What is fluorescent pigment?
There is a significant difference between fluorescent pigment and ordinary pigment: it can not only reflect light, but also convert part of the absorbed light, especially ultraviolet light, into longer wavelength, visible light. This light is called "fluorescence" and is usually very close to the original color tonality. Because of the addition of fluorescence, the colors presented by fluorescent pigments appear particularly bright and vivid, and the visual effect is more outstanding.Compared with conventional pigments, fluorescent pigments have about twice the brightness, so they have a great visual impact in printing design. However, this pigment also has shortcomings. The main problem is that it is not light-resistant and is easy to fade when exposed to sunlight for a long time.
In order to solve the problem, in practical applications, people often use fluorescent pigments with organic or inorganic pigments with similar hues. In this way, even if the fluorescent part weakens over time and the brightness of the overall color decreases, the color tone of the pattern can remain relatively stable and will not change significantly.
Application of fluorescent pigments in textile printing:
In the textile printing process, the role of fluorescent pigments cannot be underestimated.1. A good partner for thermal transfer and screen printing
Fluorescent pigments are often used in many printing technologies, such as thermal transfer and screen printing. Whether it is cotton, polyester, or blended materials, as long as the process is proper, all of them can be made bright.
In screen printing, fluorescent pigments are usually mixed with water-based or solvent-based inks and are firmly attached to the surface of the fabric after high-temperature curing. In thermal transfer, the pigment is first printed on the transfer paper, and then the pattern is transferred to the fabric through high temperature. Not only is the color bright, but the pattern edge is clear.
2. Applicable to a variety of textile products
Fluorescent printing can not only be used for daily clothing such as T-shirts and sweatshirts, also widely used in sportswear, stage clothes, outdoor equipment, children's clothing, bags, and even home accessories (such as cushions, curtains, etc.). The products have become more fashionable and interesting due to the addition of fluorescent pigments, and are deeply loved by young people.
In world-renowned fashion weeks such as Paris, Milan, and New York, fluorescent printing is often used by designers to express their personality. At fashion weeks, designers use fluorescent green and fluorescent orange patterns and accurately print these colors on black cotton cloth through screen printing. Under the irradiation of UV lamps, the clothes on the models seem to "glow", bringing a strong sense of future technology. Especially in dimly lit shows, this printing method makes the works particularly attractive.
In addition, fluorescent printing also has important uses in sportswear. For example, many night runners wear sportswear with fluorescent prints. This color can improve visibility and safety in low-light environments.
In addition, fluorescent pigments are rarely used in textiles because of their high price, poor light fastness, low affinity to fibers, and great difficulty in dyeing and finishing processes.
Preparation methods include paint printing, original solution coloring, and microcapsule (ink printing).
