While the majority of fluorescent pigments are composed of solid solutions of fluorescent dyes and additives in specialty resins, Solid-state fluorescent pigments are fluorescent in their crystalline form.
However, the “STIR-IN” advantage, which is a result of the fine particle size and the resin coating of the other ARALON® pigments, is not present in this product range.
ARALON® SSF pigments need to be dispersed in the final application formulation or in a part of the formulation in order to achieve their optimal color strength. They need to be stabilized in the target dispersion.
Main applications are
stationary
crayon pens
marking
printing inks and
Non-Destructive-Testing (NDT), Figure above.
Most important products for for NDT applications are
ARALON® SSF-100 / Pigment Yellow 101 / CAS: 2387-03-3
