What is Electroluminescent paint?

Electroluminescent paint is a lighting solution based on paint and it uses similar basic principles as EL principles. The difference is the large amount of application uses to go with it. EL paint can be applied on almost any surface, wood, drywall, plastic and metal are some examples. When a charge is applied to it through an inverter, it lights up. The paint really bright glow, durability, and possibilities that didn’t existed before. If painting with light is on your mind then now is the time.

Electroluminescent paint is a paint which has a layered process and is sprayed onto different materials with gravity spray guns. Before you can paint with light 4 different layers of paint go into the process. When proper voltage and frequency is applied through an inverter the electrodes in the paint are excited and it lights up. Another amazing thing about this technology is that when a topcoat is applied all the tracing elements get hidden. Wherever there is a need of precise details this technology comes as very handy like retail displays, POP, artistic installations and pop up shops. Different colours, transparent paints yield different results.

Electroluminescent light provides visual effects while other sources are not so effective be it painting, film covering or textile covering. Electroluminescence is derivative of LEDs and is defined by a combination of various functional layers. This light doesn’t need rigid support to work and have a formulation on semi-liquid or liquid phases. There is wide variety of colours in electroluminescent paint. For installation you don’t need electronic equipment and is really easy to use. Electroluminescent paint is great for animated jewels, light jewels and fire fighters equipment etc.

Electroluminescent paint is a combination of sprayable layers and is powered by a standard inverter. So the very first equipment required is power supply and airbrush. With electroluminescent paint any body surface area can become light communication device. The light organic paint is not easy to install and liquid gets deposited on the area which is prepared. It is coated with conventional translucent varnish after installation in order to protect it against external constraints.

Electroluminescent paint is a painting that lights up. It consists of primary coat, conductive coat, Luminophore coat, busbar, dielectric layer and a suitable power source. It is sprayed on ground or vinyl polyester fibres. An organic light has an infinite spectrum of use that embraces the creativity of the artist. The Aviation industry in Europe is illustrated with electroluminescent paints.
