PRODUCT SUMMARY:
HOW TO USE GLOW IN THE DARK POWDER
Short : Mix with gel, acrylic powder, nail varnish or brush in tacky layer of white gel polish.
Guidelines:
1. The more powder or
higher the percentage used, the brighter and longer the glow will last.
2. Add Medium to powder,
not powder to medium. That way you can stop when desired glow effect is
reached.
3. Use a white, or light
color as a background for best results. Any color other than white will
diminish glow.
4. If painting a black
surface with powders, brilliance will be much less.
5. Use the clearest
vehicle possible. Any color in the vehicle will decrease the brightness and
length of glow.
6. The thicker (to a
point) the layer of Glow Powder will produce longer and brighter luminosity.
7. Try to prevent
moisture in the manufacturing process. A yellowing of resin may indicate
moisture.
8. Do not use vehicle
with high acidity.
9. Do not grind the Glow
Powder, it will destroy the crystal structure and therefore decrease
luminosity.
10.
Ratio of Glow Powder to medium is from 5% to 40% by weight depending on
application and manufacture process.
11.
Work with a black light on so you can see your work as you create it.
12.
To minimize settling, use a viscous vehicle or anti-settling agents.
Stir well prior to application, process small batches at a time.
13.
Apply a final clear overcoat to protect the material from humidity and
to improve gross.
14.
Stronitum based pigments should only be mixed into oil/solvent bases. If
your project requires a water based medium, then you need to purchase one of
our pigments that are treated for water protection.
A glass or plastic spatula should be used when stirring the powder and
printing ink. A metal implement may react with powder.
Choosing a Paint:
How to Mix Paint and Glow Powder:
It is best to add paint to powder, and not the other way around. This
way you can stop when desire glow effect is achieved. We recommend starting at
10%, and may go as high as 50% (pigment by weight). Powders do not dissolve in
medium, but will suspend in it. They must be mixed well before use.
*Use anti-settling agents if working with large quantities
Painting
Apply to a white or light background for best effect. A dark or black
background will reduce glow.
Several layers will increase glow intensity.The thicker (to a point) the
layer of Glow Powder will produce longer and brighter luminosity.
Our glow products have a shelf life of 10 years. This means that it can
be re-charged by exposure to light over and over again. They will last longer
indoors(5-7yr) than outdoors(3-5yr).
You can increase the lifespan of the product, by applying additional
protection, on the glow surfaces. We recommend applying a clear acrylic overcoat
to protect powders from moisture and the environment. (Gloss Epoxy Protector)
How Much Glow Powder to add:
For smaller amounts add 1/2oz powder to 1oz paint. ADD Paint to powder
and not the other way around! You can make stencils simply by cutting out
shapes from paper or cardboard. Apply with a small brush, roller, airbrush,
cotton swab on stick or sponge.
(1oz=28gm)
To improve the glow effect, apply a white base coat under the
photoluminescence layer. If the paint is clear, you will obtain a brighter
glow. Kids will have fun helping and everyone will enjoy the magic of turning
out the lights once the paint dries.
Gel Candles:
The powder is an opaque pigment that does not actually dissolve in
candle gel, but rather is suspended. Mixing powder with candle gel (we
recommend penreco MD or HD) creates a white opaque looking material. You cannot
see through it. One method that we have used for this material is to pour a
bottom layer of a powder/gel mix with a clear gel over pour. We have had the
most success with a bottom layer, which is about 1/5 to 1/8, the depth of the
candle.
The powder/gel mixture then provides bottom light, which glows through
the clear gel. A very clear gel does not pick up the light. Objects or bubbles
suspended in the gel reflect the light emitted by the Glow Powder and will be
seen as suspended in midair. (So make lots of bubbles when you pour clear over
it!) The way the Glow Powder is used is up to the artist's imagination! You can
also make the entire candle with the glow powder/gel mix! It is all up to you!
A starting point is to make a 5% stock. 5 parts of Glow Powder mixed
with 95 parts of melted gel. This is not a critical mix. Variations of this mix
can be used depending on the effects you want to achieve. Get the temperature
of the gel in the 200-210 F range. Fragrance Gel is done at much lower
temperatures (140 F). Add the powder and mix well, Make sure that all the
material is dispersed well in the solution and none remains on the bottom.
Always mix well just before you pour. This stock solution can be reheated. Try
to keep the same container for your stock solution and reheat and add your new
material to it.
Glow Embeds:
Pour your gel/powder mix into a pan. Let cool, & using cookie
cutters cut out pieces, or pour gel into moulds. Stick the "glowing"
gel pieces to the sides of candle dish, then pour clear gel over. They will
appear suspended within gel!!
Paraffin, Cream Crystalline, and other wax candles
Make or purchase a paraffin candle. Melt candle wax, and following usage
amounts, add glow powder. Make sure you mix well before dipping candles,
because powder will settle. Dip your candle in 2 or 3 times, drying between
each dip. You only need to do this for the last layers of wax to save on cost.
Hidden Pictures:
Paint a mural on your wall, then with the Clear Glow in the Dark paint
you make, add in hidden pictures that will only show when room is dark!
Plastics:
May be mixed with PE, PP, ABS, PVC ect... Can be extruded, cast, dipped,
coated injected and blown moulded. If you are considering using our pigments in
a manufacturing process for plastics, rubbers, resins, PVC etc. you will
require our master batch pellets.
Tackle and Rods:
Glow powder is used in a wide range of applications like production of
glow in the dark clear coats for your lures. Simply add a small amount of glow
pigment to your clear coat or vinyl and stir. Another method is to use a strong
adhesive and coat the lure, then spray a clear topcoat to protect powder.Yes
you can add it to POWDER PAINTS! Can withstand temps up to 500 degree F. If you
want to add it directly to silicon lures, just add it to silicon when it is in
the liquid state, then pour into moulds. Powder does tend to settle so you may
want to add a anti-settling agent. Test and add more pigment as required. The
more pigment added the brighter the glow. It can also be added to a rod
wrapping epoxy.
Acrylic Nails:
Add a small amount of powder to your acrylic powder or gel system. Can
be mixed ahead of time and stored as well. Can also be added to clear top coat
for a more temporary effect. Use violet, green, blue or aqua and it will be
invisible in the day and Glow amazingly at night! (5gm will do 10-15 sets)
Dusting Technique (achieves the greatest glow effect)
Mask off area you wish to paint. Spray a coat of clear spray paint onto
the surface. Dust powder on top of the area and shake the surface until the
painted area is completely coated in powder. Pour off excess back into
container for reuse. Dry completely (1-2 hr). Repeat steps 2 & 3 until you
have reached the desired glow effect. Paint a final coat of clear over the
powder for protection.
Notes: It takes very little paint on each layer to make this work. If
you see the powder turning to a liquid paint, then you are using way to much
paint.
Identification Marks:
Use glow powder to mark items to protect from theft (example: tools).
Then use a black light to show your identification mark!
Silk Screening:
In order to get a better luminosity effect of the printed patterns; use
silk screen of below 200 meshes for screen-printing. The reason is that the
layer of the printing ink will be thicker and will obtain a better luminous
effect by using silk screen of a lower mesh number. The ideal screen is of
80~120 meshes.
1. To heighten the
lightness and prolong the luminous period of the printed pattern, please place
a lining in white colour under the layer of printing ink, or, print directly
onto the white colour base material.
2. To get the ideal
lightness of the luminous printed patterns, the minimum thickness of the layer
of printing ink should not be less than 100µm(micron). When the thickness
ranges between 130 to 150µm, the lightness will be the greatest. (To achieve
this, print the ink twice on 80-mesh silk screen.)
3. Overlap-printing will
obtain a more distinctive printed pattern.
