Fluorescent Wallpapers

Be original

When you want to diversify the interior of an apartment or office with something that few people have seen, pay attention to the fluorescent wallpaper. These are wallpapers that glow in the dark under the influence of ultraviolet lamps. They can cover the entire room with the same ornament or create a panel on a separate wall, for example, with the view of the night metropolis. In the daytime it will be the most usual wallpaper, but it's worth the sun to come in - and they will come to life with luminous colors.

There is a more unusual and modern version: wallpaper fluorescent 3D. In the ordinary light, they also do not betray themselves, but it is worthwhile to push the curtains and turn on the black light bulb (BLB or ultraviolet lamp), and the image acquires volume.

Technologies of creation

Fluorescent wallpaper is printed on a non-woven fabric using 3D printing technology, which allows you to print high-resolution images (that is, very high-quality and clear). The leader and pioneer in the manufacture of such wallpapers - South Korea. Very many, especially moms, who want to purchase fluorescent wallpaper for a children's room , are interested in the question of what kind of substance makes images glow. Many are sure that radioactive elements - for example, radon - are used in the manufacture of luminous paints in the dark, and what else, like with a Geiger counter, you should not choose a wallpaper. Others believe that fluorescent paints are made of scary poisonous phosphorus. However, neither those nor the others are right.

Fluorescent paints are made on the basis of natural minerals, and, in fact, they are luminophores. Manufacturers of fabrics have long been adding them to the coloring of their products, so that the white looks white. Manufacturers of washing powders also include them in the composition. Apply fluorescent pigments and for the production of coated paper. In addition, they are used in paints for body art.
