Chapter 1: What exactly are fluorescent pigments?
Fluorescent pigments can emit bright colors under ultraviolet rays (such as sunlight) or other specific light sources. It does not "glow" by itself, but absorbs external light energy and then emits brighter and more vivid colors.Chapter 2: Why do road markings use fluorescent pigments?
1. Improve visibility, especially at night or in bad weather:Ordinary road markings are still obvious during the day, but at night or in heavy rain, when the visibility is low, making it difficult for people to see clearly. However, road markings using fluorescent pigments are different - they can "glow" under the illumination of car lights and can be clearly seen even on foggy and rainy days.
2. Early warning:
For example, in the curve ahead, school sections, construction areas, etc., to make drivers slow down or change lanes in advance, high-brightness fluorescent pigments are often used everywhere. It tells you in advance: "There is a situation ahead, drive carefully!"
3. It is also conspicuous during the day:
Don't think that fluorescent pigments are only effective at night. Its bright colors are also conspicuous during the day, especially yellow, orange, and green, which are easier to notice than ordinary paints. Just like the construction workers wearing fluorescent clothes, you can tell from a distance that they are working.
Chapter 3: How do fluorescent pigments "work"?
When the ultraviolet rays in the sun shine on the road markings, the fluorescent pigments immediately "absorb" these lights and then "convert" them into brighter visible light, such as yellow-green and orange-red; so we can clearly see the markings from a distance.Chapter 4: Types and selection of fluorescent pigments
Different fluorescent pigments have different properties. When used for road markings, the following factors are mainly considered:1. Weather resistance:
Road markings are exposed to the sun, rain, wind and sand for a long time, so fluorescent pigments must be sun-resistant, rain-resistant, and aging-resistant.
2. Color saturation:
The brighter the color, the easier it is to notice. When driving over long distances and at high speeds, bright colors can remind drivers in advance.
3. Durability:
We hope that it will last for several years after being applied once, rather than fading after a few months. Therefore, the stability of fluorescent pigments is important.
Commonly used colors are:
Fluorescent yellow-green (most used);
Fluorescent orange;
Fluorescent red;
Fluorescent yellow;
Fluorescent pink (rare but used in special areas);
