Description

Allureglow HSA Glow-in-the-Dark Water-Based Screen Printing Ink Key Features:

Allureglow USA HSA Glow-in-the-Dark Inks are premium high-solids acrylic (HSA) water-based screen printing inks engineered for bold, long-lasting photoluminescent effects on garments. In normal daylight, these inks look and feel exactly like a standard water-based color print with an ultra-soft hand. Turn off the lights and the print emits a bright, sustained glow that fades gradually over time and recharges with any exposure to UV light, sunlight, or artificial lighting.

The HSA formula is PVC-free, ready-for-use straight from the container, and delivers excellent printability through 90-200 mesh screens without viscosity modifications. The high-solids acrylic resin system provides outstanding wash durability and fabric adhesion on 100% cotton and 50/50 cotton-poly blends. For polyester, nylon, Lycra, and other synthetic or stretch fabrics, add AG-CLA100 Low Cure Additive at 1.5% by weight to lower the cure temperature to as low as 280°F and improve adhesion to non-cotton substrates.

Each color has a specific daytime appearance and a specific glow color. Some match (Green prints green, glows green) and some transform (Black prints black, glows green; White prints white, glows aqua). This dual-personality effect creates dramatic visual impact — a standard-looking print by day becomes a glowing design at night.

Available colors include Green (glows green), Blue (glows blue), Pink (glows pink), Orange (glows orange), White (glows aqua), Black (glows green), Red (glows red), Yellow (glows yellow/green), and Purple (glows purple). Quart and gallon sizes available.

HOW TO USE

  1. Screen Setup: Use 90-200 mesh depending on the color and glow intensity desired. Lower mesh (90-110) deposits more ink for a stronger glow. Higher mesh (156-200) produces finer detail but a thinner deposit with less glow intensity. Use water-resistant emulsion for best results.
  2. White Underbase on Dark Garments: A white underbase is required on all garment colors except white. Without it, the garment dye absorbs the photoluminescent energy and dramatically reduces glow intensity and longevity. Print white underbase first, flash cure, then print the glow color on top.
  3. Ink Preparation: Mix thoroughly before use. Photoluminescent pigments are heavier than standard pigments and settle to the bottom of the container during storage. For long print runs, remix the ink periodically to maintain consistent glow intensity throughout the run. Keep lids on containers when not in use to prevent drying and contamination.
  4. Print Technique: Use a heavy flood coat and light-to-moderate squeegee pressure with a 70-75 durometer squeegee. A thick, even ink deposit is critical for maximum glow intensity. The more ink deposited, the brighter and longer the glow. Consider a print-flash-print double hit for maximum glow on dark garments.
  5. Curing: Cure at 320°F (160°C) for 2-3 minutes. Minimum cure is 90 seconds at 360°F. Airflow is critical — open dryer gates and ensure proper ventilation to allow steam to escape. If your conveyor dryer does not have forced air, open gates as high as possible. Always test dryer temperatures before and during production.
  6. Synthetics & Low Cure: Add AG-CLA100 Low Cure Additive at 1.5% by weight for polyester, nylon, Lycra, and stretch fabrics. This lowers the cure temperature to as low as 280°F and improves adhesion on non-cotton substrates. If using AG-CLA100, wait 48 hours after curing before wash testing.
  7. Cleanup: Soap and water. Remove ink from screens immediately after printing is completed. If ink dries on the screen, use a water-based ink cleaner or reclaimer.
  8. Garment Care: Wash inside out in cold water on the delicate cycle. Do not use bleach. Do not iron directly on the print. Line or hang dry for best long-term durability.

WHY SCREEN PRINTERS CHOOSE ALLUREGLOW HSA:

Screen printers choose Allureglow HSA over competing glow-in-the-dark inks for several practical reasons. First, it is a true water-based ink with a soft hand feel that is indistinguishable from a standard water-based print in daylight. Competing glow inks (especially plastisol glow inks) tend to feel thick, rubbery, and raised on the garment because they require a heavy ink deposit to achieve glow. Allureglow HSA delivers the glow effect while maintaining the soft, breathable finish that customers expect from modern water-based printing.

Second, the HSA formula is PVC-free, which matters for screen printers serving brands with sustainability requirements, children’s apparel compliance (CPSIA), and eco-conscious consumers. Many competing glow plastisol inks contain PVC, phthalates, or other restricted substances.

Third, the dual-personality color effect (standard color by day, glow by night) creates a premium upsell opportunity. Printers can charge a significant premium for glow-in-the-dark apparel because the perceived value is dramatically higher than a standard print, while the production workflow is nearly identical to printing any other water-based ink.

Fourth, the ink is ready-for-use with no additives or catalysts required on cotton and cotton blends. The AG-CLA100 additive opens up synthetic and stretch fabrics, giving printers versatility across their entire garment inventory without switching ink systems.

Fifth, the glow effect recharges indefinitely. Unlike one-time novelty effects, photoluminescent pigments absorb and emit light thousands of times without degrading. Prints will glow after every light exposure for the life of the garment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does the glow last?

The glow is brightest immediately after light exposure and gradually fades over several hours. After a full charge from UV light, sunlight, or bright artificial light, expect a visible glow for 4-8+ hours depending on the ink color, deposit thickness, and ambient light conditions. Green glow colors typically last the longest.

Does the glow effect wear out over time?

No. Photoluminescent pigments recharge indefinitely. The glow effect will work for the life of the garment as long as the print is properly cured and maintained. Each light exposure recharges the glow.

Do I need a white underbase?

n white garments, no. On every other garment color — yes. Without a white underbase, the garment dye absorbs the photoluminescent energy and the glow will be weak and short-lived. Print white, flash, then print glow on top.

Can I print on polyester and performance fabrics?

Yes, with the AG-CLA100 Low Cure Additive at 1.5% by weight. This lowers the cure temperature to 280°F and improves adhesion on synthetics. Wait 48 hours before wash testing when using AG-CLA100.

What mesh count should I use?

90-200 mesh. Lower mesh = thicker deposit = brighter glow. Higher mesh = finer detail but less glow intensity. For maximum glow, use 90-110 mesh with a heavy flood and double hit.

Is this ink PVC-free?

Yes. Allureglow HSA is a high-solids acrylic (HSA) water-based ink. PVC-free. Suitable for children’s apparel and environmentally conscious production.

What is the difference between HSA Glow and DC Series Discharge Glow?

HSA Glow is a standard water-based glow ink that works on cotton, blends, and synthetics (with AG-CLA100). It requires a white underbase on dark garments. DC Series Discharge Glow is a discharge ink that chemically removes garment dye on dark 100% cotton — no underbase needed. DC gives the softest hand feel; HSA gives the broadest fabric compatibility.

Can I mix glow colors together?

Yes. Allureglow HSA colors can be blended to create custom glow shades. The daytime color and glow color will both be affected by mixing.

How do I get the brightest glow possible?

White underbase on dark garments. Lowest mesh count practical (90-110). Heavy flood coat. Print-flash-print double hit. Thick, even ink deposit. Cure fully at 320°F for 3 minutes. Green glow colors produce the brightest and longest-lasting glow.

What is the shelf life?

Store at room temperature (65-95°F) away from direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly sealed. Remix thoroughly before each use. Shelf life is approximately 12 months when stored properly.
