nonfluorescent
Lacking luminous emission
Nonfluorescent describes materials or substances that do not emit light when exposed to ultraviolet or other radiation.
The term appears in technical contexts distinguishing materials by their optical properties: nonfluorescent lighting, nonfluorescent dyes.
A nonfluorescent surface absorbs light without the characteristic glow of its fluorescent counterpart.
