What does the particle size have to do with anything?

The larger the particles size the brighter and longer the glow. Our clients use the smaller particle size when the process of manufacturing dictates that need. SUNLITE ships only the largest particle size unless a specific request is made. If you are screen printing or have settling problems a smaller particle size might help.
