SaBoFlex Fluo Green – Plastisol Liquid Colour

Product detailed description

SaBoFlex Fluo Green is a concentrated fluorescent pigment paste for colouring plastisol when making soft lures. It provides a vivid fluorescent green shade for whole lures, backs, bellies, tails and contrasting layers. 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 Green produces a vivid fluorescent 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 Chartreusse is a separately named yellow-green shade, Standard Green belongs to the non-fluorescent standard range, and Fluo Transparent Yellow/Green states a transparent character in its name. These products are not direct equivalents of Fluo Green. 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 Green across the whole lure or for a green back, belly, tail, stripe or compact strike point. It can be trialled in a laminate with black, smoke, brown, pearl, white, yellow or chartreuse. A suitable heat-resistant black, green, gold or holographic glitter can alter the contrast and flash. Add glitter after establishing the base shade and check every 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 Green 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 Green

How does Fluo Green differ from Fluo Chartreusse?

Fluo Green is a distinct green shade, whereas Fluo Chartreusse is separately named as a yellow-green colour. Compare both in cooled castings made with the same plastisol, dose and thickness.

Is Fluo Green the same as Standard Green or Fluo Transparent Yellow/Green?

No. Standard Green belongs to the non-fluorescent standard range. Fluo Transparent Yellow/Green is a separate product whose transparent character is stated in its name. Do not treat either as a direct replacement.

Should Fluo Green be added to cold or hot plastisol?

SAF recommends adding it gradually to plastisol that is already hot and clear. Mix thoroughly after each increment, then inspect a cooled drop or test casting before increasing the dose.

How can I avoid shifting the green towards blue or yellow?

Use a clean vessel and stirring tool with no pigment residue. First assess Fluo Green alone in cooled plastisol; if you then modify it, add the second colour in very small, recorded increments.

Which adjoining layers suit Fluo Green?

Black, smoke or brown can create a strong darker contrast, while white or pearl provides a lighter division. Yellow or chartreuse can make a closer transition. Verify the combination at the intended lure thickness.

Does Fluo Green 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. Select Glow in the Dark when afterglow is required.
