Aqua Glow in The Dark Powder - 4 Ounces

- Glow in the dark or UV pigment is composed of strontium aluminate with rare earth elements europium and dysprosium

- Pigments come in multiple particle sizes ... 18-25, 30-40, and 45-60 microns. Choice of particle size is based on brightness desired (larger particles glow brighter; smaller particle glow is ~10% less bright) and application (smaller particles result in a smoother finish and may be needed when using an air brush or other spray tools). Note: Other particle sizes are available as a special order; contact us directly for special requests

- Luminance for each particle size is measured as mcd/m2 immediately, at 1 min, 10 min, and 60 min

45-60um--~33,000--1310--215--26
30-40um--~30,000--1123--209--24
18-25um--~25,000--870--160--21

Glow time is 12-24 hours depending on particle size and color.

Note: Some sellers charge their samples twice the 5 min @ 1000lx specified by DIN 67510-1 Norm. Be careful! You may be comparing apples to oranges in reported brightness (luminance) from one seller's product to another
