Ultra Blue Glow in the Dark Powder
Ultra Blue is a high-performance photoluminescent pigment designed to deliver a rich blue glow with excellent brightness and extended glow duration.
This premium glow powder absorbs light energy from sunlight, UV black lights, LEDs, and indoor lighting, then gradually releases it in darkness to create a striking luminous blue effect.
Its vibrant glow makes it popular for artistic, decorative, industrial, and specialty applications.
Features
- Extremely bright blue glow
- Long afterglow duration
- Fast charging under UV or sunlight
- Reusable and rechargeable thousands of times
- Non-radioactive
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications
- Works with clear paints, resin, epoxy, plastics, and coatings
Optional Add-On – Viscosity Adjusting Agent
Heavy glow powder particles naturally sink over time when mixed into paints, coatings, or liquid systems. This can cause uneven glow distribution and hardened sediment at the bottom of containers.
Our optional viscosity adjusting agent helps slow down particle settling by increasing the thickness and suspension stability of the mixture.
Benefits
- Helps keep glow particles evenly suspended
- Reduces sinking and hardening
- Improves consistency during application
- Useful for long working times and storage
Recommended For
- Paint makers
- Large batch mixing
- Spray applications
- Thick coatings
- Professional production use
Note: Periodic stirring is still recommended for best results during extended use.

Choosing a Base Type
Glow powder can be mixed into different paint or coating systems depending on your project requirements.
Water-Based Systems
Water-based paints and binders are easier to clean, have lower odor, and are generally safer for indoor use.
Pros
- Low odor
- Easy cleanup
- Safer for indoor applications
- Environmentally friendlier
Cons
- May take longer to dry
- Lower durability in harsh outdoor conditions
- Some water-based systems may reduce glow performance slightly
Solvent-Based Systems
Solvent-based systems usually provide stronger durability, better adhesion, and improved weather resistance.
Pros
- More durable
- Better outdoor resistance
- Stronger adhesion
- Often provides smoother finishes
Cons
- Strong odor
- Requires solvent cleanup
- More ventilation needed during use
Best Results
For maximum glow performance:
- Apply over a white or light-colored base
- Use clear or translucent binders
- Charge using UV black light or direct sunlight
- Apply thicker layers for stronger glow intensity
Important Notes
- Glow brightness depends on charging light source and application thickness.
- Larger particle sizes generally produce stronger glow intensity.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct contamination.
Common Applications
- Glow in the dark paint

What is the brightest glow in the dark color?
Ultra Green and Ultra Blue glow pigments are typically the brightest and longest-lasting. Glow times is easily over 12 hours for this range.
What is the difference between Glow in the Dark Ultra and the Color Series?
Glow in the Dark Ultra products are long afterglow phosphorescent materials that can glow for more than 8 to 15 hours after exposure to light. Their extended glow duration makes them ideal for safety and emergency applications, including secondary emergency lighting, exit markings, and other situations where visibility is needed during sudden darkness.
Color Series products, including White-to-Color and Color-to-Color pigments, are primarily designed for decorative and artistic applications. They are commonly used in paintings, artwork, special effects, and hidden markings or identification features that become visible in the dark. Depending on the color, these pigments typically glow for approximately 30 minutes to 4 hours.
Can I mix glow powder with any paint?
Glow powder works best with clear or translucent paints and resins. Avoid thick or opaque paints because they reduce or block light absorption and glow brightness.
How to test
Some paints appear colored but dry clear. Test by painting on a colored surface and see if it becomes transparent when dry.
Is glow in the dark powder safe?
Modern strontium aluminate glow powder is non-radioactive and generally non-toxic when used correctly. Avoid inhaling fine powder and use gloves and a dust mask during mixing.
