Phosphorescent Glow-In-The-Dark Paint

Phosphorescent Glow-In-The-Dark Paints

When the Light Go Out…it Glows-In-The-Dark

The Phosphorescent paint also known as PLUTONE Paint Effect absorbs light energy and then glows-in-the-dark when the lights are turned off. This paint is formulated with professional pigments that permit a long glow period when the lights are turned off.

This effect is available in two glowing colours.  GREEN and BLUE

The Plutone paints can be applied using different techniques to produce a high level of glow-in-the-dark luminance. Normally a good effect can be achieved with one or two coats of paints with application by: Spray Gun  –  Paint Roller  –  Paint Brush

This acrylic paint effect can be applied on a variety of substrates and is approved for use on electronics as it meets the RoHS requirements.

  • Wood
  • Metal (Iron, Aluminium, Brass, etc.)
  • Plastic (ABS, ABS-PC, etc.)

A sample kit of this paint is available for purchase. The sample kit will have 1 kg of each paint needed to make the effect. We supply primer, Plutone special paint, topcoat (if needed) and hardener and thinner for spraying. This can paint a 5 m2 area.

This paint is a low thickness product and was not designed to be a substitute for a light source. The long lasting glow effect has been compared to other paints and the Plutone paints offer the same or better results.

The Plutone Phosphorescent paint features a matte finish and is often used for professional and artisanal applications. It is a solvent-based acrylic paint with very good durability. As an option, it is possible to apply a gloss transparent topcoat or even our EROS soft touch to give the surface a rubbery soft feel.

Quality and Quantity of the Phosphorescent Pigment…
Cromas produces paints for professional use, so we only use high quality raw materials produced by industries recognized worldwide for their quality. All Phosphorescent pigments used are registered or pre-registered reach and meet the RoHS requirements.

To have a good glow-in-the-dark effect, the pigments must exist in high quantities on the surface. Unlike the goods sold by online shops that need many layers of paint, our Plutone effect can be applied in 1 or 2 layers.

Background Color…
The color of the background is the main factor that affects the quantity of light emitted. The brighter the background, the stronger the light is released or emitted. For example, with a white background there is maximum light emissions, and with the black background the emission is lower.

Illumination Level And Quality Of The Emission…
The emission level is related to the quantity of light energy absorbed by the surface. In general, a charge of 10 minutes with full light produces the maximum absorbed energy for a typical paint thicknesses of 60-80 microns dry.

The Cromas Plutone paints can also used for safety applications. In areas such as a stairwell, the painting of lines or vertical signs with phosphorescent paint will allow people to recognise the exit signs for several hours as their eyes become used to the darkness.

Unlike many online stores that offer similar items, Cromas produces professional quality special paints that are praised by our users. The online products have often have a large grain size of 75 microns that leaves a rough surface. Our products range between 5 and 15 microns for a much smoother surface that is suitable for furniture and any surface that needs to be touched.

 

The Phosphorescent Glow-In-The-Dark paint effect is often confused with the Fluorescent Neon paint effect.

The main distinction between the two effects is the timeframe when light energy is released.

PHOSPHORESCENT paints also called Photoluminescent or Phosphorescence are paints that after absorbing the light energy, will glow-in-the-dark for some time when the lights are turned off.

FLUORESCENT paints also called Neon or Fluorescence paints are made in very bright colors. These paints reflect the light, but when the lights go out, they do not emit any light. However, they can be seen in the dark with UV lights.
