Phosphorescent Pigment for Glow-in-the-Dark Resin Projects

What is Phosphorescent Pigment?

Phosphorescent pigment is a photoluminescent powder that stores light and then emits a visible glow once lights go out. Unlike conventional colourants, these pigments continue to shine in darkness, making details and features stand out clearly. When blended into resin, you can transform ordinary castings and surfaces into glowing highlights, perfect for both decorative and functional uses.

How to Use Phosphorescent Pigment in Resin

To achieve the best glow-in-the-dark results, simply add the pigment powder to clear resin and mix thoroughly. Since the effect is most vivid in transparent or lightly tinted resins, make sure your base is suitably clear. Approximately 5–10% pigment to resin by weight is a common starting point for a strong effect. Apply the resin to your chosen surface or casting mould as usual, and allow it to cure in daylight or under artificial light for maximum luminescence.
