PET-G – Glow in the Dark/Blue Spectrum 1kg.

PET-G – Glow in the Dark/Blue Spectrum is a PET-G based filament mixed with a concentrated phosphorescent pigment. Accordingly, once the printed articles are exposed to an external light source, they will emit their own light. The material has all the typical characteristics of pure PET-G – the added pigment has a neutral effect on the material properties.

The addition of phosphorescent pigment to PET-G provides the following properties to the printed articles:

• ability to emit its own light after prior exposure to an external light source
• the ability to “control” the light intensity of printed articles by adjusting the wall thickness and filler density.

Tip: To achieve a stronger and longer lasting glowing effect, leave the model exposed to light for longer. The presence of phosphorescent pigment may also cause wear on the brass nozzles; therefore, the use of stainless steel nozzles is recommended for prolonged application of PET-G – Glow in the Dark/Blue Spectrum.
