Making Glowing Paint from Aluminum
In this video I demonstrate how to make the phosphorescent chemical strontium aluminate from aluminum along with a few other chemicals. Strontium aluminate is currently the most widely-used consumer phosphorescent, and can be found in almost anything that "glows in the dark".
Strontium aluminate replaced the 1st generation phosphorescent zinc sulfide, which is for the most part inferior by every major metric (but still something I'd like to make someday)
I'm sure I made some mistakes here, as always I'd love to hear any insight from any of you who happen to know this chemical better than I do.
Enjoy!
