ULTRA VIOLET REACTIVE PIGMENTS
PRODUCT
An Ultra Violet Pigment is a fluorescent dye
that has been dissolved in resin, and then
ground to a fine pigment. When exposed
to ultra violet light these pigments fluoresce
intensely.
All the colours are visible under normal light,
and are fluorescent in UV light except for
Invisible Blue. This milky semi-transparent
colour is almost invisible in normal light but glows pale blue under UV.
USE
The product is used extensively in nightclubs for special effects under UV light. Best
results can obtained by painting onto a bright white surface. This allows the light to
reflect back through the paint and increases the colour intensity. These pigments are
not light-fast and as such are not suitable for fine art applications.
RECIPE
UV Powder can be mixed with most water-based media to produce fluorescent paint.
500 ml glaze mix
100 grams UV powder
METHOD
Mix UV powder to a paste with glaze mix. Thin out with the above proportion of
glaze mix.
If using concentrated emulsion glaze dilute 2 parts water to 1 part glaze to give the
correct mix.
In our opinion these paints are the most intense
UV colours on the market and up to now they
have been difficult to buy over the counter in the
UK.
In addition to the usual range of fluorescent
colours, the Wildfire range also includes a set of
‘invisible’ colours, including blue, red, green, orange
and yellow. These paints appear milky white
under normal light, but fluoresce intensely when
under UV light, allowing the artist huge scope for
dramatic transformation effects.
Invisible Clear Colours are totally clear when dry
and will fluoresce under UV light. This makes them
ideal for painting on darker surfaces where standard
invisible colours would show.
All visible paint colours appear bright under ordinary
light and fluoresce brilliantly under UV light, while
the white invisible paint colours change to bright
glowing colours when UV light is applied. Colours
can be intermixed as desired to create tertiary colours.
Wildfire Glow Green is a photo luminescent paint
that glows in the dark. The longer and more intense
the exposure to UV light, the longer and brighter the
Glow Green will glow.
All Wildfire UV Reactive Paints are acrylic based and
dry quickly to a smooth matt finish that is water
resistant and flexible.
In some applications (e.g. high traffic exposures) Wildfire UV Reactive Paint may require
a protective clear topcoat. Use Wildfire Matt or Gloss Inhibitor sealer over Wildfire
Luminescent Paints. This specially formulated sealer protects and inhibits UV-B and UV-C
while still allowing Wildfire UV-A to pass through in addition to improving washability and
wear resistance.
