- Lightfastness
The higher the pigment concentration, the better the lightfastness. Plasticizers, stabilizers, and other additives can influence the lightfastness of fluorescent pigment. The following table gives the recommended percentage of pigment for optimum color and light stability with respect to film thickness:

- HIGHLIGHTS
DayGlo® A-series and AX-series pigments are thermoplastic, fluorescent pigments which are recommended for a wide range of applications where resistance to strong solvents is not needed. They perform well in a system based on aliphatic and some aromatic hydrocarbons. They are also usable in water systems where prolonged shelf life is not required. The Aseries and AX-series pigments are used in such applications as paper coatings, vinyl coated fabric, A-type gravure inks, paints, screen inks, vinyl plastisols and organisols and plastics with melt temperatures less than 380ºF (193ºC). A-series pigments provide the brightest fluorescent color available. AX-series pigments are much stronger than the A-series pigments and usually represent a better money value.
