Glow Granules Green 1 mm, 100 g – Phosphorescent

Fine glow granules for stirring into casting resin, varnish or glue and for sprinkling. They absorb light and release it in the dark as a green glow – without electricity and as often as you like. Green is the base shade of glow pigments and glows longest and most intensely. By day the grain is whitish and barely noticeable in clear resin.

Properties

• Material: strontium aluminate doped with europium and dysprosium
• Grain size: fine, approx. 0.5–1 mm
• Afterglow duration: up to 12 hours after a full charge in complete darkness; most intense in the first few minutes
• Colour: whitish with a slight green tint by day, green to yellow-green in the dark
• Temperature: heat-resistant up to 1,200 °C
• Classification: not classified as hazardous under CLP – see safety data sheet

How to use the glow granules

The granules are worked into a carrier or sprinkled loose: epoxy and casting resin, resin, clear varnish, glue, grout, wax or silicone. Typical uses are river tables, resin jewellery and coasters, mould making and decoration.

• Casting resin: In thin resin the grains sink. Let the resin thicken briefly, then stir them in and distribute quickly – or add the granules only to the top layer.
• Sprinkling: sprinkle onto still-wet varnish, glue or resin and press in lightly; then protect smooth surfaces with clear varnish.
• Concrete, paving, joints: press into the still-wet surface and sand flush after curing – or embed in a transparent, walk-on layer.
• Outdoors: use solvent-based, weather-resistant carriers such as epoxy or exterior clear varnish.
• The clearer and lighter the carrier, the stronger the glow. Prime dark surfaces in a light colour first.

Good to know

Afterglow is an aid for orientation and effects, not a light source: it becomes visible in real darkness and barely under a street lamp. The 1 mm granules are not waterproof: in water they dissolve more or less over time and the glow effect is lost. For use in or near water, embed the grains in resin or a water-resistant clear varnish – or use the 4 mm granules, in which the pigment is bound in synthetic resin. The granules are a material, not a toy.
