Introduction to Fluorescent Pigments
Fluorescent pigments is the type of pigment that demonstrate specific color when light of a particular wavelength is discharged on it. These pigments are able to absorb visible and non-visible electromagnetic radiations. Cadmium sulfide and zinc sulfide are the types of fluorescent pigments. They offer wide range of pigments and chroma which shine when they are exposed to UV frequencies. They have numerous properties that make them suitable for reporting and labeling of various processes and structures.
Some of the pigments are able to withstand or adjust to bad weather conditions, resistance against heat and chemicals and high temperature. These attributes of fluorescent pigments make them preferable for different applications. Moreover, they are adopted in automotive industry for engineering plastics.
