Glow in dark powder is a substance that emits light in the dark. Its luminescence principle is to absorb light energy and then release it in the dark. This is a physical phenomenon. Luminous powder is widely applied in luminous materials, luminous toys, luminous clocks, etc.
The luminescence principle of glow in the dark powder is based on fluorescence phenomenon. Fluorescence refers to the long-term light radiation of an excited substance. The luminescence principle of glow in the dark powder is to absorb light energy and then release it in the dark. When glow in the dark powder is irradiated by light, it absorbs the energy in the light and then converts it into excited electrons. These excited electrons will stay at the excited energy level for some time and then gradually return to the ground state. In this process, luminous powder will release light energy and thus generate light radiation. The luminous principle of glow in the dark powder is a kind of spontaneous radiation. This is because the fluorescent substance in the glow in the dark powder absorbs energy from light and then convert it into excited electrons. These excited electrons will stay at the excited energy level for some time and then gradually return to the ground state. In this process, glow in the dark powder will release light energy and thus generate light radiation.
Glow in the dark powder is usually divided into two categories: photoinduced energy storage type luminous powder and radioactive glow in the dark powder. Photoinduced energy storage type glow in the dark powder is a kind of fluorescent powder. It stores energy from natural light, sunlight and UV light and releases it slowly in the fluorescent form in the absence of light sources. Therefore, Glow in the dark powder still emits light at night or in the dark. It can continuously absorb light for several hours and even more than ten hours.
In terms of light emitting time, Glow in the dark powder is divided into long-acting Glow in the dark powder powder and short-acting luminous powder. Short-acting Glow in the dark powder, also known as zinc sulfide Glow in the dark powder, can emit light for 0.5-1 hour after 3-15 seconds of light absorption. Long acting glow in the dark powder powder is made of non-toxic and environmentally friendly rare earth. It can emit light in the dark for more than 12 hours after continuous light absorption for 10-20 minutes. Most of luminous products in the market contain long-acting Glow in the dark, such as luminous signs, escape signs, or luminous coatings. The luminous principle of Glow in the dark powder is fully applied to achieve unique effects.
The effectiveness at night depends on the time of light absorption in daytime. Glow in the dark powder is like a battery. The longer the light absorption time, the longer it will emit light. The charging duration depends on the light intensity. Glow in the dark powder can absorb light continuously for 1-3 hours.
First, sufficient light is needed. The longer the light duration, the better the luminous effect is. Then, glow in the dark pigments should have appropriate transparency and light sources should be pure, preferably without color interference.
Mixture of glow in the dark powders is not recommended. Why? Because glow in the dark powder changes color by absorbing visible light. If another color is involved, the light absorption capacity of luminous powder will be affected. In addition, the brightness of glow in the dark powder will decline. Therefore, the use of pigments in other colors should be minimized. In addition, it is recommended not to mix different glow in the dark powders.
Qualified glow in the dark powder is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, harmless, non-radioactive and safe.
Glow in the dark powder can be used outdoors. It can be applied on luminous roads, luminous decoration of walls, road markings and luminous sidewalks. It can also be used in luminous signs of airports, shopping malls, exhibition centers, and processing plants.
Waterproof glow in the dark powder can be applied in water-based media such as water-based paint. It is free of any impact during long-term storage in humid outdoor and indoor areas.
1. Brushing: mix glow in the dark powder with varnish and apply it with a brush.
2. Apply a layer of mold glue in the corresponding area and spread several layers of bright powder (usually 3 layers), until the original mark is completely covered. The specific amount depends on personal needs. Wait until the coating is dry. Gently wipe off excess substance with a tissue.
3. Spraying: mix glow in the dark powder with varnish, shake vigorously and then conduct spraying. The ratio of luminous powder and varnish is approximately 3:7 (visual inspection). Note: Conduct spraying quickly as glow in the dark powder is settled fast. In addition, maximize the nozzle opening in the spraying process. Otherwise, the nozzle may be blocked and cannot be easily cleaned!
1. Use high-quality glow in the dark powder with high purity. The higher the purity of glow in the dark powder, the better the luminous effect is. Therefore, it is recommended to use high-quality glow in the dark powder. In addition, keep glow in the dark powder from contamination by impurities during storage.
2. Control the amount of powder used. An appropriate amount of luminous powder should be used. Otherwise, the luminous effect will be influenced. It is recommended to strictly follow the dosage recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Use suitable substrates. glow in the dark powder should be added to transparent resins or coatings. Appropriate resins or coatings should be used to achieve the best luminous effect.
4. Increase the light receiving area. Glow in the dark materials should be applied on the surfaces of objects instead of the interior. Luminous effects can be enhanced by applying multiple layers of glow in the dark paint or increasing the light receiving area.
5. Increase the exposure time. The longer the exposure time, the longer the duration of luminous effect. Luminous materials can be exposed longer to light or more intense light can be applied to enhance the excitation capacity.
6. Apply multiple layers of glow in the dark material. One or two additional layers of luminous material can be applied to improve the light absorption capacity and luminous effect.
7. Improve the excitation capacity. Use intense light sources such as UV flashlights in the dark to assist in exciting luminous effects and thus enhancing the luminous effect.
Glow in the dark powder can be cleaned easily. Gently wipe it with warm water and neutral detergent. Specific steps are as follows:
(1) Soak the object in warm water for some time to loosen the glow in the dark powder.
(2) Pour neutral detergent onto a clean sponge and gently wipe off the luminous powder.
(3) Rinse the object with clean water until the detergent is thoroughly removed.
(4) Dry the object to prevent corrosion by residual moisture.
Notes:
(1) Do not use hot water or strong acidic or alkaline detergents. Otherwise, the glow in the dark powder will lose the luster.
(2) Conduct cleaning with care to avoid the wear and tear of glow in the dark powder.
Maintenance of glow in the dark powder
Regular maintenance is needed for glow in the dark powder to keep its luminous effect and service life. Common maintenance procedures are as follows.
(1) Prevent glow in the dark powder from exposure to sunlight. It is subject to the loss of brightness in the presence of UV rays.
(2) Minimize the exposure to chemicals, such as perfume and alcohol. Otherwise, the luminous effect of glow in the dark powder will decline.
(3) Regularly wipe surfaces to prevent dust and dirt from covering the luminous powder and affecting the luminous effect.
(4) Do not keep glow in the dark powder in humid places for a long time; otherwise, the brightness and service life of glow in the dark powder will decline.
(5) Regularly replace batteries or maintain mechanical equipment to ensure the normal use of glow in the dark powder.
Glow in the dark powder can absorb any light and emit light in the dark without a power supply.
Glow in the dark powder is widely applied in luminous materials, luminous toys, and luminous clocks. Its luminous principle is to emit light in the dark, thus improving visibility and aesthetics. In addition, the luminous principle of glow in the dark powder can be applied to luminous road markings and signs to improve traffic safety at night.
