About Us FreedomGlo™ Candles is a privately held company. We develop and manufacture the most Unique Paraffin Wax Glow Candles, Aroma Antics Highly Scented, Ball Candles, Gel Wax Glow Novelties, available anywhere. We looked into the possibility of making Paraffin Wax Glow candles. and Gel Glow Novelties. What we've developed is a manufacturing process which enables a paraffin base wax candle to glow from top to bottom, after the surrounding light is removed, the proof is in the candle, not wrapped around it. With our Gel Wax Novelties, we created not only a decoration, but something that is extremely useful at night, or if the power should happen to go out. I've personally have been able to locate a flashlight in my pantry with one of our smaller novelties, when the power went out one night. Amazing! No batteries, No maintenance, Recharges indefinitely for free! Place them at specific locations around your house, and at night you can navigate with them as a point of reference. One of the biggest reasons for this is the glow pigment that we utilize in our process: (Photo-Luminescent Pigment) Strontium Aluminate Also known as Glow-In-The-Dark Powder) is actually photo-luminescent pigment, which is the basis for almost all glow in the dark products. These pigments are specifically non toxic and non-radioactive. FreedomGlo™ offers a wide variety of colors and performance. In the past few years an incredible advance in self emitting light technology has occurred. We are all familiar with the yellow-green glow in the dark products from the seventies with a short glowing period (Short Glow Powder) and characteristic color. There are currently eleven colors available, some of which can glow for more than 100 hours. This breakthrough in luminescent technology allows us to use these photo-luminescent pigments in ways never thought possible. Safety has been a very important application for these products as well as special effects. Imagine, a water proof, non-electrical, rechargeable, item that is resistant to the damaging effects of the sun. The basic structure of the particle is crystalline, which has a tremendous capacity of absorbing, storing, and emitting light. The crystals absorb any ambient light, including regular indoor light. This provides incredible potential in safety, novelty, and industrial applications. A whole new era in luminous materials have arrived. Why buy FreedomGlo™ Glow Candles?
But the #1 reason is: They are Best! FreedomGlo™ candles is the newest innovation in luminescent after glow candle technology. The possibilities are endless of what you can do with it and we are more than happy to answer any of your questions. Here are some of the FAQ's What is phosphorescent pigment? It is the basis of just about all glow in the dark products. This powdery substance absorbs light and then re-emits it over a length of time.Are the glow candles safe? Yes. The glow candles are made from a non-toxic and non-radioactive substance. How does it get charged? The candle has a photo-luminescent pigment which gets its energy from photons or light. Any ambient light will charge the candle. Sunlight works the fastest but ultraviolet and household will also charge the candle. How many times can you charge it? You can charge the pigment an infinite amount of time s.Will sunlight ruin the glow? The Super Phosphorescent pigments are very stable outside and can last many years. The Short Glow zinc sulfide powder can not.General Overview FreedomGlo™ utilizes the newest innovation in self-emitting light technology (Advanced Series Super Phosphorescent Pigments) of strontium based pigments. Advanced Series of Super Phosphorescent Pigments The Advanced Series is the newest innovation in self-emitting light technology. These strontium aluminates based pigments surpass the all other pigments in brilliance and length of luminosity. Comes in two colors Invisible Yellow-Green and Inv. Turquoise. These pigments are made to go into solvent based (hence, the PPSB in the beginning of the code) mediums, not water. If placed in water the crystal like structure will start deteriorating as does the length and brilliance of the glow.
Code: PPSB-10-8B and PPSB-10-8C Chemical ID: Strontium Aluminate Color: Invisible Turquoise Emission Wavelength: 490 nm Health: Non Radioactive, Non Toxic Medium: Non-aqueous Humidity: <0.5% Excitation Energy: 200-450 nm Specific Gravity: 3.6 Afterglow Extinction: 7,200 min (B), 5,300 min (C) Chemical Stability: Very Good (except water) Code: PPSB-06-8C Chemical ID: Strontium Aluminate Color: Invisible Yellow-Green Emission Wavelength: 523 nm Health: Non Radioactive, Non Toxic Medium: Non-aqueous Humidity: <0.5% Excitation Energy: 200-450 nm Specific Gravity: 3.6 Afterglow Extinction: 6,200 min (C) Chemical Stability: Very Good (except water) Super Phosphorescent Pigments.The Super Phosphorescent Pigments comes in numerous colors and particle sizes. The Super Phosphorescent Pigments for solvent-based mediums can be mixed in just about any medium that is non-aqueous. Mixing these pigments with water (or even ambient moisture in the air) will damage the particles and decrease glow. The reds and oranges will produce a smell when they come in contact with moisture. * Length of Glow was measured under D65 standard light source excited by 1000 lux for 10 minutes. The excitation wavelength is 253.7 nm; LS-100 Instrument was used to determine brightness; The length of time was denoted when the pigment reached .32 mcd/m2 which is the threshold of what the human eye (dark adapted) can perceive. ** Disclaimer: The information provided by FreedomGlo™ is believed to be accurate and is to aid our customers.
