Specialty-Chemicals: Lumilux offers luminescence products for a wide range of applications. Such as phosphorescence (long afterglow) and fluorescent pigments for long afterglow safety way guidance systems and safety signs, glow-in-the-dark toys, brand protection, authenticity markings, prevent forgery as well as for automatic processes.

Industries & Applications

Industries & Applications

Lumilux® luminescent products are developed and manufactured in a variety of types, colors and particle sizes to serve many different applications and industries.

Your first decision should be : Which type of luminescent product fits your needs? Please note the distinction among the terms luminescence, fluorescence and phosphorescence.

A fluorescent product emits light only during the time when it is excited by an energy source such as light with different energy or wavelength.

A phosphorescent product continues to emit light after the energy source has been removed. This is typically referred to as a glow-in-the-dark or afterglow effect. Phosphorescence could also be viewed as delayed fluorescence.

Luminescence includes both fluorescence and phosphorescence.

Fluorescent pigments, dyes and fibers are what we call invisible colorants, meaning they add color to end products, but these color features are invisible under normal illumination.
The difference between pigments and dyes is relatively simple - pigments are insoluble in the used matrix material, whereas dyes are soluble. For reasons of simplicity, we consistently refer to Lumilux® pigments but these may include materials which are soluble and behave as dyes.
Safety
Lumilux offers luminescence products for a wide range of applications. Such as phosphorescent products (afterglow or glow-in-the-dark) for safety application. This types are long afterglowing pigments (zinc sulfide and alkaline earth aluminate) for phosphorescent safety product. As well as luminescent effects for toys and noveltys.

For safety applications, Honeywell offers zinc sulfide-based Lumilux® Green N-grades and the new, much brighter alkaline earth aluminates Lumilux® Green SN-grades. Both types of pigments can be used for phosphorescent safety products.
Paints
Lumilux offers luminescence products for a wide range of applications. Such as phosphorescent products (afterglow or glow-in-the-dark) for safety application. This types are long afterglowing pigments (zinc sulfide and alkaline earth aluminate) for phosphorescent safety product. As well as luminescent effects for toys and noveltys.

Long afterglowing pigments for dispersion paint.
A wide range of free-flowing green, red and blue pigment colors for water and solvent based paints.
Polymers
