PPSB-031OZ Invisible Orange Glow in the Dark Pigment by the ounce

PPSB-031OZ Risk Reactor's Invisible Orange Glow in the Dark pigment powder was developed to go into oil or water 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 in the dark. This "change" of color is why we refer to it as invisible. 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.

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. 

If you use more powder, it will illuminate more for a longer time.  This does not mean it will make a darker color.  The color of the paint will be what the color of the pigment is.
When painting, it is best to paint onto a white surface, other colors will take away from the radiance of the color.
If you are not going to use Risk Reactor’s base, stick to the sheerest base you can find.  It needs to be as clear as possible, other color takes away from the luminosity of Risk Reactor’s pigments.
Some applications may need thick coats, test somewhere small to see how thick you should lay on the paint.  The depth of the paint layers can add to brightness.
Make sure you are working in a clean, dry area.  Risk Reactor pigments need to stay dry until they are put into the paint base.
If you are going to use your own base, it should be low in acid.
The best way to mix in pigment is to find a tool that will quickly stir, never crush the pigment.  This will destroy your glow.
Bigger pigment particles glow brighter.
The amount of pigment that will be needed to create your paint will depend on your base.  Remember that testing in small amounts is the best way to determine how you want your paint to be.
