This Glow in the Dark pigment absorbs and stores sufficient energy to give an afterglow lasting up to ten times longer than zinc sulphide phosphorescents. After exposure to natural or artificial light, it will glow practically all night.

The pigment can be mixed and applied with white acrylic paint. When the acrylic hardens, it effectively locks the pigment into a water–resistant film. It should be noted that the pigment is highly concentrated and only very small amounts are needed to produce glow–in–the–dark effects.
