Glow in the dark products have always captured our imagination, offering a blend of intrigue and functionality. As the night takes over, there’s a unique charm in watching certain objects spring to life, glowing magically. A key component that powers this luminescence is the ‘glow in the dark pigment’. So, what makes this pigment so special, and how long does its glow truly last?
Understanding Glow in the Dark Pigment
First and foremost, what exactly is this pigment? Known to some as ‘photoluminescent powder’, the glow in the dark pigment is a type of photoluminescent material. It’s widely used in various products, from paints and inks to resins and prints. Essentially, there are two primary types: long-lasting and the zinc sulfide powder. The long-lasting version, made from strontium aluminate, as the name suggests, offers a prolonged glow, and takes 5-10 minutes to charge. Zinc sulfide is traditional short-lasting powder that does not glow as long.
At Glowinking Innovations, our expertise revolves around the long-lasting variant. This is a pigment designed to store light energy, releasing it as a radiant glow in the absence of light. And, due to its inherent chemical stability, you can expect a prolonged lifespan from it.
The Mechanism of Glowing
The glow in the dark pigment needs to be charged by an available light source – be it UV light, sunlight, or any other form of visible light. Once charged, in the absence of light, it starts its glowing spectacle. Initially, its brightness might wane faster within the first hour, but post that, the decline is much slower, ensuring a prolonged visibility period.
How Long Does It Illuminate The Night?
A fully charged long-lasting glow in the dark pigment can radiate its charm for 8 to 12 hours. However, over this duration, the intensity gradually reduces. For those keen on a perpetual glow, periodic recharging under light does the trick.
Endless Applications
Considering its impressive luminescence lifespan, stretching nearly two decades, its applications are diverse. When mixed with acrylic paints, it can be used on various surfaces from wood and glass to fabric. It’s also compatible with epoxy resin, enabling creations like glow in the dark toys, decorative items, and much more.
Brightness: A Matter of Perspective
One common misconception is that glow in the dark pigment isn’t bright enough. In reality, the human eye takes time to adjust from a bright setting to a darker one. Once adjusted, the pigment’s glow becomes profoundly apparent.
