Glow in the Dark powders and pigments absorb and store UV light. When these pigments are in a totally dark environment, they release this energy and become their own light source. Made from strontium aluminate, this high-grade phosphor slowly releases its energy, giving up to 10 hours of colourful glowing light!

In daylight conditions, Glow in the Dark pigment looks white/pale in colour. We have Sky Blue, Deep Purple, Aqua, Green colours available to purchase.

Glow in the dark products will show better against light or white background in comparison to a darker surface.

SFXC glow pigments are safe to use; but remember to use protective clothing and gloves when handling our powders. However, glow pigments are not suitable for cosmetic use. Use plastic, not metal equipment when mixing this pigment with other products.

When using Glow in the Dark pigments, in order to retain their bright colour, use a clear non- water based additive. Resins, binders and glue such as PVA will also work. Thick and viscous binders are preferable. Add a little of your chosen binder to the pigment you are using. A 10% pigment to 90% binder medium will work in most cases. Just like cooking, you can check the mixture is the way you want, before you add too much. As another consideration, ensure the medium has low acidity in order to preserve the glow properties of this product.

When using the pigment in paint or ink, remember to use a topcoat varnish or resin. This will help to protect your final product.

Applications for glow powder include paints and coatings, fashion or clothing, glow sticks, Halloween merchandise, costumes and accessories and art and craft projects.

As this product is self-sustaining, it’s a great way to reduce your carbon footprint while having fun at the same time. If glow in the dark pigments are used and stored correctly, they can be charged any number of times and will last almost indefinitely.
