As an important component of reflective materials, luminous film is widely used in safety signs, reflective clothing and industrial protection. As an important material to ensure safety, the selection, ratio and process flow of raw materials of luminous film directly affect the luminous performance and service life of the product. Through the fine control of high-purity phosphor powder, high-quality resin and professional additives, combined with strict production technology and comprehensive quality testing, YSM brand luminous film not only has significant advantages in luminous brightness and duration, but also has won market trust in weather resistance, environmental protection and customized services.

 

 

Luminous film raw material composition and component analysis

 

Main raw material types

 

The luminous effect of luminous film mainly depends on the following types of raw materials:

  • Phosphorescent materials (Phosphors): This type of material is the core component of luminous film luminescence, such as zinc sulfide, manganese sulfide, etc., which continues to emit light after absorbing light energy and is the "energy bank" of luminous film.
  • Photoluminescent pigments: Some luminous films use photoluminescent pigments. This type of pigment is stimulated to emit light under the action of external light, and has the characteristics of bright colors and high brightness.
  • Resin substrate: High-quality resin not only serves as a carrier, but also protects the internal luminescent material to ensure the stability and weather resistance of the product during long-term use.
  • Additives and fillers: Such as antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers, etc., these additives help to improve the durability and anti-aging properties of luminous film, and ensure that it still maintains a good luminous effect after long-term use.

 

Raw material composition analysis

  • Luminescent agent composition: High-purity phosphor powder is used, which has uniform particle size and high purity, and can be stimulated to emit light for a long time under low light conditions.
  • Matrix material: Resins with excellent weather resistance such as polyester and acrylic are often used to ensure the service life of the luminous film in various environments.
  • Functional additives: Additives such as anti-UV agents and antioxidants not only improve the material's anti-aging ability, but also maintain the brightness and duration of luminescence.

 

Through fine regulation of the raw material composition, the luminous film can achieve multiple functions from short-term emergency lighting to long-term monitoring needs, meeting the safety and protection standards of different fields.

Luminous performance and duration of luminous film


Luminous principle and influencing factors


Glow in the dark film relies on phosphorescent materials to absorb ambient light energy and gradually release the stored energy after the light source is extinguished, thereby achieving luminescence. The main factors affecting the duration of luminescence include:

  • Light intensity and charging time: The longer the charging time, the longer the luminescence time will usually be. Modern high-efficiency phosphorescent materials can store a large amount of energy in a short time, ensuring a luminous effect of more than several hours.
  • Material purity and ratio: High-purity raw materials and precise ratios can significantly improve the brightness and duration of luminescence. Some products can continuously glow for more than 8 hours under ideal conditions.
  • Ambient temperature and humidity: In extreme environments, the luminous efficiency of the material may be affected to a certain extent, but by optimizing the process and adding specific additives, modern luminous films have strong environmental adaptability.

 

Duration data reference

 

  • General products: Under sufficient light, the luminous film generally lasts for 4 to 6 hours.
  • High-performance products: Products with optimized processes can continuously glow for more than 8 hours under ideal conditions, and can also provide sufficient safety tips in low-light environments.

Process flow of luminous film

 

Overview of process steps

 

The process flow of producing luminous film mainly includes the following key links:

  • Raw material preparation: Prepare high-purity phosphor powder, resin and various additives according to the ratio requirements to ensure uniform mixing of materials.
  • Pretreatment and mixing: Pretreat the phosphor powder, remove impurities and fully mix it with the resin to ensure uniform distribution of the luminous material.
  • Coating and film formation: Use automated equipment to evenly coat the mixed liquid on the substrate to ensure consistency in film thickness and luminous effect.
  • Curing and drying: After light curing or heat curing treatment, ensure that the material is stable and fixed to form a uniform luminous layer.
  • Post-testing: Strict quality inspection of the product, including indicators such as luminous brightness, duration, and weather resistance, to ensure compliance with relevant standards.

 

Key technical highlights

 

  • Accurate temperature and humidity control: During the curing process, the chemical reaction between the luminescent agent and the resin is ensured to reach the optimal state by accurately controlling the temperature and humidity.
  • Automated detection system: Full-line automated detection ensures that the performance indicators of each roll of luminous film meet customer requirements and reduce human errors.
