The Role of Fluorescent Emulsions in Paint and Coating Formulations | Wanlong

Fluorescent emulsion is a liquid containing special luminescent substances, which can usually emit bright light under ultraviolet or specific light. This luminous effect makes it used in paints, coatings and printing to enhance the brightness and attractiveness of colors, such as printed advertisements, product packaging and wall decoration.

Unlike fluorescent powder, fluorescent emulsion is in liquid form and is easier to mix with paint than solid fluorescent powder. Because it is a liquid, it can be quickly and evenly mixed with paint or coating, so that the coating can glow smoothly under light without uneven particles or unnatural effects. Fluorescent powder is a solid particle that cannot be directly dissolved in paint and requires special treatment to be evenly distributed when used.

Basic ingredients of fluorescent emulsion:

  1. Fluorescent dye: the key ingredient of fluorescent emulsion. When ultraviolet light shines on the emulsion containing a fluorescent dye, the fluorescent dye absorbs ultraviolet energy and emits light, which is the "fluorescence" we see. This property is widely used in various fields, including cosmetics, industrial markings, etc. Fluorescent dyes usually have different colors, such as green, red, blue, etc.
  2. Emulsifier: helps mix incompatible ingredients such as water and oil to form a uniform and stable emulsion.
  3. Solvent: The main function of the solvent is to help fluorescent dyes, emulsifiers, etc. to be evenly distributed and dissolved. The most common solvent is water.
  4. Stabilizer: The stabilizer is responsible for maintaining the stability of the emulsion after the emulsion is formed to prevent stratification, precipitation, etc.

 

 

Application of fluorescent emulsion in coatings and paints

  1. Bars, nightclubs, KTVs, and stages use fluorescent paint to paint the walls to create a vibrant space; music festivals, concerts, and other activities often use fluorescent elements to create dazzling stages; Internet celebrity check-in spots, e-sports halls, and street-style graffiti spaces use fluorescent spray-painted walls; these designs are very suitable for young people who pursue trends and personalized expressions.
  2. Many cities' highways use fluorescent yellow or fluorescent white markings to ensure driving safety. Emergency passages in hospitals, shopping malls, subways, and other places can use fluorescent paint to mark exits and guide directions to ensure that people can clearly identify and evacuate safely. Lane demarcation lines, pedestrian crosswalks, or turning signs, using fluorescent paint can increase road visibility in rainy or foggy weather, thereby improving safety.
  3. Children's room furniture (tables, chairs, cabinets, etc.) will use green, blue, or pink fluorescent coatings to make children's rooms more childlike. Car exteriors such as body, wheels, and lights use fluorescent paint to make the car look cooler, especially at night or in tunnels, which can be very conspicuous.
  4. Fluorescent emulsions can be used to produce highlighter pens, which are often used for marking and leaving bright traces on paper, making them particularly suitable for emphasizing important content. Many brands have launched their series of highlighter pens, using vibrant colors like fluorescent green, fluorescent yellow, and fluorescent pink to highlight key points or notes.
