How does Fluorescent Paint Work？| Wanlong

First of all, we need to understand that the light visible to our naked eyes is a light wave with a wavelength within a certain range. Light waves are energy. So to have light, we must first have energy. The sunlight we can see at ordinary times is the energy radiated by the sun, and the electric light is the light energy converted from electrical energy. So where does the energy of fluorescent paint come from? This is a form of chemical energy converted into light energy.

There are also many different types of fluorescent paint:
The fluorescent sticks often used in concerts are mainly composed of three substances: peroxide, ester compounds and fluorescent dyes. After shaking it a few times or shaking it a few times, the peroxide and ester compounds react, and then the energy after the reaction is transferred to the fluorescent dye, and finally, the dye emits fluorescence. This chemical reaction is irreversible and a bit like a disposable battery. It is gone after it is used up.

Fluorescent paint is a kind of handicraft paint. When you hear this name, is it novel?  So what kind of paint is this magical fluorescent paint? Let's take a look at what fluorescent paint is and how to use it for the best effect.

Fluorescent paint is a quick-drying magnetic paint with particularly bright colors. It is a water-based paint diluted with tap water, colored with daylight fluorescent pigments, and is an acrylic resin paint made of acrylic resin, fluorescent materials and solvents. Fluorescent paint can absorb light under light or sunlight and convert it into another light similar to its original color, so it looks very bright and colorful, and the brightness can reach about three times that of ordinary paint.

The paint film of fluorescent paint is flat and smooth and dries naturally. When it is subjected to some form of energy stimulation, it will convert the absorbed energy into visible light other than thermal radiation, thus forming a beautiful fluorescent. But fluorescent paint cannot emit light by itself, it must rely on the light source, so once there is no light source, the fluorescent phenomenon will naturally disappear. In addition, fluorescent paint has good adhesion and mechanical and physical properties.

1. Fluorescent paint has rich and varied colors. Commonly used colors include bright red, blue, green, orange, orange-red, golden yellow, white, black, lemon yellow, etc., and the color purity is extremely high. It is often used in advertising signs, safety signs, traffic guardrails, underground parking lots, dance hall decoration, architectural decoration, fishing gear and other fields that require bright colors. It plays an irreplaceable role.
2. Fluorescent paint is generally an oil-based paint diluted with a special thinner. it must be applied evenly to ensure a consistent thickness of the fluorescent coating. Generally, a dry film thickness of about 0.1 mm is sufficient to achieve resistance to sunlight. After the fluorescent paint is dry, cover it with a layer of aliphatic polyurethane or fluorocarbon protective varnish to make the dry film thickness reach 0.25 mm, increasing the sun resistance performance by more than one-third.
3. It is best to apply a layer of pure white base before the fluorescent paint is applied so that the effect is best; two different colors of fluorescent paint should not be mixed to avoid reducing the fluorescent effect; to ensure the quality of the fluorescent paint, it is best to use the matching fluorescent paint special curing agent and thinner; when used outdoors, the surface of the fluorescent paint is covered with PU varnish for protection, and it can be directly sprayed indoors without the use of curing agent, which is more effective.

Use of yellow-green fluorescent powder:
When riding at night, do you see someone in front of you wearing a glowing reflective vest and a bright traffic cone on the roadside? They are coated with yellow-green fluorescent powder, which can be seen for the first time even in low light conditions, protecting every cyclist and pedestrian.
