What it is for
Key facts
DayGlo T and GT pigments are solvent-resistant fluorescent pigments made for formulas that use strong solvents and high heat.
They resist bleeding in strong solvents and hold their integrity under heat and pressure.
They offer long-term shelf stability in water-based latex systems.
GT pigments have higher color strength than the T series.
GT pigments are compatible with nitrocellulose, PVC-acetate, polyamide, acrylic and chlorinated rubber resins.
They wet out and disperse in solvent-based vehicles or liquid resins with intensive stirring, such as a Cowles dissolver.
GT pigments suit solvent-based coatings, waterborne coatings, inks and paper coatings.
DayGlo’s example loading for fluorescent lacquer finishes is roughly 15 to 20% by weight.
How to use it
- 1Pick the T or GT grade; GT grades give stronger color.
- 2Weigh the pigment and vehicle so you can repeat the mix.
- 3Add the powder slowly to the ink, resin or clear base under intensive high-speed stirring until fully wet out and dispersed.
- 4Check the solvent system first when using strong solvent combinations.
- 5For lacquer-type finishes, start around 15 to 20% pigment by weight.
- 6Print or spray a test over a white base and check color and adhesion before production.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
What is TW 3938 T-19 Horizon Blue?
TW 3938 T-19 Horizon Blue is a fluorescent blue. It is part of the TW DayGlo Fluorescent Powder Pigments. These 1 lb fluorescent powder pigments use DayGlo T and GT thermoset-series pigments for mixing custom neon and fluorescent colors into inks, coatings and paints. They are built to resist strong solvents and heat without bleeding and stay stable in water-based latex systems. The GT grades give higher color strength than the T grades.
Who makes the pigment?
The pigments are DayGlo T and GT series fluorescent pigments.
What is the difference between T and GT?
Both are solvent- and heat-resistant fluorescent pigments; the GT grades have higher color strength than the T grades.
Can I use these in water-based ink?
DayGlo rates T and GT pigments as shelf-stable in water-based latex systems. Test in your ink before production.
Will they bleed in solvent inks?
They are designed to withstand strong solvents without bleeding.
How do I mix the powder in?
Disperse it with intensive high-speed stirring, such as a Cowles-type mixer, until it is fully wet out.
How much pigment should I add?
Loading depends on the system. DayGlo's lacquer example uses about 15 to 20% by weight; test for your ink.
Do fluorescent colors look brighter over white?
Yes. DayGlo's finishing guide starts with a white primer under the fluorescent coat.
