Bright Neon, Fluorescent Pigments for Oil & Solvent Based Systems
Neon Pigments or powders are also called Fluorescent Pigments as they glow under ultraviolet (UV) light.
Apart from being bright neon colours in normal light, these coloured powders also glow vividly under UV light.
Relatively lightfast compared to many neon pigments but the colour of all neon pigments will fade in exterior applications and on long-term exposure to UV light. These paints are sold for interior applications.

Applications
Thermoset type pigments that can be used where high solvent resistance is required.
Insoluble in a large number of solvents making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
Typical applications include the following:
- Coatings, paints and inks where strong solvents and heat are used. Used with polar solvents in the following applications:
- Aerosol paints
- Flexo and gravure printing inks
- Solvent based silk screen inks
- UV curing inks
- PVC including PVC soft toys, PVC sheets and PVC leather.
- Vinyl Plastics.
- Vinyl Plastisols for textiles
- Textile printing and dyeing.
- Thermoplastic polymer colouring (less than 180oC).
- Due to their cost effectiveness they are used in dust test applications.
Not recommended for mixing into water-based systems or resins. We offer a different neon pigment type for resins and water-based applications.
Limitations
- While being relatively colour stable (lightfast), like all Fluorescent Pigments, these will fade in exterior applications and on long-term exposure to UV light.
- Mixtures of solvents may have a severe impact on these pigments that is far greater than the impact of individual solvents alone. Some solvent combinations can solvate these pigments causing swelling and bleeding. These pigments must be tested for performance in combination solvent systems.
- Avoid creating excess dust when using the powders. As with all organic polymers, dust generated by these powders can be flammable at certain concentrations in air so don't work near a source of heat or sparks. Use a fabric dust mask when handling.
- These neon pigments are not approved for skin application or for use in skin applications products.

Different neon pigments for different applications
We have different neon pigments for use in resin which also work in water-based systems.
For skin application, please see our "Cosmetic Bright neon Pigments".
Keep out of reach of children
Avoid breathing dust (use a fabric dust mask if necessary).
All our products should be kept out of reach of children under 5 years and anybody who may tend to place items or liquids in their mouths should be supervised. Even packing can become a choking hazard.
