With the continuous improvement of living standards and the continuous changes of people's aesthetic concepts, the requirements for clothing are gradually diversified. They no longer merely focus on practical functions such as durability and warmth, but pursue more aesthetics. All kinds of fabrics and fashionable clothing emerge in an endless stream. Among them, the application of luminous powder printing patterns in clothing has gradually been promoted and is favored by young consumer groups.

Luminous printing is a kind of special printing. It uses light-storing materials and adhesives and other additives to print flower patterns. After being irradiated by sunlight or other light sources, the energy stored by the luminous powder jumps from a low-energy state to an active state. It can emit specified light in the dark and has a special visual effect. When the luminous powder was first used on clothing, it was often used as clothing for special work occasions such as public security, traffic, fire protection, and stage performances. As many high and new technologies enter the textile printing and dyeing field, new materials, new technologies, and new processes continue to emerge. Luminous powder printing patterns have begun to be tried in modern clothing such as evening dresses, casual wear, and children's wear. Imagine adding a luminous pattern to an ordinary piece of clothing. The gleaming printed pattern in the dark is not only beautiful, but also very individual, which makes the whole piece of clothing instantly improved to a higher level.

Luminous powder is also called glow in the dark powder, including water-based luminous powder and oil-soluble luminous powder. When used in clothing printing patterns, luminous powder should be selected according to dyes to choose water-soluble or oil-soluble luminous pigments. Water-soluble dyes must choose water-soluble luminescent powder, if oily is used, the actual effect of luminous light will be lost. Secondly, the luminous powder is alkaline. When choosing dyes or other auxiliary materials, you must choose neutral or alkaline, otherwise it will reflect.

The printing pattern of luminous powder is generally suitable to choose 400-600 mesh, and the luminous powder is generally 200-800 mesh or higher. The smaller the particles, the better the penetration, the good adhesion fastness and the soft hand feeling. But the brightness is poor, the particles are coarser, the net permeability is poor, the net is easy to block, and the hand feels hard, but the luminous effect is bright. The last is the choice of clothing fabrics. The sparse fabrics help the penetration of the printing paste, and the luminous effect produced is also more significant, such as, polyester and so on.

If you want to make a luminous printing pattern, you need to prepare the transparent printing paste together with the luminous powder. In a clean stainless steel container, mix the paste → adhesive → steplessly variable emulsifier at high speed into a uniform paste → add oily printing paste rheology modifier and hand fastness modifier→medium speed adjust into luminous printing paste, ready to use stock paste. After being adjusted into a luminous paste, it is combined with the printing process to create a beautiful and personalized printing pattern.

In addition, we should also care about the safety of luminous powder, iSuoChem® Luminous powder is non-toxic, harmless, non-radioactive, safe to the human body, and does not harm the environment. And what we use is the inorganic oxide complex of rare earth doped aluminate, It has strong energy storage, high brightness, and afterglow time can be as long as 12 hours.

Our company has many kinds of effect pigments, such as photochromic pigments, thermochromic pigments, pearlescent pigments, optical chameleon pigments and so on.
