The Secrets of Glow In The Dark Technology

  The colorful self-glow landscape pavement absorbs sunlight to store energy during the day. It emits a starry glow at night, a dreamy and magical star road! The glow in the dark pathway can be made by luminous paint and luminous stone. Luminous paint is a special paint compounded by special technical treatment of glow in the dark powder combined with highly transparent resin material. Glow pavement coatings for the road field are mainly used in the high-luminance glow in the dark pavement. The road must be polished to a smooth surface; otherwise, the consumption of the glow paint will be more, and the cost is too high. It can also be used to make luminous markings, road signs, logos, and various patterns, showing a beautiful landscape effect. GLOW IN THE DARK STONE : Luminous stone is made of glow in the dark pigment and synthetic glass to mix with the concrete. It is an incredible paving material that can dissipate absorbed ultraviolet energy in the form of light. Luminous stone ...

  Luminous ink is a light-storing self-luminous ink formulated with luminous powder. The application range is extensive, such as the printing of luminous signs, the printing of luminous film, the printing of luminous tape, etc. So the question is, how to choose the right ink and luminous powder to make luminous ink？It depends on the specific application. Today I will give you a detailed answer to this question. HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT INK? A. Luminous powder added in transparent ink has the best glowing effect. Colored ink can also be used with luminous powder. Still, the glowing effect is far inferior to the brightness of transparent ink. B. Different printing materials should use corresponding inks. Such as special metal inks for metal materials, and ABS special inks for ABS plastic materials, as to ensure that the luminous ink sticks firmly. HOW TO SELECT THE RIGHT  GLOW IN THE DARK POWDER  ? The choice of luminous powder is based on the actual application of the custo...

If you want to know how long glow in the dark paint can last for glowing, first of all, we need to find out why luminous paint can glow in the dark? HOW DOES LUMINOUS PAINT GLOW ? Luminous paint contains a certain energy-storage luminescent material-glow in the dark powder, which itself has specific properties of light-storage and luminescence. It can store light energy under light and emit the stored light energy in a dark environment to produce a glowing effect. HOW LONG CAN THE BRIGHTNESS OF  LUMINOUS PAINT  LAST? Due to the characteristics of the luminous powder itself, there are particular prerequisites for the luminescent paint to glow. First, it must be charged by light and only emit a glow in a darker environment. The shiny time of glow in the dark paint depends on the following factors: ① The luminous duration of the glow in the paint depends on the brightness level of the glowing powder used in the luminous paint. The higher the brightness level, the l...

Many of our clients often ask if the glow in the dark powder is toxic or radiant. Is it harmful to your health after long time contact? Is it safe to be used in the resins, printings, paints, etc? To answer this question, first, we need to clarify which type of glow powder you are talking about. There are different kinds of luminous powder, strontium aluminate long afterglow luminous powder, zinc sulfide short-acting luminous powder, and some self-glow luminous powder. Among these glow powders, the strontium aluminate long afterglow luminous powder is the safest and most environmentally friendly one. GLOW TECHNOLOGY” S NON-TOXIC GLOW IN THE DARK POWDER Strontium aluminate Luminous powder refers to the materials that can continuously glow for a period of over 12 hours after being irradiated by a light source such as sunlight and long-wave ultraviolet light for a short period of time. Our luminous powder containing no phosphorus or lead, or any hazardous element or chemical, can...

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...
