TopwellChem’s Infrared Fluorescent Pigment IR980 Red  is a cutting-edge, invisible-excitation pigment that emits vibrant red fluorescence under 980nm near-infrared (NIR) light. Ideal for security printing, anti-counterfeiting solutions, and covert markings, this pigment remains undetectable to the naked eye in daylight while offering exceptional stability and compatibility with resins, inks, and coatings. Perfect for high-security industries, art projects, and industrial tracking.

Key Features

• Invisible Activation: Remains completely hidden under normal light, eliminating visual detection risks.
• High Stability: Resists fading from UV exposure, heat, and chemicals for long-term durability.
• Versatile Compatibility: Blends seamlessly with inks, paints, plastics, and coatings for flexible application.
• Precision Performance: Optimized for 980nm wavelength excitation, delivering consistent, high-intensity fluorescence.

Ideal for anti-counterfeiting labels, banknote security features, industrial part tracking, and military-grade camouflage, this pigment ensures authenticity and traceability without compromising aesthetics. Its eco-friendly formulation meets global safety standards, making it suitable for consumer goods and sensitive applications.

Technical Tip: Pair with NIR light sources (e.g., 980nm LED) for optimal fluorescence visibility.

Application Scenarios

1. Security & Anti-Counterfeiting: Embed covert markings in banknotes, ID cards, or luxury packaging to verify authenticity.
2. Industrial Coding: Track components in automotive or aerospace manufacturing with invisible, durable labels.
3. Art & Design: Create hidden patterns in glow-in-the-dark art or interactive installations.
4. Military/Defense: Develop camouflage materials or covert signage detectable only with specialized equipment.
5. Agricultural Research: Tag plants or samples for non-disruptive monitoring under NIR imaging.

Universal characteristics

Infrared excitation ink/pigment: Infrared excitation ink is a printing ink giving off visible, bright and dazzling light (red, green and blue) when exposed to infrared light (940-1060nm). With the features of high technology content, difficulty in copying and high anti-forgery capability, it can be applied in anti-forgery printing widely, especially in RMB notes and gasoline vouchers.

Product characteristics
1. Photoluminescent pigment is a light-yellow powder, turns to yellow green, blue green, blue, and purple etc colors after being excited by light.
2. The smaller the particle size, the lower the luminance is.
3. Compared with other pigments, photoluminescent pigment can be easily and widely used in many fields.
4. High initial luminance, long afterglow time (Test according to DIN67510 Standard, its afterglow time can be 10, 000 minutes)
5. Its light-resistance, aging-resistance and chemical stability are all good (more than 10 years of life span)
6. It is a new type of environmentally friendly photoluminescent pigment with the characteristics of non-toxicity, non-radioactivity, non-flammability and non-explosibility.
