Chroma Color Photoluminescent Masterbatch Colors Meet Growing Demands from Plastic Molders

chromacolorstg on February 18, 2024

Chroma Photoluminescent Color

Photoluminescent color concentrates, also known as glow-in-the-dark color concentrates, have gained popularity in recent years due to their unique properties and ability to create eye-catching visual effects. For example, photoluminescent color concentrates are increasingly being used in safety applications such as emergency exit signs, egress path markings, and safety equipment. This is because photoluminescent materials are reliable and can be charged by both natural and artificial light, ensuring that they remain visible even in low-light or dark conditions.

Chroma Color continues to explore new materials and technologies to improve the properties of photoluminescent color concentrates for our customer to be more efficient and brighter than traditional pigments.

The Benefits of Chroma Colors Photoluminescent Masterbatches Includes:

– Rapid activation yielding hours of glow

– Light stable formulation (fade resistant)

– Custom-tailored for glow longevity and brilliance

– Designed for specific life safety applications

– Enhance and differentiates outdoor or indoor applications

To ensure customers of Chroma Color photoluminescent masterbatches will yield hours of glow. We had products molded using Chroma Color’s Glow tested by an outside laboratory resulting in measurements of 32 hours of glow time. To examine the variety of resins tested and results download this pdf:
