What is 'encapsulated' glow powder?
The standard glow powder can't be mixed with water or water based products when it is raw.
So we protected the particles by 'encapsulating' them. You can use the encapsulated powder in non-water based products too.
- It's slightly more expensive
- The brightness is slightly less than standard glow powder
- It comes in the medium particle size
What can't powder be added to?
- Glow powder can't be mixed with metal based products
- If mixed with dark coloured mediums, the glow will be significantly reduced
- Mediums with UV inhibitors will affect the charge time and brightness of glow
How does it work?
Our glow powder is made up of particles that absorb light energy from almost any light source. The sun and UV black lights are the strongest and will charge the particles the quickest (in as little as a minute).
Whilst exposed to light, the particles will hold on to their charge. When the surrounding light drops the particles start to 'let go' of their charge and a glow is seen. The darker the area, the brighter the glow.
How much will I need?
Generally speaking, around 30grams of powder per 100ml of whatever medium you choose. We strongly recommend you do a small trial first though to test the effect and the efficacy of the resulting product (for example, too much powder in paint can affect how the paint adheres to a surface).
