  • Fluorescent appears in different colors

 

Under UV Black Light

  • Fluorescent also glows in different colors

 

Can I create hidden artwork with White to Color Products?

Yes.

We have this in

  1. Glow in the Dark
  2. UV Light Reactive

Glow in the Dark appears white under normal light and glows in different colors in the dark.

UV Light Reactive Powder appears white under normal light and reacts to UV Black lights by changing colors.

Both products can be used on white backgrounds to create artwork, messages, or markings that are difficult to see under normal light but become visible in the dark or under UV black lights.

Do UV fluorescent pigments glow in darkness without UV light?

No. UV fluorescent pigments only glow while exposed to UV or blacklight and stop glowing once the UV source is removed.

Is Invisible UV Ink completely invisible?

Yes. Invisible UV ink is a special formulation which dries transparent. It is totally invisible under normal light. It only becomes visible when exposed to UV black lights.

Is UV White to Color Paint Invisible Under Normal Light?

Yes. UV White to Color paint appears white or nearly invisible under normal lighting when applied on white or light-colored surfaces. Under UV blacklight exposure, the paint transforms into different bright fluorescent colors. On darker or colored surfaces, the white base may remain partially visible under normal light.
