Daylight fluorescent pigments (DFPs) have up to now found wide uses in warning and safety applications, while more recently the packaging industry has turned to DFPs, as brands are looking for new ways to make their products stand out on the shelf. However, solvent-resistant, strongly fluorescent pigments have so far been only available on the basis of formaldehyde-containing polymers. Due to novel technologies the possibility of a formaldehyde-free production of fluorescent pigments is now realistic, and eliminating formaldehyde in DFPs is no longer combined with compromises. The new technologie described and discussed in the present paper excel in all their attributes compared with their formaldehyde-containing predecessors. In future, a similar technology will also allow the use of fluorescent pigments in cosmetic products. These hybrid resins will be combined with already well-established cosmetic dyes, e. g. D&C Yellow 8, D&C Red 28, D&C Red 21, D&C Violet 2 and others, and all available Lake-versions of these dyes.
