Glow in the dark additives?

[EmAn]

Is there any glow in the dark additives for water cooling? This means not UV reactive as it requires light to glow. I am trying to say you need to have it in a lit area to absorb the light and then shut off all of the lights and it will glow. Like those stars you put on your ceiling

I have never seen any, I don't think it would work that well as your case would have to be getting a lot of light into it to charge it

Probably not anything suitable for out loops. We need non-particulate based dyes if you plan on using anything besides a pond pump.

Doubtful as the Phosphor that is used usually in glow in the dark items is a powder, you MIGHT be able to find a liquid but more then likely it will be a suspension of some type.

I do remember that there are glow in the dark pastes, but wether or not they disolve in water, or are suiteble for a loop I don't know. And frankly I wouldn't try it either

First, let me disclose that I am a Senior Technician at a company called Glow Inc that sells glow in the dark pigments.

Dyes are particles that dissolve and alter the color of mediums that surround them. Pigments are particles that do not dissolve. They stay in their original form. But they are typically small enough to make it appear that the medium surrounding them is altered.

All phosphorescent (glow in th dark) particles are pigments. To make matters worse, they have a high density.

If you add them to water, they will just sink to the bottom. Glow paint is manufactured with a special micro-webbing to deal with that problem.

But you can do some awesome case mods with glow in the paint. In fact, every Glow Inc. server has a glowing bezel with our logo.

I hope this helps. If anyone is interested, below are the links to both our paint and raw pigment:

I do believe that may violate a rule or two. You may want to peruse the rules that you agreed to when you signed up.

With a single answer he did clarify totally even if the answer was advertising for his company.

thanks for the explanation Phidelt. I never realized the many types of colors available. I always assumed it was one type, as its the only one I have seen.

Yeah... lets not bust him. He helped.

IMO his post was more than fine. He answered the question in great detail and even started off with full disclosure.
