"Color is not just a design; it is a 'function' that conveys information." Conventional fluorescent dyes have limitations for industrial use because they carbonize during high-temperature molding and quickly fade outdoors. The product "Lumicolor Red" is a next-generation functional masterbatch that withstands molding in the engineering plastic range (up to 300°C) and maintains functionality for a long time even under intense ultraviolet light. 【Examples of Problem Solving】 ■ Prevention of Major Accidents: We want to prevent breakage accidents caused by "invisible deterioration." ⇒ This product is blended into the material, so the moment wear limits or cracks occur, a vivid fluorescent color is exposed, physically indicating the need for replacement. ■ Imitation and PL Litigation Risks: We want to prove that it is an authentic product in the event of a product accident. ⇒ With heat resistance up to 300°C, it can be blended into critical safety components like polycarbonate (PC). Even in the event of a fire or breakage, shining UV light on the remaining resin will reveal the "proof of authenticity (ID)." Please try our "glowing sample" first. We will brainstorm specific ideas for problem-solving together. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*

Fluorescent dyes and fluorescent pigments are coloring materials that achieve brighter and more vivid colors than conventional colorants by absorbing ultraviolet (UV) light and emitting visible light. 【Selection Points】 When transparency is needed: Fluorescent dyes (high permeability to liquids and fibers) When weather resistance is required: Fluorescent pigments (excellent for outdoor use and long-term durability) For coloring solids such as plastic molding: Fluorescent pigments (suitable for high-temperature processing and good dispersibility) ■ Applications in textiles and clothing Fluorescent dyes are suitable. They have good permeability to fabrics, providing vivid colors and flexibility. However, care must be taken to avoid fading from washing and sunlight. ■ Applications in plastic molded products Fluorescent pigments are suitable. They can withstand high temperatures during injection molding and blow molding, allowing for uniform fluorescent color throughout the molded product. ■ Applications in printing inks Different types are used depending on the application. ■ Offset printing: Fluorescent pigment-based Screen printing: Both fluorescent pigments and dyes, solvent-based inks: Fluorescent dyes, safety signs and warning displays → Fluorescent pigments are mainstream. Due to the demand for durability and high visibility in outdoor use, fluorescent pigments with excellent light resistance are chosen. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us directly.
