Inorganic Chemistry II
Lightfastness refers to the resistance of a pigment or dye to fading when exposed to light, especially ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This property is crucial for inorganic pigments and dyes used in various applications, including art, coatings, and textiles, as it determines their longevity and color stability under light exposure. The higher the lightfastness rating of a material, the less likely it is to degrade or change color over time.
congrats on reading the definition of lightfastness. now let's actually learn it.
