NG-200 is a Zinc Sulfide compound that responds quickly to excitation by daylight, incandescent, fluorescent or ultraviolet lights. This pigment emits a bright Green phosphorescence shade. It exhibits high initial brightness and afterglow. The afterglow effect is dependent on pigment concentration, surface area and amount of radiant energy absorbed.

- Precaution
When handling phosphorescent pigment, some precautions should be taken when: • Working with strong acids since this can cause dissolution of phosphorescent pigments. • In the presence of high relative humidity and sunlight, phosphorescent pigments can exhibit darkening. It is not recommended to mill this product since this will degrade the phosphorescence due to breakdown of the crystal structure of the phosphorescent pigment. Mild stirring should be used to incorporate NG-200 into a vehicle. The addition of colorless extenders or colored pigments will reduce the intensity of the phosphorescence. Testing is recommended in the intended application to determine suitability.
