The Secrets of Glow In The Dark Technology

With the development of technology, there are great varieties of exciting toys. The batteries glow toys, the ones that rechargeable, and there are fancy ones who don’t need batteries or charging; in fact, they are made of  glow in the dark powder . However, most people now have some misunderstandings or concerns about luminous products, such as luminous toys, crafts, etc. People commonly think chemical products must contain heavy metals or toxic; how can it glow? Do they have radiation and other issues? Today I will explain the above concerns. THE NEW GENERATION OF GLOW IN THE DARK POWDER DOESN’T HAVE RADIATION. It can “absorb” and “store” light energy, and emit light in the dark environment. The process of “absorb, store or emit” light is physical rather than chemical. Because radioactive materials generally do not absorb and store light before they are released, and those radioactive materials are costly. Early luminous materials were radioactive  Thorium  and...

Many factors can affect the glow effect of glow in the dark paint. Many people often ask us to put the luminous powder directly into their lacquer, will their lacquer be able to glow the same as our glow in the dark paint and can start construction instantly? However, glow in the dark paint is not so simple to make; we studied the viscosity for a long time to reach that balance. Also, people sometimes confused with reflective paint, luminous paint, and fluorescent paint. To determine whether it is a suitable product for you, we will introduce the differences between them one by one. This is a very professional question, and it is a problem that we need to explain repeatedly many times, which wastes both parties’ time and reduces work efficiency.  Therefore, today I will introduce the difference of three special effect paints–reflective paint, luminous paint, and fluorescent paint, as well as those questions that everyone is curious about glow in the dark paint, why it doesn’t gl...

Many of our clients reported to us that when they were trying to add lumous powder in the injection molding production, the plastic products produced became black or dark brown color. Today we will talk about the reasons why this happens and how to avoid this phenomenon. In the injection molding process, the luminous powder mainly rubs against the metal in the cavity so that the metal chips are mixed into the plastic product, which causes the plastic products to become black. THERE USUALLY ARE 2 MAIN REASONS FOR INJECTION BLACKING HAPPENS: 1. The proportion of powder is too high：normally should be below 20%. 2. The particle size of the glow in the dark powder is too big: we recommend to use glow in the dark powder particle size of 250 mesh for injection mold as per our experience. FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW TO REDUCE THE CHANCE OF HAVING INJECTION BLACKENED PRODUCTS. PRECAUTIONS FOR LUMINOUS POWDER INJECTION 1. When mixing luminous powder and plastic, it is best to use manua...

Glow in the dark pigment currently on the market is mainly divided into two categories:  Strontium Aluminate  powders and short-acting luminous powders with  Zinc Sulfide . GLOW TECHNOLOGY GLOW IN THE DARK PIGMENT Glow Technology glow in the dark pigment belongs to the former. It has powerful light absorption, light storage, and luminescence. It is a light-excited and light-storing luminescent powdery crystals, after being irradiated by natural light, daylight light, ultraviolet light, etc. And then slowly releases it in a fluorescent manner after stopping light irradiation. So at night or in a dark place, we can still see the light, lasting for several hours to ten hours. THE SHORT-ACTING LUMINESCENT POWDER The short-acting luminescent powder containing zinc sulfide has a name called “come fast, go fast.”The so-called “come fast” means that the light absorption time is short and sensitive to the light source. And it quickly shows the luminous effect: “go fast...

Slime, a fictional creature often found in video games and fantasy novels, Its popular images are jelly or semi-liquid, opaque or translucent objects, monsters that can change shape and can be split or merged. However here we mean a kind of toy mucus. We will teach you how to make a glowing slime in 5 minutes. The necessary material is the glow powder, please refer to the link. Glow Technology glow powder is multiple colors and full range. There are many ways. I will briefly introduce several methods to make glowing slime. Ⅰ. Material: Glue, borax water, clear water, glycerin,glow powder. Glue, add water, mix with glycerol, stir, add borax water and glow powder, a small amount, and multiple times, stir and shape. Ⅱ. Material: Glue, water, glycerin, soapy water, glow powder. Add glue to water, add glycerin, stir, add soapy water and glow powder, stir and shape. Ⅲ. Material: Glue, laundry detergent, water, detergent, borax water, glow powder. Add water to glue, after ...
