fluorescent dyes for nylon


Name: robert
Message: i would like to know if you have any neon type vibrant colors for dying nylon tubing

I do not sell dye, but dye retailers sell some true fluorescent dyes in the class of dyes referred to as 'acid dyes' that work quite well on nylon. Dharma Trading COmpany sells a fluorescent yellow. Pro Chemical & Dye sells Rhodamine red, a florescent hot pink dye. You can contact ProChem via the contact information on their web site to ask them if any others of their acid dyes are true fluorescents, and how well they work on nylon.

Of course any eye-poppingly bright pure dye color will give the impression of being flurorescent, but only true fluorescent dyes will glow under ultraviolet light, such as that emitted by 'black' lights.
