Description
Part number PPSB-261LB is one pound of our Light Yellow phosphorescent pigment.
We developed this light yellow luminous powder additive to go into oil based mediums. Phosphorescent pigment is the basic building block for material that glows in the dark. It works by absorbing ambient light and then re-emitting it in the visible spectrum. This process can be repeated an infinite amount of times. The color visible in regular light is an off white and it will glow a vibrant Light Yellow in the dark. You can mix this pigment into any clear medium such as glue, paint, caukling, wax, clay, gel candles, liquid nails, silicone, urethane, you name it. This pigment is best used right after mixing, most mediums seem to gel with this pigment over a period of time.
Benefits of Risk Reactor's PPSB-261LB visible Light Yellow Pigment:
- Looks Light Yellow and glows Light Yellow.
- Great for fishing lures.
- Used extensively for crafts and decorative items.
- Product can last more than 15 years, unlike conventional pigment.
- Just about any light will charge it.
- Glows a strong Light Yellow.
- Non-radioactive it just glows naturally.
- Safe and non-toxic to use, much like sand.
- Can be used with just about any non-aqueous medium.
- Charges an infinite amount of times.

Glow Time Chart Measured in mcd/m2
The afterglow brightness is measured under D65 standard light source excited by 1000 lux for 10 minutes. The excitation wavelength is 253.7 nm. The instrument to determine brightness LS-100. As a general rule, the larger the particle size the greater and longer the glow. The threshold of the human eye to detect light is .32 mcd/m2 with a dark adapted eye.
