This section is about Photo Luminous Glow in the Dark inks and not Glow in the Dark Paints. Difference between glow inks and glow paints is that paints are meant to be applied by brush or spray. Inks are meant for printing purposes.
These inks come pre-mixed with our long glow powder and ready for immediate use. There are different inks for different applications and surfaces. The inks are available in a standard color of 'Cream' under normal light, with a 'Light Green' glow color, in the dark. The table below shows the different types of glow inks we carry.

Besides Glow in the Dark inks, we also offer ThermoChromic Inks.
Thermo Chromic inks change
color as their temperature changes. Our thermochromic inks all work the same way:
-
below the activation temperature they are colored
-
above the activation temperature they are clear or lightly colored.
-
As the ink cools, the original color returns.
Low Temperature: ink is used for applications in the refrigeration temperature range, like beverage labels and ice-cream packaging.
Body Temperature: ink is designed to show color at normal room temperature and to change color when rubbed with the finger or by breathing on it. It is used on packaging and other interactive products as well as a security feature for checks, prescription pads, and other important documents.
High Temperature: formulation changes color just below the pain threshold temperature for skin, which is why it is a great safety feature on labels for microwaveable products and hot beverages.
