General Overview
White Glow in the Dark Powder glows a pure white color, while also being
white during the day.
It can be used in a
variety of mediums including plastic, paint, fiberglass, concrete, wax, and gel.
Brightness and Duration
White Glow in the Dark Powder's strength is in its white glow color, not its
brightness or duration, both of which are limited. It will glow for about
2 hours from a full charge.
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.
