Brief Introduction of Photoluminescent Ceramics / Glasses

Photoluminescent ceramics / glasses are new types of ceramics and glasses with self-glowing characteristic by adding long-after glowing photoluminscent pigment in the production of common ceramics and glasses.

Besides the common characteristics of ceramics and glasses,Photoluminescent ceramics/glasses can glow in the dark automatically after absorbing the visible lights,which makes them enjoy a more widely applicable fields.

Photoluminescent pigment in the photoluminescent ceramics/glasses can absorb and store all kinds of visible lights. Once saturated,it can automatically and consistently glow in the dark. The pigment is characterized by its long after-glowing time,high brightness and recycle uses.

Its brightness is ten more times higher than the traditional luminescent material,such as sulfide materials. This material is non-radioactive,non-toxicity and harmless.

For many years,scientists are trying to find a kind of material which can store the artificial and natural lights,and can change it into light energy when needed. Photoluminescent ceramics/glasses is their research results,which characterized by its consistent self-glowing in the dark without any outside energy. Therefore the material bear more importance in the emergency lighting conditions after power-cutting.

The importance of emergency lighting of photoluminescent ceramics/glasses is not only for energy saving,but only for life saving for its special penetration ability,which can lead people to orderly escape from dangers. During the US 911 terrorist attacks,an article reports that many people are successfully escaped in the strong smokes with the help of emergency escape signs.

Photoluminescent ceramics/glasses applied in houses and public buildings not only can beauty the residential and working environments,cultivate people’s living interests,but also can resist the fungus to improve people’s health.

The photoluminescent ceramics/glasses can be categorized into building ceramics/glasses and craft ceramics/glasses. The application method is the same the common ceramics and glasses.
