| These materials have a yellowish or white color body under visible light and produce a bright vibrant color when exposed to an Ultra-Violet light source. Phantom pigments can be used for security and tracing functions where a non-visible color is warranted. Applications: - General Applications: Phantom pigments are available in five basic colors and can be used in a wide range of applications such as rotogravure and intaglio printing, plastics and coatings to name a few. These materials have excellent temperature stability and solvent resistance. Phantom pigments can be also mixed with each other to create additional color phenomenon.
- Plastic Applications: Phantom pigments have excellent heat stability. They can withstand temperatures above 550°F making them excellent candidates for use in plastic resins.
- Graphic Arts and Coatings Applications: Because of Phantom pigments excellent solvent resistance, they can be used in a number of inks and coatings. An initial pigment concentration of 5% to 10% is recommended but may need to go up to 25% based on film thickness.
