What’s the difference of highlighter dyes and highlighter pigment?

Although highlighter dyes and highlighter pigments both involve fluorescence characteristics, they have some differences in application, composition, and usage.

Fluorescent pigment is a special type of pigment that appears colorless under general visible light irradiation, but under ultraviolet light irradiation, it will display luminescent colors such as red, yellow, green, and blue. Fluorescent pigments are mainly divided into inorganic fluorescent pigments and organic fluorescent pigments, each with different chemical structures and characteristics. Fluorescent pigments are widely used in various fields such as anti-counterfeiting, painting, DIY, and infrastructure materials.

The highlighter marker dyes are specifically designed for fluorescent markers, and its dye composition and formula enable the marker to produce a bright fluorescent effect when writing or painting. This dye usually has good quick drying and water resistance, allowing fluorescent markers to maintain bright colors for a long time.

In terms of composition, both highlighter pigments and highlighter marker dyes may contain compounds with fluorescent properties, but the specific composition and formula may vary depending on the application and product type. For example, carrier resins and additives may be added to fluorescent pigments to improve their performance and processability, while fluorescent marker dyes may focus more on quick drying and color saturation.

In terms of usage, highlighter pigments usually need to be mixed with other media before use, such as mixing with resin to make fluorescent coatings or inks; The highlighter marker is a direct writing tool that users can use to write or draw on various surfaces.
