PROCESSES TO IMPROVE THE FLUORESCENCE OF A COATING AND TO IMPROVE THE REFLECTANCE OF A BASIC COATING AND PAINT AND PAINT COATING COMPOSITES

摘要

A method for improving the optical performance of fluorescent coatings by the use of hollow polymer particles which scatter ultraviolet light and shorter wavelength visible light is described. The hollow polymer particles may be employed as an additive in a fluorescent coating, as an additive in a basecoat composition onto which a conventional fluorescent coating composition is applied, or as an additive in both the fluorescent coating composition and the basecoat composition onto which the fluorescent coating composition is applied.
