SaBoFlex Fluo Purple – Plastisol Liquid Colour

Product detailed description

SaBoFlex Fluo Purple is a concentrated fluorescent pigment paste for colouring plastisol when making soft lures. It provides a vivid fluorescent purple shade for whole lures, darker backs, colour laminates and high-visibility details. 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 Purple produces a vivid fluorescent purple 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 Purple is sold as a distinct shade; do not assume that mixing Fluo Pink and Fluo Blue will produce the same result. Transparent Purple is a separate colour from another product range, and its stated properties cannot be transferred to Fluo Purple. 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 Purple as the main body colour or for a purple back, side stripe, belly or smaller contrasting section. In a laminate, trial it against white, pearl, pink, blue, black or smoke. A suitable heat-resistant blue, pink, silver or holographic glitter can support the colour character, but add it only after establishing the base tone. Check every new combination 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 Purple 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 Purple

How does Fluo Purple differ from Transparent Purple?

Fluo Purple belongs to the fluorescent range. Transparent Purple is a separate colour whose transparent character is expressly stated in its name. Without a technical sheet, we do not assign Fluo Purple a precise opacity or transparency level.

Will mixing Fluo Pink and Fluo Blue produce the same purple?

Not necessarily. Fluo Purple is a distinct shade, while a mixture of two other concentrates may differ in tone, intensity and behaviour. If you experiment, use a small batch and record the exact ratio.

Should Fluo Purple 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 assess the intensity on a cooled sample. Stay within the working-temperature range specified for your plastisol.

How can I prevent an unwanted shift towards blue or pink?

Use a clean vessel and stirring tool without residue from other colours. Inspect Fluo Purple alone in cooled plastisol before adding any further pigments, and record each addition carefully.

Which layers can form a clear laminate with Fluo Purple?

White, pearl, black or smoke can create a strong contrast. Pink or blue can form a closer colour transition. Always test the combination at approximately the same thickness as the finished lure.

Does Fluo Purple 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. For afterglow once the light source is removed, choose a product expressly labelled Glow in the Dark.
