| A unique phosphorescent material that after activation by a light source is characterized by very high initial brightness and long low after-glow visible to the dark-adapted eye for many hours. Powder is made of strontium aluminate, a rare earth metal.
As with other pigments, Glow Pigment can be mixed into liquid mediums (oil, acrylic, or water based). The main characteristic of the medium is that it needs to dry transparent so that the pigment is allowed to fully absorb light. The manufacturer recommends 30% pigment to 70% vehicle (medium) for full strength glow. You can apply the pigment in any fashion that you would apply the medium you are mixing it into; brush, sponge, silk screen, extruder, etc. A pound is about a cup of pigment and that will produce about 2 1/2 cups of full strength paint. Not recommended for dry use. Use respiratory protection when handling dry powder. |
