How Glow in the Dark Powder Works

Before diving into the application of glow in the dark epoxy, let's understand the science behind the glow. The secret lies in the aforementioned powder pigment, a phosphorescent substance mixed with the epoxy resin. This powder absorbs light energy and, when in darkness, releases it slowly in the form of a soothing glow.

The glow in the dark powder is made from phosphors, which are naturally luminescent materials. These phosphors can absorb energy from various light sources, including sunlight, fluorescent lights, and incandescent bulbs. The energy absorption process, also known as 'charging', allows the glow in the dark powder to emit light when darkness falls.

The glow duration and intensity depend on the type of glow in the dark powder used, the charging light source, and the amount of time it was exposed to light.
