Lascaux Neon Acrylfarbe
Product information "Lascaux Neon Acrylfarbe"
Lascaux Neon fluorescent colours are characterised
by their intense luminance. They contain
special pigments serving as optical brighteners,
thus generating an intense luminescence.
Combined with black light (ultraviolet light ) this
unique property comes into its own as a highly
effective glow.

Usage
Lascaux Neon colours can be applied directly or diluted
with Lascaux Medium to practically every grease-free
surface.
Due to their pigments, fluorescent colours are generally
less opaque than most other acrylic artist’s colours.
In order to increase the opacity we recommend undercoating
with a comparable shade.
Lascaux Neon is especially suited to application with a
brush, roller, airbrush or other painting accessories.
Priming :
The most powerful luminescence can be achieved by
priming the surface using Lascaux Studio Titanium
White or painting directly on paper containing optical
brighteners.
Mixing :
Lascaux Neon fluorescent colours can be mixed
among each other and with other acrylic colours, yet
in the latter this will decrease luminescence.
Lightfastness:
Only the most lightfast fluorescent pigments are used
for Lascaux Neon. Nevertheless Neon – like all
other fluorescent colours – is only lightfast to a limited
degree. The lightfastness depends on the thickness
of the paint layer and the exposition of the work.
Varnishing :
Neon colours should not be protected using UV protection
varnishes, as these will block the UV light range
that is required for fluorescent colours to glow in their
characteristic manner.
Composition
Lascaux Neon consist of powerful fluorescent pigments
and a special pure acrylate binders.
