Fluorescent Pigment
BXColor Fluorescent pigments are essentially fluorescent dyes and pigments dissolved in polymer application. The typical polymer matrices include different amino resins, polyesters, copolymers of ester and amide, polyamide, and acrylic resin. They are in powder forms with various particle sizes, or powders dispersed in water/solvent or vehicle. Some of our products are formaldehyde-free.
Each of BXColor Fluorescent pigments has unique sets of properties and functions. Some of them have multiple functions and applications, while others are designed with particular functionalities for specialized applications. It is critical that end-users provide application information in as much detail as possible for us to come up with the best possible recommendations.
