Description

If you are not sure which pigment you should choose for your application we encourage you to read a short manual "How to choose proper luminescent pigment". Also a lot of important informations can be found in FAQ. Both you can find on the bottom of our website.

Luminescent pigment aka glow in the dark powder is produced basing on strontium aluminate. This is new generation of this kind of pigments superior to older generation baed on sulphides. It isn't flammable, toxic nor radioactive. Also it's neutral to environment. However, strontium aluminate creates small, hard and rough crystals which may cause irrytation, because of this fact during work with raw luminescent pigment you should protect your eyes and airways. Glow in the dark powder absorbs both visible light and UV, unlike the older generation UV doesn't destroy it.

This pigment is waterproof so we can use it with any kind of base - no matter if it contains water or not. It's important to use medium which isn't strong acid or alkali – in such environment pigment may be destroyed.

Luminescent pigment L-ZZW700 has quite big particle size 100-120um. Surfaces painted with this pigment will be rough and it may be hard to get good coverage with one layer of paint. However one of the best glowing power of this pigment is a big advantage. Because of big particle size sedimentation may be a problem - especially if we will use low viscosity medium. Third photo shows pigments L-ZZ500, L-ZZ660 and L-ZZW700.

If you suppose that 100-120um particle size may be too big for your application then you should consider using waterproof luminescent pigment with fine particle size - M-ZZW450. Disadvantage of M-ZZW450 pigment is inferior glowing power to L-ZZW700 (but it's still strong glowing anyway).

Basic rules of using luminescent pigments:

  • Depending of used medium and anticipated result producer suggest to use 5% up to 30% of pigment by mass. It is mostly recommended to make some tests before starting main work with pigment – thanks to it we will determine the best proportions of mixing for our application.

  • Medium that we will use with luminescent pigment should be transparent as much as possible. Thanks to it pigment will get enough light to charge and its glowing will be not interrupted. It's possible (and sometimes even suggested) to mix some dye with medium to get interesting colour of product in daylight – but please remember to add only a bit of dye to keep medium transparent. Less transparent medium will cause weaker glowing – but very small addition of dye not harm glowing much.

    If we use thin layer of pigment (for example we use it as a paint) it's important to put it on bright surface – dark colour of surface can effectively decrfease gllowing power of pigment.

    In case of painting it may be also a good idea to make 2-3 layers instead of one thick.

  • This pigment is waterproof, nonetheless we should store it in dry place in temperature range -50 up to 60C to keep it in as good condition as possible.

Important pigment data:

  • After-glow time: 12 hours, but the best effect is visible during first 2-3 hours.

  • Temperature resistance: -40 up to 500C.

  • Lifespan: 15 years.

  • Waterproof: yes.

  • Average particle size: 100-120um (0,1-0,12mm)

  • Afterglow intensity under norm DIN67 510 ( mcd/m2) : 10s - 14540, 1min - 5347, 5min - 1451, 10min - 777, 30min - 242, 60min - 108, 120min - 46, 600min - 6.

  • Glowing colour: yellow-green.
