We've taken our brightest blue strontium aluminate - the same material as our Vegan Lanternfish glow powders - and put it into a useable paint.
Vegan Lanternfish Paint holds the maximum possible amount of glow material, while remaining useable for years.
It's a pale green/yellow when it's not glowing, but charge it up with the sun, or even better, a UV light, and it will emit a ridiculous a deep blue-cyan glow which is still just visible over 12 hours later!
This is a water-based acrylic paint. It's designed for large-scale painting, but can be used for anything you fancy. Paint walls, ceilings, wood, metal, indoors, outdoors, your imagination is the limit. The finish is hard-wearing and moisture-resistant.
Coverage:
Please be aware that this paint is translucent, due to the translucent nature of the glow powder within it. Coverage is therefore thinner than standard wall paints, because it contains no pigment other than the glow powder. The lack of any other pigments however, means that with a bit of time, it's possible to create the brightest blue glow in the dark wall humanly possible.
For best results, apply over a white base or primer. The coverage varies depending on how it's applied (roller, brush, spray), but as a guide:
- 1 coat - you will have a patchy but glowing wall. When not glowing, it will look very similar to the original wall.
- 2 coats - you will have a brighter glow in the dark wall that's still slightly patchy. When not glowing, it will be an off-white with poor coverage.
- 3 coats - if application is good, you now have the brightest possible blue glowing wall. When not glowing, it will be mostly off-white, though won't be fully covered.
- 4 coats - the glow can't get much brighter than this, and non-glow coverage will be almost 100% - a consistent pale off-white.
- 5 coats - it may take 5 or more coats to achieve full non-glow coverage if you're painting over a colour that isn't white, or painting on a textured wall.
Coverage per litre is still being tested and we'll publish exact figures once we're confident in them. As a starting estimate, expect it to behave similarly to our green paint (around 10-15 sqm per litre at a single coat, or 2-5 sqm at full glow).
The science of glows:
- Strontium Aluminate is a molecule made from Strontium, Aluminium, and Oxygen.
- Strontium Aluminate molecules vary in complexity, with the exact molecular composition determining the colour it emits.
- There are various blues that can be made by varying the Strontium Aluminate molecule composition, but this one is by far the brightest.
