How to Use

Mix PPSB-191LB into any clear medium — clear paint, clear epoxy resin, clear glue, clear wax, or any transparent vehicle — and you'll have a glowing material ready to apply. Follow these best practices to get the most out of your pigment:

• More powder = brighter, longer glow: A higher pigment ratio produces stronger luminescence. Start at 30% by weight and adjust between 10%–50% based on your application and process.
• Use a white or light-colored background: Any color other than white will reduce glow brightness. A white base layer reflects and amplifies the orange-red emission.
• Use the clearest vehicle possible: Any tint or pigment in your medium will decrease brightness and glow duration. The more transparent the base, the better the result.
• Apply thicker layers for stronger glow: A thicker coat produces longer and brighter afterglow — up to an optimal point for your application.
• Keep moisture out: Avoid moisture during mixing and manufacturing, as it can degrade the pigment's crystal structure.
• Avoid high-acidity vehicles: If an acidic medium is required, keep your pot life short to minimize degradation.
• Never grind the powder: Grinding permanently destroys the crystal structure and reduces luminosity. Use the powder as-is.

Recommended Mix Ratio

Mix 10% to 50% glow powder by weight into your clear medium. 30% is the ideal starting point for most applications — adjust up or down based on desired brightness, cost, and your specific manufacturing process.
