A study was conducted on the development of filler compositions based on heat-treated phosphogypsum for the production of paints and varnishes with luminescent ability. In the course of the study, it was revealed that the reduced phosphogypsum, which exhibits the properties of an ultraviolet pigment, can be used to produce paints and varnishes based on colorless varnish XB-784. When using a colorless varnish and synthesized ultraviolet pigment, paint and varnish materials can be obtained that form almost transparent coatings and have a luminescent ability. The introduction of unreconstructed phosphogypsum as a filler increases the covering capacity of paint coatings. Non-reduced heat-treated phosphogypsum as a filler does not give a luminescent glow under the influence of UV irradiation, however, it increases the hiding power of the material and enhances the luminescent ability of the UV pigment.
