DESCRIPTION
Dye That is Self-Shining and Has Pearl Effect in Unlighted Environments and the
Production Method Thereof
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention is related to dyes provided in dye chemicals industry, which both provide decorative appearance and noticeability thanks to pearl effect in lighted environments (daytime) and ensure pearl effect by shining by itself in unlighted environment (night), and the production method thereof.
STATE OF ART
In the state of art, the dyes that provide pearl effect in the applications performed on wall surfaces are only applied to provide effect in lighted environments. Since, dyes with pearl effect can only be seen in lighted environment and fulfill their functions. However, the dyes with pearl effect cannot fulfill said function in dark, namely, unlighted environments.
As the present articulated lorries and closed trailers are dyed with standard dyes, the light reflectors are positioned in order to increase visibility thereof for traffic safety in both lighted and unlighted environments. The visibility of closed trailers in both lighted and unlighted environments are not enough in terms of traffic safety. Moreover, the light reflectors are not effective as much as the dye and they have limited usage area; therefore, additional costs arise for both producer and consumer.
In the state of art, the visible parts of the doors in outdoor and indoor areas such as houses, work places, offices, schools and apartments are dyed with standard dye (top coat). People have to go towards the doors for leaving the indoor area where they are present in the case of fire, earthquake and similar dangerous moments as soon as possible. Therefore, the doors cannot be visible due to dark arising from sudden electric cut in the cases such as earthquake, fire and etc. in unlighted environments. In order to make them visible, additional reflectors and similar objects are positioned thereon in the state of art. In such conditions, several seconds that are lost lead people to be damaged severely and even, to deaths.
In the state of art, the problem called bubbling is experienced on the surfaces applied with similar dyes due to particles. Therefore, problems are experienced and the usage area is limited in the state of art.
The dyes with pearl effect in the state of are not resistant against especially UV lights. In addition, they are not effective against bacterial and mold growth.
As a result of the abovementioned drawbacks and the insufficiencies of the present solutions regarding the subject, the need for a novel production method and a novel product arises in the dye chemicals industry.
