NighTec® Night Paint, application example

NighTec Editor — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 18:50:22 +0000

NighTec® night paint is illuminating rooms, corridors and staircases. This noctilucent paint or wall paint was developed by NighTec® and the German paint manufacturer Meffert AG Farbwerke. The specialty of this noctilucent paint, besides it’s advanced luminescent, is, that it’s body color (=color in daylight) is white. Usually you will have a yellowish tint in daylight. The paint itself is applied like any other indoor wall paint. The best techniqe to apply it is to use a roller, if you want a smooth and homogenous glow effect. The best noctilucent effect you will get when applying the NighTec® night paint onto a white substrate or by using a white base coat first and then coat twice with NighTec® night paint.
