Risk Reactor's PPSB-19 Orange Red Glow Pigment. |
Product
Description:
Risk
Reactor's PPSB-19 Orange Red Glow in the Dark pigment was
developed to go into oil based mediums. Phosphorescent pigment
is the basic building block for material that glows in
the dark. It works by absorbing ambient light and then re-emitting
it in the visible spectrum. This process can be repeated an
infinite amount of times. The color visible in regular light is
an off white and it will glow a vibrant Orange Red in the dark. You
can mix this pigment into any clear medium such as glue, paint, caukling,
wax, clay, gel candles, liquid nails, silicone, urethane, you
name it. This pigment is best used right after mixing, most water
based mediums seem to gel with this pigment over a period of
time.

Glow Time Chart Measured
in mcd/m2
The afterglow brightness is
measured under D65 standard light source excited by 1000 lux for 10
minutes. The excitation wavelength is 253.7 nm. The instrument to
determine brightness LS-100. As a general rule, the larger the
particle size the greater and longer the glow. The threshold of the
human eye to detect light is .32 mcd/m2 with a dark adapted
eye.

How to Use
This product is
easy to work with. Simply mix it with a clear medium such as clear
paint, clear glue, clear wax, etc. and you will have a glowing
material! Follow the guidelines below to ensure you maximize the
glowing effectiveness of our products.
-
More powder, higher percentage will produce
brighter, longer glow.
-
Use a white, or light color as a background
for best results. Any color other than white will diminish
glow.
-
Use the clearest vehicle possible. Any
pigment in the vehicle will decrease the brightness and length of
glow.
-
The thicker (to a point) the layer of Glow
Powder will produce longer and brighter luminosity.
-
Try to prevent moisture in the
manufacturing process.
-
Do not use vehicle with high
acidity.
-
Do not grind the Glow in the Dark Pigment, it will
destroy the crystal structure and therefore decrease
luminosity.
-
The larger the particle size of the Glow in the
Dark Pigmentthe greater the glow.
-
Ratio of Glow in the Dark Pigment to medium is from 10%
to 50% by weight depending on application and manufacture process.
Best to start with 30% and move and down depending on cost,
manufacturing process, and other factors that are unique to your
application.
