- Lightfastness
DAY-GLO Fluorescent Water Dispersions exhibit good lightfastness for interior applications but have limited use in exterior applications. Evaluations should be conducted to determine if the use of DAY-GLO dispersions will meet lightfastness requirements. Various approaches can be taken to improve outdoor performance such as:; increased loading of DAY-GLO Dispersions; heavier film deposit or multiple coats.; additions of UV stabilizers.; clear top coat containing UV stabilizers.
- Ink and Toner Type
- Waterborne Ink
- Color Development
DAY-GLO Fluorescent Water Dispersions are transparent. To optimize the fluorescent effect they should be applied over white. If adding TiO2, the amount should not exceed 2% based on the weight of the fluorescent dispersion. The addition of too much white will reduce the fluorescent effect.
- HIGHLIGHTS
DAY-GLO Fluorescent Water Dispersions were developed for applications in latex and tempera paints, water colors, paper coatings and other aqueous systems. They are anionically stabilized, offer excellent tinctorial strength and eliminate dusting encountered when using dry pigments.. DAY-GLO Fluorescent Water Dispersions contain 50% fluorescent pigment and no binder.
