What Are Glow-in-the-Dark Resins?

How Glow-in-the-Dark Resins Work

The glowing effect in these resins is achieved through phosphorescent pigments. When exposed to light, such as sunlight or room lighting, these pigments absorb energy. Once the lights are switched off or the area darkens, the stored energy is gradually released as a visible glow. This makes them ideal for decorative features and visibility enhancements.

Choosing and Using Phosphorescent Pigments

Phosphorescent pigments are available in several colours, allowing creative versatility. The Phosphorescent Pigment – Glow-in-the-Dark Additive stands out for its high concentration of active components, providing a strongly luminous effect. To use, simply blend the pigment with transparent resin, paints, or varnishes before applying to your project, ensuring even dispersion for a uniform glow.

• Ideal for resin casting, decoupage, crafts, and safety markings
• Available in five different shades
• Best applied in thin, even layers for maximum effect

When This Matters

Glow-in-the-dark resins are particularly useful when you want objects or details to remain visible in low light or darkness, such as escape routes, signage, or novelty décor. Their versatility makes them popular for both decorative and functional applications.
