What is the luminous paint?

Mar 09, 2023

On some special occasions, such as the square at night and some large concerts, everyone will see some various kinds of fluorescent sticks. The luminous paint can also serve a similar purpose. As the name suggests, luminous paint is a kind of paint that shines at night. Night light paint has been widely used in certain occasions because of its characteristics.

 

Night light paint is a kind of wall art paint, it absorbs the general visible light irradiation for 10 to 20 minutes, can continue to shine in the dark for 12 hours or so, can expand the limited monotonic plane into a strange luminous dreamlike multi-dimensional space. Decoration effect colorful, strewn at random have send, design lifelike, distinct, exquisite, no seam, skin, no cracking, background and complexion can free collocation, characters, landscape, flowers, cartoon, such as the design can be arbitrary choice, also can personality customization, and can be infinite recycling, service life is long, non-toxic harmless, does not contain radioactive elements, is a new generation of environmental protection decorative coating. Mainly applicable to parks, squares, residential buildings, scenic spots and so on.

 

Nightlight paint features

 

1. Made by the principle of light absorption and light storage.

2. Short light storage time, large light receiving area, high luminous intensity, long afterglow time and long service life.

3, paint film tough, strong adhesion, good chemical stability.

4, no radioactive, non-toxic and harmless, safe and environmental protection.

5, can be sprayed or painted, without precipitation, the construction is simple and convenient.

 

 

What is the difference between luminous paint and fluorescent paint?

 

The luminous paint belongs to a paint that can glow at night. The principle of light emitting is simple: the energy that absorbs light during the day is stored, and the light emitting effect is produced by releasing light energy at night. Of course, the most important role is the luminous material.

The biggest characteristic of fluorescent paint is several times brighter than ordinary paint, not light or reflective at night. But in the light source of the irradiation will be very bright, high light, that's all.

 

How do you use luminous paint

 

1 Performance characteristics

 

Composition:

The paint is mainly composed of synthetic resin or emulsion, energy storage luminous material and other substances dispersed.

 

Characteristics:

The paint emits a certain amount of light by its own energy storage material. It absorbs light energy under the light, light and visible light, and in the dark conditions, it emits the absorbed energy with low frequency visible light, and the luminous phenomenon caused by visible light excitation.

 

Use

The paint is mainly used for construction, decoration, advertising, traffic road signs, man-made landscape, can also be used as hotels, shopping malls and special occasions of luminous signs, can also be used for low-grade emergency lighting.

Construction requirements:

1. Before construction, the surface treatment of the coating should be conducted to achieve no oil pollution, no rust and no dust. The construction environment should be clean, and have exhaust and air dust cleaning equipment and other facilities to ensure the construction quality.

2, coating process: can be sprayed or painted.

3, the paint must be fully stirred evenly before use, and can be adjusted with special thinner to the construction viscosity for construction.

4, the substrate is processed, can brush the primer, after the primer is thoroughly dry, brush the finish paint.

 

2 Product use

 

 

Typical application of luminous paint: it can be used to display objects and back materials at night

1. Architectural decoration, interior decoration, lighting, painting, wall.

2. Night item identification marks, power switches, tools or toolbox.

3. Beautify PUB, KTV, stores, large parties and other business places.

4. Traffic signs, fire emergency escape system, military equipment, and garden beautification.

5. Clock, buttons, field instrument or indicator, radio, camera.

6. Foot bicycle, locomotive, car, body pattern and aluminum ring, steel ring.

7. Fishing utensils, aquarium equipment, flags, stickers, and toys.

8. General accessories, super dazzling image painting, ceiling beautification..., etc

 

3 Use method

 

Night lighting paint spraying:

A. It is recommended to use the spraying method (preferably with air spray gun spray).

B. When spraying with air spray gun, diluent can be used directly or added (either BAC or toluene) according to the spray viscosity, and the amount of diluent should be 5 to avoid reducing its covering force.

C. The luminous paint is (oily self-drying paint), which contains polarity machine solvent modulation, and may erode the surface of general water-based paint and elastic paint. For caution, please try in a small area or hidden place before use.

1. Before spraying, the coated surface should be cleaned. If uneven, please repair the coated surface and polish it; after completely drying, the acrylic series white (flat) primer shall be sprayed.

2. In order to make the light storage effect of the luminous paint better, it is recommended to spray the acrylic series white (flat light) primer as the bottom layer before spraying.

3. After the spray primer is completely dry, then spray the luminous paint. When spraying, it should be 15-25 from the covered surface, thin one layer, and about 5-10 minutes to spraying the second spray.

4. The interval time of each spray should be 5-10 minutes, with the minimum base of three spraying, depending on the uniform condition after spraying; the fourth spray or more can be added, with the thickness of the spray film with stronger light storage capacity (i. e., better brightness at night).

5. Nocturt paint (the drying time is about 15-20 minutes). After the completion of spraying, spray transparent paint again to make the surface of luminous paint more durable.

 

Apply brush with:

A. It is recommended to use the brushing method (use special paint brush).

B. No dilution can be used directly or add diluent (either BAC or toluene) according to the coating viscosity requirements, and the amount of diluent should be 5 to avoid reducing its covering force.

C. Night light paint is (oily self-drying spray / brush paint), containing polarity machine solvent modulation, the general water-based paint, elastic paint surface erosion, for caution, please try in a small area or hidden place before use.

1. Before painting, clean the surface of the cover first. If it is uneven, please repair and polish the coat surface flat and after it is completely dry, and then spray the acrylic series white (flat) primer in advance.

2. In order to make the luminous paint light storage effect better, it is recommended to spray the acrylic series of white (flat light) primer as the bottom layer before brushing.

3. After spraying or painting the primer is completely dry, then apply the luminous paint, and brush the coating in the same direction, not back and forth.

For a thick coating operation, wait for 15-20 minutes until the surface is slightly dry and perform the second operation in the same way as described above.

4. During construction, please do not brush back and forth above or left and right, so as to avoid the uneven dispersion of the luminous material, which seriously affects its light storage capacity.

5. The interval time of each stroke is 15-20 minutes, it is recommended that at least four strokes should be applied as the minimum benchmark depending on the uniform situation after brushing can add the fifth or more, with the thickness of the paint film, the light storage capacity is stronger (i. e., the night brightness is better).

6. Nocturt paint (refers to the drying time of about 20-30 minutes), after the painting is completed, spray or paint transparent paint again, to make the surface of the paint more beautiful.

Night paint construction: luminous paint should be painted to form a paint film to play a function. Therefore, dry adequately.

 

4 Precautions

 

Play the performance of luminous paint, must do complete and correct construction. The following are the precautions for construction:

(1) Understand the performance of luminous coating according to the prescribed method of construction: if it is professional construction: it is recommended to spray polymer capant one to two layers on the bottom and complete the paint film, so as to enhance the attachment, weather resistance and paint life.

(2) do complete surface treatment: the surface treatment is appropriate or not, has a great impact on the performance and life of the paint film, so it must completely remove rust, oil and other foreign bodies and fully dry before the construction of brush coating.

(3) luminous coating should be fully stirred evenly: luminous coating system pigment, resin liquid and luminous material mixture, from manufacturing to use, there may be a period of time, and it is inevitable to have pigment or luminous material separation and precipitation, so it should be fully stirred evenly before use.

(4) a brush thickness should not be too thick: if the brush thickness is too thick, it is easy to produce diarrhea, wrinkle and other phenomena. Therefore, to do appropriate control, do laminated coating construction.

(5) the laminated coating should be dry after the lower paint after construction: do the laminated coating, if the lower paint film is not dry, it is easy to wrinkle and even infiltrate the bottom paint peeling phenomenon. Therefore, the upper paint can only be applied after the lower paint is dry.

(6) Avoid construction in low temperature and humid climate: when the temperature drops below 5℃, will extremely reduce the paint dryness, at the same time in the humidity above 85 RH%, will produce fog, reduce light, and even affect the attachment, so should avoid construction in this situation.

(7) try to remove dust: dust will not only affect the performance of the paint film, but also damage the beauty, so as far as possible.

(8) Angle iron screws and other joints should be coated work: Angle iron joints, welding or screw and other parts, because it is not easy to do complete construction, should do coating work to make up for, and pay attention to avoid leakage, coating uneven events.

(9) Pay attention to the amount of thinning agent should not be arbitrarily add drying agent: if the paint is too thick, need to add thinning agent, we should pay attention to the amount of deployment, do not affect the covering force and the thickness of the film, the general situation is not more than 5% for the principle. Although the drying agent can promote the dryness of the paint, but the excessive drying agent is easy to lead to the surface dry dry phenomenon, while drying in the paint film will continue to promote the aging of the paint film.

(10) Fast drying: can be heated drying 65℃± 5℃, drying time of about 6-10 minutes.
