Ready Set Glo's Photoluminescent pigment is a new type of long persistence phosphorescent
pigment of alkaline earth aluminate activated by rare earth ions. The main characteristic of
this material is the particular structure of its crystal with the strong capacity of
absorbing-storing-emitting light. After absorbing varieties of visible lights (suitable for
common light in room), it can glow for more than twelve hours in the dark. The brightness and
length of persistence time are more tens times than those of the conventional phosphor of zinc
sulfide. The material itself has nontoxic and harmless and free from any radioactive additives.
It has good stability and weather ability. Excitation and emission can be repeated indefinitely.
ADVANTAGES
- Afterglow Properties of ten times the current ZnS(zinc sulfide) based pigments.
(see chart compare below)
- Increase in luminescence and afterglow with longer activation time.
- Excellent weather and light fastness.
- Free of hazardous and radioactive substances.
APPLICATION
The new type of luminous powder is used for many very different technical and artistic
purposes due to its characteristics.It can be used in manufacturing paint; ink; ceramic;
plastic; rubber and films etc. It is completely safe for the application in consumer products
such as clothing; shoes; caps; toys; stationery goods; watch; switch; novelties; fishing tools
and sporting goods. It has good effects in the fields of building; decoration; traffic vehicle;
military installations; fire emergency system. It is especially suitable for the production
of long afterglow safety products such as warning; mandatory and escape-route signs.
READY SET GLO'S NEW PHOTOLUMINESCENT PAINTS are engineered to produce superior glow qualities,
as well as outstanding durability.Depending on the glow color you chose our paint can achieve
up to 12 hours of glow. Ready Set Glo's paints are developed specifically for the Strontium
photoluminescent pigments keeping in mind that most paints on the market today using any kind
of glow pigment have a major problem of pigments settling and thus makes it very hard to apply
even coats. We have overcome this problem, and you will find our paints have pigment uniformly
dispersed through out.
