Everyglow^®  Orange Phosphorescent Powder

Our Orange Phosphorescent Powder is a high-performance,Yttrium oxysulfide doped with Europium luminous powder designed to emit a warm, vibrant amber glow. This pigment bridges the gap between the traditional green/blue colors and the specialized red tones, offering a high-visibility safety hue and a unique aesthetic for high-end design projects.

Orange phosphorescent powder Key Features & Benefits

• High-Contrast Glow: Produces a distinctive orange-amber luminescence that provides excellent visibility in dark or smoky conditions.
• Rapid Charging: Highly responsive to UV light, sunlight, and full-spectrum LED lighting, reaching full saturation quickly.
• Exceptional Stability: Non-radioactive and non-toxic with a long service life, maintaining its glow-discharge capabilities for over 10 years.
• Multi-Medium Compatibility: Easily disperses into clear resins, varnishes, plastics, glass glazes, and silicone.
• Superior Durability: Resistant to high temperatures and outdoor weathering, making it suitable for industrial environments.

Orange phosphorescent pigment Applications

1. Safety & Emergency Signaling

Used for specialized warning signs where red is the internationally recognized color for “Stop” or “Danger,” ensuring these symbols remain visible during power outages.

2. Automotive & Marine

Ideal for custom paint jobs, rim coatings, and dashboard accents. The red glow provides a sophisticated, aggressive look for high-performance vehicles.

3. Sports & Outdoors

Incorporated into fishing lures, golf balls, and camping gear to assist in recovery and visibility during dawn, dusk, or night activities.

4. Arts & Crafts

Popular for resin casting, jewelry making, and “lava” effects in furniture (river tables). It is highly effective when mixed with clear epoxies, acrylics, and glazes.

Usage Instructions & Tips

• Mixing Ratio: For optimal results, use a ratio of 15% to 30% pigment by weight relative to the clear binder/medium.
• Background Matters: Always apply over a white or reflective background. A dark background will absorb the glow, significantly reducing the visible output.
• Avoid Grinding: Do not use a ball mill or heavy grinding equipment, as mechanical stress can break the crystal structure and “kill” the glow capability.
• Charging: Red pigments require a stronger light source to reach full saturation compared to green. UV light (blacklight) or direct sunlight is most effective for a quick charge.

Safety & Handling

• Non-toxic and non-radioactive.
• Avoid inhalation of fine dust; use a dust mask and eye protection during mixing.
• Store in a cool, dry place in a sealed container to prevent moisture absorption.

Can Orange phosphorescent pigment be used in outdoor applications?

Key points for outdoor use

1. Light resistance & weatherabilityMost red long-afterglow pigments are based on calcium sulfide / sulfide systems, which are less stable outdoors:
   • Easily affected by moisture, rain, and high humidity
   • Tend to darken, fade, or lose glow brightness over time under UV sunlight
   • Not as durable as green strontium aluminate pigments for long-term outdoor exposure
2. • Use surface-coated / encapsulated orange phosphorescent powder (waterproof, UV-stabilized)
   • Mix with UV-resistant resin, topcoat, or outdoor varnish
   • Avoid direct long-term soaking in water
   • Use in shaded or semi-outdoor areas for longer lifespan Improvement methods
     To use them outdoors:
3. Suitable outdoor applications
   • Safety signs, emergency markers
   • Road marking, decorative paving
   • Architectural decoration, night signage
   • Crafts and outdoor artworks (with proper sealing)
4. Summary
   • Can be used outdoors, but not ideal for long-term open-air exposure
   • With proper coating and protection, they work for medium-term outdoor use
   • For extreme outdoor durability, green/blue glow pigments are still more reliable
