This lets them pass through fine screen-printing meshes and airbrush nozzles, and they can be used for watch hands, watercolour or 3D printing with DLP\/SLA. The downside: the finer the particle size, the weaker the glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProperties\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e strontium aluminate doped with europium and dysprosium, with a protective coating – which makes it water-resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParticle size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–15 µm – for comparison: our standard pigments in natural shades are approx. 70–85 µm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Terracotta – brownish by day, glows green.

As a starting point we recommend \u003cstrong\u003eapprox. 20% pigment relative to the carrier\u003c\/strong\u003e. Test the mixture on a small sample first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScreen printing:\u003c\/strong\u003e stir into transparent screen-printing ink. Rule of thumb: the pigment size should be no more than approx. one fifth of the mesh opening. We recommend meshes from 32T to 80T (80T: mesh opening 78 µm, printable up to approx. 16 µm).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAirbrush:\u003c\/strong\u003e in transparent varnish, apply in several thin coats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatch hands and fine markings:\u003c\/strong\u003e apply two coats; the glow is slightly weaker than with coarser pigment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlastics and 3D printing:\u003c\/strong\u003e the pigment is hard and abrasive – nozzles and tools wear faster.

Tinted shades glow more weakly than the natural shades; a true red is technically not possible. Afterglow is an aid for orientation and effects, not lighting: it is visible in real darkness, barely under a street lamp. Colours look different in photos depending on the camera and charge. The raw pigment is not a toy. When processing larger quantities, avoid dust and contact with skin and eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"lumentics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60232670773632,"sku":"pigment-terracotta-green-100g-15um","price":24.89,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/8554\/8672\/files\/feinpigment-terracotta-5-15um-100g_d8e3ac07-3daa-4291-a263-cf31b031e8a8.jpg?v=1793116588","url":"https:\/\/lumentics.com\/products\/feinpigment-terracotta-5-15um-100g","provider":"lumentics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
