Glow in the Dark Powder White-White 40 g – White-Glowing Pigment

White-White is a very white powder in daylight and glows whitish with a slight blue tint in the dark. It is the right choice when the daylight colour should stay neutral, for example on white surfaces or in clear resin. However, the afterglow is short and clearly weaker than with green or blue-green.

Properties

• Material: strontium aluminate doped with europium and dysprosium, with a protective coating – making it water-resistant
• Colour: very white by day, whitish to slightly bluish in the dark
• Afterglow duration: up to 2 hours after a full charge in complete darkness; most intense in the first few minutes
• Particle size: approx. 20–30 µm (1 µm = one thousandth of a millimetre) – fine enough for brushes, varnish and casting resin
• Charging: with any light source, fastest with UV light or sun (a few minutes)
• Temperature: tinted pigment – max. 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, wallpaper 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 resin the pigment sinks: let the resin thicken briefly, then stir it in.
• You can also sprinkle the powder onto sticky surfaces such as glue, wax or wallpaper paste, or apply it in clear varnish with an airbrush.
• For outdoor use, use weather-resistant clear varnishes or epoxy.

Good to know

For technical reasons, white glows briefly and rather weakly. If a long glow matters more to you than a pure white daylight colour, choose green or blue-green with a whitish daylight colour. Afterglow is an aid for orientation and effects, not a light source: it becomes visible in real darkness and barely under a street lamp. Colours look different in photos depending on the camera and the charge. The raw pigment is not a toy. Avoid dust and contact with skin and eyes when processing larger quantities.
