Orange by day and orange in the dark: this tinted pigment based on strontium aluminate adds a warm accent of colour even in daylight. After charging, it has an orange afterglow – calmer and weaker than the signal colours green and blue. A true red is technically not possible with glow pigments; orange comes closest.

Properties

  • Material: strontium aluminate doped with europium and dysprosium, with a protective coating – which makes it water-resistant
  • Afterglow duration: up to 4 hours after full charging in complete darkness; strongest in the first few minutes
  • Colour: orange by day, orange in the dark
  • Particle size: approx. 20–30 µm (1 µm = one thousandth of a millimetre)
  • Charging: with any light source; as a darker shade, orange needs strong light, ideally sunlight or UV
  • Temperature: tinted pigment – do not use above approx. 150 °C
  • Classification: not classified as hazardous under CLP – see safety data sheet

How to use the glow powder

The pigment does not dissolve; it is stirred into a carrier: epoxy and casting resin, clear varnish, acrylic paint, glue, paste, wax or silicone. As a starting point we recommend approx. 20% pigment, relative to the carrier; in opaque carriers such as white wall paint, rather 30–50%. Test the mixture on a small sample first.

  • The more transparent and lighter the carrier, the stronger the glow. Prime dark surfaces in a light colour first.
  • In thin, runny resin the pigment sinks: let the resin thicken briefly, then stir it in.
  • Alternatively, sprinkle it onto adhesive or absorbent surfaces, or apply it in transparent varnish with an airbrush.
  • Outdoors, use weatherproof clear varnishes or epoxy; indoors, solvent-free carriers such as clear varnish or paste are suitable.

What's included

40 g glow powder orange in a poly bag.

Good to know

Tinted pigments glow weaker than green or blue – ideal as a colour and effect shade, not as a light source. The glow is only visible in real darkness. The raw pigment is not a toy. When working with larger quantities, avoid dust and contact with skin and eyes. Store dry and sealed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference from the glow powder orange based on calcium sulfide?
This powder is based on strontium aluminate, is not classified as hazardous under CLP and is water-resistant. The calcium sulfide orange is intended only for special applications, is labelled as a hazardous substance and must not be mixed with water. For most projects we recommend this orange.
Why does orange glow weaker than green?
Green is the base shade of all glow pigments. Orange is created by tinting, and the tint absorbs part of the light. Charge orange with sunlight or UV light and use a light surface.
Can I process orange with heat?
Only to a limited extent. Tinted pigments should not be used above approx. 150 °C, because the daylight colour can decompose.
How much glow powder do I need?
As a starting point, approx. 20% relative to the carrier – so about 20 g for 100 ml of varnish. In opaque carriers such as white wall paint, 30–50%. More pigment glows brighter, but above about 30% in clear carriers it adds little. 40 g is therefore enough for around 200 ml of clear carrier.
What charges the powder, and how long does it take?
Any light source. Guide values for full charging: UV light from 365 nm 2–4 minutes, sunlight 6–9 minutes, fluorescent lamp 20–24 minutes, incandescent bulb about 25 minutes. After that it glows most brightly and gradually becomes weaker.
