What types of powders show up very brightly under a UV light? I am working on a theft detection issue, but commercial powder products are very overpriced and hard to find without mail order. I was hoping there was something mundane to be used instead. Note: inks and liquids will not work for my situation.What powder substances luminece under a Black Light?
Laundry detergent powder often fluoresces a bright white/blue. Glow-in-the-dark powder is a bit more expensive, but very bright (and available in many colors). There are also many minerals that do this, but they are usually uncommon enough to be too expensive for such a use.

what do you know same problem huh?? yes most atp,s Anti theft powders you have to order and in most cases you need the problem solved quickly.
ReplyDeleteso first vitamin a or b- 12 i recomend b-12 crush it up into a fine powder make sure 12 b 12 is white tablet . this has a yellowing color under black light. but does not bond very well to things so you need a bonding agent. baby powder which bonds to just about everything. and it flources a light blue under black light. mix the 2 together mostly baby powder (make sure you get a black light to test it) so you can adjust the brightness. oh by the way im assuming your wanting to trace IE someone stealing something at a source to the person by transferability. and baking soda works and a birghtener like oxyclean. id use the b- 12 but you can play around to see if you can get minor trace with just regular flouresent (office lights) but they may notice too
