Fluorescent Pigments for Coatings Ranbar D Series

Introduction:
Ranbar D series daylight fluorescent pigment is composed of opaque thermosetting microspherical with a small particle matrix. It stands out for its bright color, strong coloring power, excellent dispersion, solvent resistance, and migration resistance. It is mainly in the use of strong solvent paint and ink applications, and can also be used in a variety of vinyl plastics and plastics.

Physical & Chemical Properties:
Ranbar D series fluorescent pigments for coatings are composed of a solid solution of dyestuffs in a thermoset benzoguanamine-formaldehyde copolymer.

■Specific Gravity: 1.3g/ml

■Decomposition Temperature: >300℃

■Average Particle Size: <5µm

■Oil Absorpt ion: ≤65g oil /100g of pigment

Lightfastness:
Fluorescent pigments are stable to indoor light or outdoor conditions without direct sunlight. With exposure to outdoor sunlight, the color will change, whereby the degree of fading is depending on the following factors:

■Color of the pigment;

■Type of polymer carrier;

■Intensity of the incident sunlight;

■Pigmentloading and thickness of the end product. The higher the pigment concentration is, the better the lightfastness is.

The lightfastness may be improved by including UV-absorber (s) in the formulation and/or by making use of clear overcoats containing UV-absorber(s).

Storage:
Ranbar D series fluorescent pigments are delivered in paper bags with PE lining, net weight of 10kg. It should be kept in a cool place and away from heat. All opened bags should be carefully resealed immediately after use.

Toxicity:
Ranbar D series daylight fluorescent pigments are essentially non-toxic and non-hazardous with extremely low heavy-metal content. A safety data sheet (SDS) is available upon request.
