Frequently Asked Question

General Introduction

It obsorbs all kinds of visible light such as sunlight, lamp light or UV light, store in the particles, and release the brightness when coming to dark environment. It can glow again after recharging.

No. The process of absorbing and releasing light is a physical change, so in theory, it can be used permenantly.

After fully charging, it can glow 8-12 hours in totally dark laboratory room. But if using the area with light surroudings or outside, the glowing duration will be much shorter by the feeling of naked eyes. Since everyone’s visual perception varies, it is recommended to observe the effect in the actual setting.

No, it will attenuate along time goes by.

Yes, it is non-toxic, non radiation, and eco-friendly. It has passed the European SVHC test.

It can be mixed with all transparent and colorless medium with PH 6-8, such as pintar, tinta, plástico, glass, ceramic, rubber, silicon etc. It is granular powder, cannot melt in liquid medium. There are different powder types suitable for different applications.

With a appropriate storing condition, the powder’s lifespan is at least 15-20 years. After mixing with medium, the mixture’s lifespan is decided by the medium. For example, if transparent paint getting

No MOQ, you can order any quantity you want. After confirming the powder type, we will quote and issue PI (PROFORMA INVOICE), and arrange the delivery after getting the payment.

< 20kg, package will be heat-sealed bag in carton. > 20kg, package will be in double layer plastic bag in iron bucket. Samples are shipped via express delivery, while bulk orders are shipped by sea, air or railway.

For Paint

É necessária uma tinta transparente e incolor com PH 5-8. Qualquer cor sólida cobrirá a luminância.

Sim, temos pó à prova d'água disponível para tinta à base de água.

Misturar a tinta transparente e o pó brilhante fisicamente de acordo com as proporções especificadas com aditivos (como espessante, dispersante, agente antifixação), se necessário.

Veja este vídeo: How to Mix.

É sugerido 15-40% por peso.

NÃO use recipiente de ferro e grude para misturar. Plastic, ceramic and glass is suggested

Better to applying the glowing paint soon after mixing, to avoid powder settlement.

Glow-in-the-dark paint, when used indoors, can glow for 8-12 hours after being fully charged. When applied outdoors, the afterglow duration can be affected by various factors, such as ambient brightness.

For Plastic

Transparent and colorless plastic will be the best. Semi-transparent is also workable, but the glowing effect will be somewhat covered. The common material mixing with glowing powder include PP, PE, PET, ABS, PLA, PS, Nylon, Sarin etc.

In final plastic products, 10%-15% is the maximum dosage of glow in the dark powders. Adding more than this can easily lead to blackening.

We have dyed multi-colors powder available, but for plastic, it’s better to using nature colors, and dye them during injection or extrusion process. Directly using dyed glow powder for plastic is easily to bring dispersion problem.

No. There is limitation of colors using for glowing products. Normally the lighter, the more transparent, the better glow effect. Clients needs to adjust colors in their injection or extrusion process.

Yes, we supply it.

For Ink

Todas as tintas transparentes e incolores com PH5-8 podem ser usadas, incluindo tintas à base de UV, à base de solvente e à base de água. Qualquer cor sólida cobrirá a luminescência.

Serigrafia, rotogravura e impressão flexográfica são normalmente utilizadas, mas elas exigem diferentes tamanhos de partículas do pigmento brilhante.

É sugerido 15-40% por peso.

Temos 16 cores diferentes disponíveis, mas elas têm personagens diferentes. Entre em contato conosco para fornecer a aplicação. Faremos recomendações.

For Glass & Ceramic

Não há uma temperatura exata como uma "limitação" ao usar em vidro ou cerâmica. Os fatores que afetam o efeito de brilho final incluem o tamanho do forno, designs de produtos, tempo de aquecimento, etc. Você pode nos pedir detalhes.

É necessário um esmalte transparente. Cerâmica colorida cobrirá o brilho brilhante.

Do NOT using iron container and stick to mix. Sugere-se plástico, cerâmica e vidro.

Para manter o melhor efeito brilhante, quanto menor a temperatura, melhor, e quanto menor o tempo de aquecimento, melhor.

For Rubber & Silicon

É necessária uma borracha transparente ou silicone. Os coloridos cobrirão o brilho brilhante.

Sim, não há problema. O pó que brilha no escuro não terá nenhuma alteração durante o processo de vulcanização.

A dosagem experiente varia de alguns milésimos a dezenas de por cento, dependendo dos diferentes produtos. Está relacionada com designs de produtos, requisitos de brilho brilhante, orçamentos, etc. Você pode nos pedir detalhes.

Temos 16 cores diferentes disponíveis. Mas para obter o melhor efeito brilhante, entre em contato conosco para discutir os detalhes do produto. Podemos dar sugestões de pegar pigmento colorido tingido diretamente de nós, ou fazer o tingimento do seu lado.

GlowUp® Paint

GlowUp® paint is making by acrylic water-based paint and glow in the dark pigment.

When the paint is exposed to a light source, the strontium aluminate material absorbs and stores light energy. When the light source is removed, this stored energy is released as visible light, causing the paint to glow in the dark. Strontium aluminate provides bright and long-lasting illumination.

Under sealed conditions, GlowUp® Paint can be stored for at least 2 years. Once opened, it is better to use it soon to ensure the best glow effect. When applied on ground, the friction from vehicles, pedestrians, and other factors will shorten the paint’s lifespan to 3-5 years. However, when applied to walls and kept free from physical damage, the paint can maintain a longer time.

Single glow layer (25℃ for example): Touch Dry ≤ 2 hours. Two layers needed. 24 hours will be totally dry.

  • Clean and repair the surface.
  • Apply white primer.
  • Mix glow paint and hardener, apply the 1st layer, and let it dry for 1-2 hours.
  • Apply the 2nd layer and let it dry for 1-2 hours.
  • Optional: Apply a thin layer of transparent topcoat.
