The white glow powder also looks fluorescent in a backlit object, and it's the only colorant I've found to look almost true white when backlit by a black light (it's a very pale teal under these conditions, which beats a rich frost blue, which is how white normally looks under black light). This is the only viable white for my purposes.
The purple also offers a stellar purple glow, but its fluorescence is meh. However, all purple micas seem meh, and only one other company I have found offers a good purple glow (and that is a neutral powder). Good news is it looks far less meh when backlit, which is what I do. But, I do need to mix it with other things (clear purple dye and a different purple mica) to get the effect I like.
The neutral red is a little too "orange" for me, but fortunately, it does give a red glow when carefully balanced with other neon dyes if they are not too opaque.
White aside, I do need to tweak these products to get use of them, but I still need them and am very satisfied.
For the Neutral white, we recommend using a UV light with a wavelength of 395 nm or higher to charge your white glow paint.
It is important to note though that any true white glow pigment is made up of a mixture of different colors of glow pigments, which when viewed together yield white. It's the same principle as the RGB pixels on your TV that when combined make white light. For this reason, if your white glow paint is not fully charged, you may see a faint green or blue glow since these colors emit a much lower wavelength and don’t require much of a charge to see them glow.
We do a nightmare before christmas theme and have made 80% of the decorations ourselves. This year we made Oogie Boogie and we're looking for something to make him glow in the dark. The powder mixed with fabric mod podge worked amazingly!! You can easily see him from across the street, so happy with the product
I love this powder and use it in all my resin work, my customers love how the products glow and glow for hours. This glow powder is amazing and vibrant.
After trying the sample, I bought sky blue, neutral aqua, and dark blue glow powder. The first two are great and I love them so much! The dark blue does not glow very much at all and I won't be able to sell as glow product. Kind of a bummer, but the other 2 colors are amazing!
Due to their unique crystalline structures, each glow in the dark color has a different maximum brightness and glow time. Neutral Dark Blue glow powder is one of the more difficult colors to charge. Many times people think the powder is defective, but in reality, they are just not using the appropriate light source to charge it. Once they use the correct light source they see that it does in fact glow vibrantly.
We recommend using a full spectrum UV light (like the sun or specialized lamps) to charge your glow powder to its fullest potential. The UV lights with a 365 nm wavelength and smaller battery-operated UV lights with a lower energy supply will not charge Neutral Dark Blue glow powder anywhere near its full potential.
