, so that the light can be stored more fully; fluorescent paint can increase or decrease the coating according to needs.
Correct storage: Please keep fluorescent paint away from light, and keep luminous paint in a cool and dry place to extend its service life.
