Phosphorescent Pigments
Lumilux® Effect Red N (50037)
Main use: Afterglow plastic sheets, paints, injection molding. Lumilux N-series phosphorescent pigments emit light long after the source has been removed. They are zinc sulfide-based, and meet UL and CE safety standards.
Overview
Lumilux N-series products are phosphorescent pigments that store energy when exposed to the sun or an artificial light source, and emit light long after the source has been removed. They are zinc sulfide-based, and meet UL and CE safety standards.
