Glow in the Dark Powder Pink/Rose-Red 40 g – Coloured Glow Pigment

Pink/rose-red combines a vivid pink daylight colour with a rose-red afterglow in the dark. This makes the design stand out in daylight and keeps it visible in the dark after charging. A true red is technically not possible with glow pigments – the glow looks pink to reddish.

Properties

• Material: strontium aluminate doped with europium and dysprosium, with a protective coating – which makes it water-resistant
• Colour: vivid pink by day, rose-red in the dark
• Afterglow duration: up to 2 hours after full charging in complete darkness; at its strongest in the first few minutes
• Particle size: approx. 20–30 µm (1 µm = one thousandth of a millimetre)
• Charging: with any light source, fastest with UV light or sunlight (a few minutes)
• Heat: dyed pigment – do not process 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 slightly, then stir it in.
• You can also sprinkle the powder onto sticky surfaces such as glue, wax or paste, or apply it in clear varnish by airbrush.
• For outdoor use, choose weatherproof clear varnishes or epoxy.

Good to know

For technical reasons, dyed shades glow more weakly and for a shorter time than green or blue-green with a whitish daylight colour. In return, the powder shows a strong colour by day. Afterglow is an aid to orientation and a visual effect, not a light source: it becomes visible in real darkness, hardly under a street lamp. Colours look different in photos depending on the camera and the charging. The raw pigment is not a toy. When working with larger quantities, avoid dust and contact with skin and eyes.
