SaBoFlex Fluo Chartreusse – Plastisol Liquid Colour

Product detailed description

SaBoFlex Fluo Chartreusse is a concentrated fluorescent pigment paste for colouring plastisol when making soft lures. It provides a vivid fluorescent yellow-green shade for whole lures, bright bellies, tails, stripes and multi-colour castings. This is a colouring concentrate intended for mixing into base plastisol – it is not ready-to-use plastisol, airbrush paint or a surface coating.

Fluo Chartreusse produces a vivid fluorescent yellow-green shade. The final appearance varies with the dose, base plastisol, casting thickness, other additives and lighting. The concentrate in the bottle and an on-screen photograph are therefore not exact colour references for the finished lure; use a thin cooled drop or a test casting made with your own plastisol.

The term Fluo identifies this product as part of the fluorescent range. It does not mean phosphorescent afterglow in darkness, nor does it independently guarantee a particular response under a specific UV lamp. Fluo Yellow and Fluo Green are separate single-colour shades, while Fluo Transparent Yellow/Green has its transparent character stated in the name. Fluo Chartreusse should therefore be treated as its own yellow-green colour rather than an automatic substitute for those products. Without a technical data sheet, we do not claim that it contains nanoglitter or has a metallic, pearlescent, precisely defined opaque or transparent, or non-bleed formulation.

For this pigment paste, SAF recommends adding small increments to plastisol that is already hot and clear. Its true intensity is difficult to judge in a cold, milky-looking base. In clear working plastisol, you can follow the shade as it develops and increase saturation gradually. Prepare the plastisol in accordance with its manufacturer's temperature and safety instructions and do not overheat it.

We do not specify a universal number of drops per 100 g. Drop size varies with the dispensing nozzle, and the same dose can look different in another plastisol or casting thickness. Begin with a small amount: a pale mixture can be coloured further, but added concentrate cannot be removed. For repeatable production, record the weight of plastisol, colour dose and every other additive.

Use Fluo Chartreusse throughout a lure or for a bright belly, tail, head, stripe or smaller strike point. It can be trialled in laminates with black, smoke, brown, white, pearl, green or yellow. A suitable heat-resistant black, green, gold or holographic glitter can change the contrast and flash. Establish the yellow-green base before adding glitter and verify each new recipe in a small batch.

The 50 g option is practical for trying the shade, producing smaller batches or maintaining a broad workshop palette. The 250 g bottle is better suited to regular production or repeated recipes; the greater mass of paste also makes the complete bottle easier to homogenise by shaking. The 1000 g pack is intended for intensive use and larger repeat runs. Pack size does not change the concentration or recommended method of use.

Storage and condition of the packaging

The colour paste and base plastisol are not the same material from a storage perspective. In SAF workshop use, Fluo Chartreusse remains easier to handle in a cooler environment than plastisol itself, but the manufacturer does not publish a precise minimum storage temperature. Do not therefore treat the colour as frost-proof. Store it upright, tightly closed and dry at a stable room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat sources and frost. Allow a chilled, unopened bottle to return naturally to room temperature before opening, then homogenise it thoroughly. Do not warm it on a radiator or hotplate or in a microwave.

Packaging note: Particularly after transport, a light oily film may appear around the thread of a concentrated pigment paste, or a mark may develop on the label even when the bottle is closed. Provided there is no evident loss of contents, this superficial trace does not affect use of the colour; we apologise if the label is marked. After dispensing, wipe the nozzle and thread, retighten the cap and store the bottle upright, ideally in a washable tray or sealed bag.

Frequently asked questions about SaBoFlex Fluo Chartreusse

What colour is Fluo Chartreusse?

It is the catalogue name for this vivid yellow-green fluorescent shade. The final balance between yellow and green depends on dose, base plastisol, casting thickness, other additives and lighting, so assess a cooled test casting.

Is Fluo Chartreusse the same as Fluo Yellow, Fluo Green or Fluo Transparent Yellow/Green?

No. They are separately named products. Fluo Transparent Yellow/Green additionally states a transparent character in its name. Compare them in equal cooled test castings rather than treating them as interchangeable.

Should Fluo Chartreusse be added to cold or hot plastisol?

SAF recommends adding it in small increments to plastisol that is already hot and clear. Mix thoroughly after every addition and inspect a cooled drop or test casting before increasing the intensity.

How can I preserve the intended yellow-green balance?

Use a clean vessel, nozzle and stirring tool with no residue of blue, green, yellow or dark pigments. Establish Fluo Chartreusse on its own first and record any later adjustment in small increments.

Which layers can form a useful laminate with Fluo Chartreusse?

Black, smoke or brown can create a strong dark boundary, while white or pearl makes a lighter adjoining layer. Yellow or green can form a closer tonal transition. Test the result at the intended lure thickness.

Does Fluo Chartreusse also glow in the dark or guarantee UV response?

Fluo identifies the fluorescent range, not phosphorescent afterglow. The available manufacturer information does not separately guarantee performance under a particular UV lamp. Choose Glow in the Dark when afterglow is required.
