GLO Effex Super Phosphorescent glow in the dark pigment is a rechargeable luminous product made out of alkaline earth strontium aluminate activated by rare earth ions. These charge by light and emit an afterglow for hours without the need of any UV lighting. Use to create dramatic lighting effects with any project. The Pigment can be mixed in glue, plastics, paint, ink, coating, ceramics, glass, plastisol, enamel, acrylic, ice, clay, rubber, silicone, wax, magnifying oil etc. These are the latest generation pigments and are non-toxic and non-radioactive. The basic structure of the particle is crystalline, which has a tremendous capacity of absorbing, storing, and emitting light. The crystals absorb any ambient light, including regular indoor light. This provides incredible potential in safety, novelty, and industrial applications. Basic Guidelines For Using the Super Phosphorescent Pigment. More powder, higher percentage will produce brighter, longer glow. Use a white, or light color as a background for best results. Any color other than white will diminish glow. Use the clearest vehicle possible. Any pigment in the vehicle will decrease the brightness and length of glow. The thicker (to a point) the layer of Super Phosphorescent Pigment will produce longer and brighter luminosity. Ratio of Pigment to medium is from 10% to 50% by weight depending on application. Experimentation will be the best method of determining ratios after following the guidelines. What can I do with it? You can do almost anything with it. You can mix it into a plethora of mediums such as wax, paint, caulking, ceramic glaze, plastics, glue etc. It has numerous industrial applications for safety and fun for home use in arts and crafts. Clients are using it in everything from candles, printing, shirts, and of course paint.
