Long lasting thermoformable phosphorescent acrylic resin for casting, molding, coatings, and adhesives

A thermoformable, phosphorescent acrylic resin composition comprising:

• Methylmethacrylate (MMA) within a range of from 8-77.76 weight percent;
• Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) within a range of from 9.74-27.9 weight percent;
• an air release agent within a range of from 0.1-0.5 weight percent;
• fumed silica of approximately 1 weight percent;
• antioxidant comprising mono methyl ether of hydroquinone (HQMME) of approximately 0.25%;
• and
• alkaline earth metal phosphorescent aluminate oxide pigment within a range of from 1-10 weight percent;
• said thermoformable, phosphorescent acrylic resin composition being formed by mixing said PMMA into said MMA at room temperature until said PMMA is dissolved, adding said antioxidant, air release agent, fumed silica and phosphorescent aluminate pigment, and mixing under high shear to form a thixotropic resin in which said phosphorescent aluminate pigment remains in suspension, whereby said composition is suited for use in thermoform and thermoset solid-surface acrylic resin products with a glow-in-the-dark property.
