Our Glow In The Dark range are a special type of Photoluminescent pigment, derived from non-radioactive natural rare earth mineral crystals that possess the unique capacity to absorb and store energy from ambient light. In darkness, the crystals instantly begin to emit a luminous glow by releasing the stored light energy. Natural rare earth mineral crystals are the primary components that energise our Glow Pigments. Due to the utilisation of Alkaline Earth Aluminate, a relatively new technology, we offer the brightest and longest lasting phosphorescent Pigments.
These Pigments will mix with any clear on the market, however, simply mixing with water will not work.
All our pigments are tried and tested, rest assured we produce or source the highest grade pigments on the market. Unlike many other powders, our Glow In The Dark range of pigments are specially coated/encapsulated and are of a large particle size, so will not dissolve into your chosen mixing medium (can be used with any oil or solvent based clear medium on the market)
Our Glow in The Dark Pigments can be charged indefinitely!!

Mixing
Our Glow In The Dark Powders are encapsulated and will mix into a suitable water or solvent based clear medium or varnish.
It is best to experiment with small amounts of powder first to achieve your desired thickness/consistency which will vary depending on the type of project you are carrying out.
Please also note that the type of clear liquid or medium used will have different end results.
Use 20-45% powder to 100% clear liquid/medium
USE OVER A WHITE BASE FOR BEST GLOW EFFECT
NOTE: USE MORE POWDER FOR A STRONGER GLOW, ALWAYS TEST ON A SMALL AREA FIRST BEFORE STARTING YOUR MAIN PROJECT TO ACHIEVE YOUR DESIRED END GLOW RESULTS
