Safety data sheet & technical data
To support a well-founded decision, we provide technical data and safety data sheets – as the basis for your own testing and approval.

Technical data
Technical specifications
Key data of our glow pigments for selection and processing. We compile data sheets for each particle size and glow colour for your project.
| Material | Europium/dysprosium-doped strontium aluminate, inorganic |
|---|---|
| Surface | SiO₂-coated and therefore hydrolysis-resistant – even permanently in water |
| Thermal stability | Glow pigment 1,100–1,200 °C; from approx. 150 °C use only untinted pigments (light, whitish daylight colour) |
| Glow colours | Yellow-green (base shade, brightest), blue-green, blue; further shades tinted and weaker |
| Afterglow duration | Yellow-green, blue-green, blue: more than 10 hours in total darkness, as a faint glow after 1–2 hours |
| Excitation | UV content (daylight, UV from 365 nm) charges fastest, artificial light more slowly |
| Guide loading | 15–20 % relative to the carrier material, 30–50 % in opaque carriers |
| Ageing | around 5 % loss of brightness over 10 years (empirical value) |
