We specialize in the development, manufacturing, and optimization of synthetic hackmanite for various industries. We work closely with partners to tailor our materials to specific applications, ensuring that every product meets the highest standards of quality and performance.
A powder we call: PureGlow™
PureGlow™, synthetic hackmanite is a fine powder engineered for integration into coatings, polymers, and emulsio materials. This advanced material can react to sunlight, UV or X-ray radiation, offering a unique combination of tenebrescence and luminescence. PureGlow™ is non-toxic, recyclable, and highly customizable, making it the ideal choice for next-generation smart materials and radiation-sensitive applications.
Luminescence – Glow for Advanced Detection
PureGlow™ synthetic hackmanite can be used as a phosphor material. It emits light after being excited with radiation which makes it a suitable material for example for X-ray imaging plates, dosimetry, and radiation detection. Unlike conventional phosphors, synthetic hackmanite is non-toxic, recyclable, and free from rare earth metals, offering a sustainable alternative for industries that rely on high-sensitivity luminescent materials.
Tenebrescence – Color Change for Smart Applications
PureGlow™ synthetic hackmanite exhibits tenebrescence, a reversible color change when exposed to specific wavelengths of radiation, such as UV or X-rays. This effect makes it ideal for UV exposure indicators, for example in security features, smart packaging, and authentication technologies. By adjusting the material´s composition, the speed and intensity of the color transition can be optimized for different applications, ensuring reliable and customizable performance.
The Advantages of PureGlow™ Synthetic Hackmanite
PureGlow™ offers a versatile and sustainable alternative to traditional phosphors and color-changing materials. With its ability to react to UV, X-rays, and other radiation sources, it enables smart, responsive applications across multiple industries.
