STARGLOW CLEAR UV Yellow Paint

Starglow Clear UV Paint is a water-borne polyurethane suspension containing a ‘smart’ UV pigment which reacts to longwave UV light at 365nm by fluorescing brightly in one of several colours. When applied over white or light colour surfaces, the paint should be translucent or opaque depending on the UV colour together with the number and thickness of coats applied. Do not apply over Black (or dark coloured surfaces) as this will severely reduce the fluorescence of the paint and make it more visible / apparent under normal light.

Please note:  These paints are often called ‘Invisible’ UV paints. This refers to the ‘hidden’ colour they produce when exposed to UV Blacklight and it does not mean the paint itself is invisible!

Starglow paints may be used on a wide range of surfaces providing they are pre-coated with a water based base coat or white primer where appropriate (do not apply over solvent / oil based primers or base-coats as these may reject the paint) and clean and free from dirt, oil, grease and loose particles etc.

For best results, apply to a smooth white (primed) surface using a spray-gun / air-brush, foam brush or fine bristle brush.

The fluorescent (glow) effect of this coating is entirely dependent on the UV light source used. The stronger the UV the brighter the resulting fluorescence. The higher the quality of UV (i.e. its frequency and purity) the richer the resulting fluorescent colour. However, if the paint is illuminated using an inferior UV LED light source emitting a low-quality UV output, then the paint’s colour may be adversly affected, resulting in a more bleached or washed-out appearance.  Therefore, only use NON-LED blacklights at 365nm frequency.

Starglow Clear UV Paints may be inter-mixed to produce other colours and tones.

The more coats you apply the stronger the fluorescent ‘neon’ effect will be under UV Blacklight (365nm). However, the more visible the coating it will become under normal light (especially if applied to a darker surface instead of white).

Starglow Clear UV Paints may be thinned with a little (up to 10% MAX). If the coating is likely to suffer from regular contact, abrasion, wear and tear or be used outdoors and exposed to the elements, then apply 2-3 coats of Starglow protective top-coat.

The performance and life expectancy of this paint will be dramatically reduced if using outdoors where there is prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Therefore to maximise its lifespan under extended outdoor use, apply only to North facing surfaces.

Please Note:  STARGLOW Paints are NOT suitable for use on HOT surfaces or any high temperature applications.

Whist these paints are not specific made for use on fabrics they should be suitable for use stronger fabrics such as cotton, however it would be necessary for you to test the paint on sample of the fabric first.  Do not use Clear UV paints on WHITE fabrics!  They will probably be UV sensitive and will clash with the paint as both fluoresce together!  Instead choose a UV safe off-white colour such as Ivory or cream.

We strongly recommend you order a sample jar, to test if the paint is suitable for use with your application before ordering a larger size, as our paints are made-to-order and non refundable and non-returnable.
