Yes, phosphorescent pigments can glow under black light.

Phosphorescent pigments, often referred to as "glow-in-the-dark" pigments, or black light pigment, exhibit a strong glow under black light. These pigments possess a unique ability to absorb energy from a light source and temporarily retain it. When the light source is removed, the colored object starts radiating light, releasing the stored energy. The process of achieving this luminescence involves charging the pigments. The duration of the emitted light varies based on factors such as luminous intensity and particle size within the iSuoChem® range of phosphorescent products, ranging from seconds to hours. Notably, long-lasting models can glow for up to 12 hours or more.

The effectiveness of phosphorescent pigments is attributed to the majority of emitted light waves falling within the ultraviolet (UV) part of the spectrum, beyond human perception. When ultraviolet light waves interact with objects containing phosphor materials, a natural fluorescence occurs, resulting in the emission of visible light.

Our iSuoChem® phosphorescent pigments, formulated with zinc sulfide compounds, exhibit responsiveness to various light sources, including sunlight, incandescent, fluorescent, or UV light. Prior to harnessing the stored energy, these pigments display a vibrant green hue, introducing a dynamic and visually appealing element to their luminous properties.
