Product Description and Key Features

Luminous Pigment "Blue Snow" is made from specialized materials that absorb and store energy from any light source (sunlight, ambient light, UV light) and then slowly release that energy as a brilliant "Blue Snow" luminescence when the light source is removed. This effect can last for several hours, making it highly effective for both decorative and functional purposes.

Key properties and benefits:

Superior Brightness and Duration: Offers an exceptionally bright and long-lasting blue glow, surpassing traditional glow pigments.

Versatile Application: Can be mixed with various clear media, including resins, varnishes, plastics, silicone, and gel systems.

Non-Toxic and Safe: Safe for use in many applications (always check local regulations for skin contact products).

Fine Texture: The pigment's fine particle size ensures smooth integration and uniform dispersion in clear bases, preventing sedimentation.

Aesthetic Appeal: The color when uncharged is a subtle, light tone, but the glowing effect is a vibrant, cool blue reminiscent of a snowy night.

Excellent Stability: Highly stable against light and temperature, ensuring the luminescent properties do not degrade over time.

Recipe: DIY "Blue Snow" Luminous Resin Coaster

Create a custom resin coaster with a striking, long-lasting "Blue Snow" glow effect.

Ingredients:

50 g Clear Epoxy Resin (Part A); 50 g Epoxy Hardener (Part B); 10 g Luminous Pigment "Blue Snow" (10% concentration); Silicone Coaster Mold.

Instructions for preparation:

Prepare the Resin: Measure 50 grams of Resin Part A and 50 grams of Hardener Part B into separate, clean mixing cups.

Mix the Resin: Pour Part A and Part B into a third, larger mixing cup. Stir slowly and thoroughly for at least two minutes as directed, scraping the sides and bottom to ensure full activation.

Add the Pigment: Add the 10 grams of "Blue Snow" Luminous Pigment to the mixed resin. Stir gently until the powder is fully and evenly dispersed throughout the liquid.

Pour and Set: Slowly pour the pigmented resin mixture into the silicone coaster mold. Allow the resin to set completely according to the resin manufacturer's recommended setting time (typically 24-72 hours).

Demold and Charge: Once fully cured, carefully remove the coaster from the mold. Charge the coaster by exposing it to strong light for 10-30 minutes, and then admire the brilliant blue snow glow in the dark!

Recommendations:

Pigment Ratio: To achieve an even brighter glow, increase the pigment amount up to 25% of the total resin weight (25 grams of pigment for 100 grams of mixed resin).

Activation: Always charge the finished product with a strong light source (UV light works best and fastest) before testing the glow effect.

Safety: Work in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate protective gear (gloves, safety glasses) when working with resins and powders.
