General Overview
Daytime Yellow Glow in the Dark Powder is a pigment that has both a vibrant
fluorescent pure yellow color in a lit room and a green-yellow glow in a
darkened room.
It can be used in a variety of mediums including plastic,
paint, fiberglass, concrete, wax, and gel.
Please note: Daytime colors are named after their color in a lit room,
not their glow color.
Brightness and Duration
Although not as bright as our Ultra line, our Daytime Yellow is fairly bright
in both daytime and in the dark. It continues to glow for about 3 hours
from a full charge.

*brightness is measured in mcd/m2, as reported by LS-100 instrument after a
10 minute charge from 1000lx.
Medium Compatibility
Earth Aluminate pigments are soluble in water and decompose in acid.
This means that they will loose some brightness when mixed into water-based
mediums. Acids will completely destroy their glow.
This still means they are great for solvent, oil, or wax based products.
They even can me mixed into molten glass or plastic. They can be used in
water-based mediums such as paint and concrete, but they will continue to loose
a small amount of brightness over time until the water fully evaporates.
Other color pigments in the medium will sometimes shield the glow pigments
preventing them from charging as fast or glowing as bright. Therefore, we
suggest clear mediums when possible.
Ultraviolet filters in mediums may block the ability for glow pigments to
charge. This can both increase charge time or lower brightness depending
on the quantity and quality of the ultraviolet filters. Most paint
manufacturers will have special order product SKUs for non-ultraviolet filter
versions of their paint.
Warning: Many customers try to create a "cheap glow in the dark paint"
by purchasing clear paint from a local source and the raw glow in the dark
pigment from Glow Inc. The majority of these customers end up frustrated.
If you need a paint, then we suggest that you either purchase our premixed
paints or follow the instructions in our how-to articles for specific projects.
Color
Daytime Yellow is an opaque fluorescent pure yellow in a lit room.
When glowing it is a green-yellow color also known as lime.
Daytime Color, Opacity, Transparency, and Translucence
The Daytime line of products are opaque when in a lit room and glow
brightly after a charge in a dark room. This means they will be easily
seen during the day and will most likely cover any paint or color underneath
them. For a more translucent color in a lit room,
consider our "Ultra" series.
Chemical Makeup
The raw glow pigment is: Alkaline Rare Earth Metal Silicate-Aluminate Oxide
