High-intensity, persistent photoluminescent formulations and objects, and methods for creating the same

A method for creating a photoluminescent object, the method comprising:

• obtaining a preformed article;
• and
• applying to the preformed article at least one photoluminescent formulation to result in a photoluminescent layer, wherein the at least one photoluminescent formulation comprises:
• an effective amount of at least one phosphorescent material,
• at least one liquid carrier medium,
• at least one polymeric resin,
• at least one formulation stabilizing additive comprising at least a rheology modifier, said at least one formulation stabilizing additive being dissolved in said at least one liquid carrier medium, and another effective amount of a fluorescent material,
• wherein the at least one phosphorescent material is substantially uniformly distributed within the at least one photoluminescent formulation, an emission spectrum of the at least one photoluminescent formulation prior to the addition of the fluorescent material constituting a primary emission;
• the primary emission resulting in a perceived color.
