Use of Colorants in the Plastic Industry

Use of Colorants in the Plastic Industry : Pigment orange, pigment blue, pigment green; you name it and you have an attractive piece of plastic ware with that colour tint in some store or the other.

The Magic of ‘Glow in the Dark’ Pigments

The Magic of 'Glow in the Dark' Pigments : Certain specialty colorants stand apart from the regular organic pigments due to certain attributes possessed by them. One of the attribute is the 'glow in the dark' effect. The special substances are referred to as phosphors and glowing is sometimes called phosphorescence. Visible light is radiated by these Phosphors after they are energized. This implies that the phosphors have to be exposed to light for the required time for them to be energized and glow in the dark. This stored energy is then released by the phosphors at a slow rate for a certain period of time. While this energy is being released small quantities of light is emitted and that is the reason for the object to glow in the dark. Many chemical compounds act as phosphors; howev...

Sculpture Anyone? : Are you experimenting and looking for another art outlet? Have you considered sculpting? Sculpture has been with us for as long as man has been in existence.
