Today, the most common luminous paint of two types: fluorescent and fluorescent. The first manifests its effect in the ultraviolet rays, the second in the dark, charging due to the previously obtained charge from any sources. Of most interest is the luminous paint containing the TAT 33 phosphor. It is an inorganic powdery substance. Thanks to him, light-accumulating paints are created today, which have a very wide scope. They can be applied to various surfaces: wood, metal, fabric, plastic, film, etc.
Luminous paint is used in interior design. With the help of it, a specific decor of the rooms is created. It covers skirting boards, tiles for floors and walls, ceilings. It is also popular among people involved in tuning cars, especially with airbrushing. It covers caps, calipers, bumpers, dashboards and other elements of the car body and interior. Plates, business cards, banners, flyers, volume letters, pointers are drawn up in advertising with it.
In the textile industry, luminous paint adorns baseball caps, jeans, T-shirts, sneakers, laces, bandanas, ties. In addition, it is useful not only as a substance for decoration, but also as a component for the production of special signs necessary for safety (signs, exit-entrance signs, evacuation plans, road markings).
In art, it is used to decorate souvenirs, living and artificial flowers, create paintings. Luminous body paint is available. Such body painting is especially popular when conducting various shows in night clubs, cinemas. The tool is applied to the nails, getting an original manicure. Due to the fact that paints with a phosphor are safe for humans, their use is limited only by imagination. They are non-toxic, chemically inert, do not dissolve in water, do not emit radiation. They can be applied on the surface in various ways: with a roller, spray, brush and even fingers.
The paint glowing in the dark, having accumulated a sufficient amount of “charge” from the source, can retain its ability and shine for twelve hours, which is optimal even for the longest night. Its parameters remain unchanged for two hundred years. The strength of its glow exceeds the capabilities of phosphorus twenty times. In addition, its advantage is that in the daytime it does not stand out, therefore it can be safely used in any interiors without fear of creating something vulgar and tasteless.
Fluorescent paint is also widely used . It is also suitable for a variety of surfaces. It is used for coating plastics, metal, ceramics, ceilings, walls. For finishing works several types of paints are used, universal urethane-alkyd, acrylic art (interior and facade). It can also be colorless and visible. The first literally transforms the space at nightfall, the second is not inferior to it in anything, but the picture created with the help of it will no longer be a surprise.
