Phosphorescent paint can be used to make stuff glow in the dark.
because its non radioactive and less toxic
The salt present in luminous paint is typically a phosphorescent material called strontium aluminate.
The synonym of phosphorescent is luminescent.
Phosphorescent materials can vary in cost depending on factors such as the type of material, quality, and quantity needed. Some phosphorescent materials, like those used in specialty applications or high-end products, can be more expensive, while others used in common applications may be more affordable.
Those inventions were so phosphorescent back then.
It depends on the paint used. "Luminous" paint will only last a short time because it will lose its chemical reactants (radioactive paints being unusual). "Phosphorescent" paint may absorb light energy, then release it again. This will last for a considerable time but not for any great numberof years, because it reacts with other chemicals as well.
Radium paint is no longer around. It was used to make glow-in-the-dark watch dials, and it was radioactive. They still make glow-in-the-dark watch dials, but the paint on them contains phosphorescent compounds that store energy from light and gradually release it. Lead-based paint is also largely nonexistent today.
The Phosphorescent Rat was created on 1974-01-03.
Several moments after exposure to an ultraviolet light, a phosphorescent mineral will glow.

Shining with a phosphoric light; luminous without sensible heat., A phosphorescent substance.
My mother thought it was disgusting when fireflies ran into the windshield, but I thought the phosphorescent smear was magical. It reminded me of the phosphorescent colors on my black light posters back in the 70s.
