Description

This translucent liquid additive causes cured silicone rubbers, urethane rubbers, plastics, or foams to glow bright blue under a focused ultraviolet light source (blacklight). The glow effect is not visible without a UV light source.

Features

  • Translucent liquid additive
  • Glows bright blue under UV light
  • Does not affect clarity or color when used in low percentages
  • Compatible with silicone rubbers, urethane rubbers, plastics, and foams

When mixed at low percentages, it will not affect the clarity or color of the material. For example, it can be added to Crystal Clear™ water-clear resins, and the glow effect will not be evident until the casting is illuminated by a UV light source.

Instructions

Depending on the application, follow these instructions:

  1. When measuring by weight, use a gram scale and add 1 part of the additive for every 100 parts of mixed material (A+B).
  2. When measuring by volume, add 5 drops of the additive per 88 ml (3 oz) of mixed silicone or urethane material (A+B).

Application

For the strongest glow effect, mix into clear materials such as Sorta Clear™ silicone or Clear Flex™ urethane rubber, or translucent materials like Smooth-Cast™ 325 resin.

Typical Applications

  • Special effects
  • Halloween masks and props
  • Themed displays
  • Security uses where parts appear nearly invisible under normal lighting but fluoresce brightly under UV light

Safety

Warning: This additive is flammable. Use extreme caution when handling and always follow recommended safety procedures. Consult the MSDS for detailed safety and handling information.
