ProFX Invisible Neutral Glow in the Dark and Day time Visible Photo-luminescent Acrylic Paint is designed to be a white or off white in the day or day visible colors that Glow a specific color in the dark. These paints are sometimes called GID, GDI even LIT! They are made from a combination of specially formulated produced to our specific recipe and crystals that are created under pressure using specific chemicals in ratio. SrAl2= is Strontium Aluminate - O4 Tetraoxygen creates a mixture of persistent luminescence nanoparticles which are co-doped with Eu2+ and Dy3+. These rare elements Europium and Dysprosium create the photoluminescence within Glow in the Dark Crystals.

Levels of Eu2+ and Dy3+ create the variant of colors that we produce in this man made crystal that is inert, non-reactive and non-toxic

Glomania have specialized in these types of paints for over 20 years, and have trade marks for its ProFX and MX24 glow paint ranges. Photo-luminescent glow in the Dark pigment powders can be mixed with most clear mediums ( liquids). However because these are a combination of rare earth elements they are structurally heavy and settle to the bottom in most instances when making paint. Glomania have produced their own specially formulated Acrylic Medium that suspends the crystals and stops the caking effect found in other paints. 

These are NOT standard glues as you may think, although a form of the polymer is also sometimes used in the production of glue.

USES: Glow in the dark paints have many uses from Art and Crafts to Safety Resin even Jewelry or Nail Art.  

GLOW DURATION: There is a lot of speculation on how long will Glow in the Dark Paint crystals glow for, unfortunately it is not as simple as a number. Glow in the Dark pigments are like batteries, they need a energy source to charge them. As these are crystals they do not have an ON/OFF button so as they are charging they are also emitting that charge in the form of an ambient glow. The best energy sources for these pigments are Sun Light & Black Light as they both transmit UV Rays. Other incandescent lighting and some LED’s will also charge these crystals. The greater the energy source the greater the charge. This then also applies to the crystal size for storing that energy. Glow times can be from 30mins to 24+ hours.

Q&A:

1:I ordered Red paint why is mine White?

If you purchased our Invisible Neutral range of paints they will arrive white in color. The medium is white but once dry becomes clear so that the white crystals receive a greater charge from a light source. If you order our Day Visible range then you would receive a Red or any other color that you choose. These paints are visible during the day and glow there respective color.

2: Why does my paint not glow very long?

If you charge the paint and leave the room only to go back a couple of hours later the glow will not show, this is because your eyes need to adjust to the dark. However if you went to sleep and woke up say 6 hrs later then certain paint ranges will still be glowing.

3: Why is my artwork streaky and not like other paint?

These are crystals and not a dye so it is like painting with sand, the more brushstrokes the more the crystals ridge on the sides of the brush making the painted area not glow as much but only on the sides.

Solution : more coats generally work or airbrush for that smooth finish.

4: What is the longest Glowing paint?

The main color for Glow in the Dark pigment is GREEN. This is also the brightest and longest glowing pigment.

The color glow rates for longevity are as follows;

Green, Aqua, Blue 6 - 18 hrs

Lilac/Purple 5 - 8 hrs

White, Orange, Pink, Yellow 3 - 6 hrs

Visible Glow in the dark Pigments 1 - 8 hrs

Reds 30mins -1.5 hrs

NB: These times are approximate and will vary subject to what you are mixing with, base color and energy charge as well as crystal size and purity.

5: What does " INVISIBLE NEUTRAL" actually mean?

Invisible Neutral is a term given to White Glow in the dark pigmented paint that glow a color in the Dark. As the paint uses solid crystals that in an inert state are WHITE or an OFF White in color.  On White or OFF white surfaces they are virtually " invisible" hence the title.

Glow in the Dark paint gives off an ambient light, this is NOT like a bulb that projects light so to far away the paint can not be seen glowing

Please note that working with Glow in the dark paints you need to be aware that they do need a light source to charge them. Their main excitation is from UV Rays ( Sun Light) so making sure they get plenty is vital.

DARK SURFACES: Dark colors actually SOAK IN light which in turn will diminish the glow from the paint. White or Bright colors will reflect light making the crystal's charge better and also glow brighter from an optical view point.
