text: The revitalised Stax label kicks off its 2009 with some exciting releases – old and new. First off there’s a brace of ISAAC HAYES’ reissues – ‘Black Moses’ and ‘Disco Freak’. ‘Black Moses’ was originally released in 1971 – the high watermark of HAYES’ musical career and the new issue comes fully remastered and with extensive liner notes from ROB BOWMAN… but will the CD pack be able to recreate that magical, fold out, cross-shaped sleeve? ‘Disco Freak’ dates from 1976 and was originally released on HAYES’ own label Hot Buttered Soul which was distributed via ABC; this is the album’s first full CD release. Keeping it brand new now, Stax stalwart STEVE CROPPER joins with (YOUNG) RASCALS main man FELIX CAVALIERE to release ‘Nudge It Up A Notch’ – a refreshing 12 track collection recorded down in Nashville where both CROPPER and CAVALIERE now reside. All three albums are released at the end of March.

- Delhi assembly elections: Not freebies, fruits of honest governance, says CM Arvind Kejriwal
Amid a political slugfest over “freebies” being offered to Delhiites, chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said that BJP was opposing free water, electricity, medicines, bus ride and education. BJP national general secretary Anil Jain had on Friday shared his plan with the media to kick off a campaign ‘Dilli Ka Swabhiman’ (Delhi’s self-respect) to counter AAP’s campaign on free amenities.
- A large chunk of voters consider freebies an important incentive for voting, finds survey
The survey, covering over 2.73 lakh voters interviewed between October and December 2018, revealed that more than 40% voters consider distribution of cash, liquor and freebies as an important factor behind voting for a particular candidate. 36.67% felt that people vote for candidates with criminal background because they are unaware of their respective criminal records.
- Sarkar controversy: Let people decide on if they want freebies or not, TN minister says
Tamil Nadu food minister R Kamaraj on Thursday said people who act and make films for commercial gains have no legitimate right to say what people should do and what they should not do. The minister was reacting to a scene in Vijay-starrer “Sarkar” where people are shown burning freebies offered by government.

From “Off the Menu: Staff Meals from America’s Top Restaurants” by Marissa Gugggiana.
This dish is from Siren Hall in Elk Rapids, Mich.
This recipe utilizes the trim from a pork-tenderloin dish on Siren Hall’s menu and could also be made from other trim you have on hand–any strips of meat that are suitable for stir-frying. This staff meal was so lauded by the crew, it ended up on the menu. The lime juice adds a treble note to make the dish sing.
Serves 4 to 6
- 2 tablespoons finely julienned fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon sliced fresh garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into strips
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 medium head bok choy, finely sliced
- 1 to 2 red bell peppers, julienned
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce
- ¼ cup chicken stock
- ½ cup peanuts, toasted and crushed
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cups cooked basmati rice
- ½ cup finely sliced scallions
- Soy sauce, optional
- Sriracha or hot chili sauce, optional
1. Stir the marinade ingredients together in a bowl. Add the pork and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
2. Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the 2 tablespoons canola oil. Add the pork, with marinade, and sauté 1 to 2 minutes, stirring often. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Add the bok choy and red pepper and sauté 3 to 5 minutes, until the pork is just cooked through and the vegetables are still crunchy. Add the hoisin sauce and enough stock to make a nice consistency. Do not cook hoisin too long, or it will become overly rich and salty. Add the crushed peanuts and toss quickly to combine. Adjust the seasoning.
3. Place stir-fry on a bed of the basmati rice laced with the scallions. Serve with soy sauce and sriracha on the side.

In front of the Hall sensor is introduced according to the Hall effect of the magnetic field sensor, its main characteristic parameters are the following categories. (1) input resistance Hall sensor element two excitation current side of the DC resistance is called the input resistance. Its value from a few Europe to hundreds of Europe, depending on the type of components may be. The temperature increases, the input resistance becomes smaller, so that the input current becomes larger, eventually causing the Hall sensor potential changes. In order to reduce this effect, it is preferable to use a constant current source as an excitation source. (2) Output resistance R The resistance between the two Hall sensor potential outputs is called the output resistor, and its digit is the same order of magnitude as the input resistance. It also changes with the temperature change. Choosing the appropriate load resistance is easy to match, allowing the drift of the water potential caused by the temperature to be minimized.

Musical instruments have been around for hundreds of years, if not millennia, and they come in a huge array of different types and styles. There are woodwind, brass, and string instruments not to mention the percussion section with its vast selection of drums, cymbals, and objects that make crashes and bangs.

It is popular because it is cheap for a beginner to pick up and once you have learned the skills you can progress to some of the larger instruments in the brass family such as the trombone or tuba.

Contraception is the use of hormones, devices or surgery to prevent a woman from becoming pregnant. It allows women to choose when and if they want to have a baby.
The male condom is the only type of contraception that also protects men and women from sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
There are several types of contraception (see useful links below) which work in different ways.
- Male and female condoms create a physical barrier against sperm.
- Hormonal methods for women, such as the contraceptive pill, prevent the release of an egg from the ovaries and change the environment of the womb to prevent pregnancy.
- Contraceptive devices, such as the IUD (intrauterine device), are placed in the womb and prevent pregnancy by releasing copper or hormones into the body.
Before recommending a contraceptive, your GP will assess your age, medical history and sex life. Some contraceptives have possible side effects and it is important to consider these when deciding what sort of protection to use.
You may need to change your contraception as you get older, after having children or if your sex life changes in any way.
How effective are contraceptives?
How effective contraceptives are depends on your age, how often you have sex and whether you use the contraceptive properly. Many contraceptives are over 99% effective if used correctly.
The womb (also known as the uterus) is a hollow, pear-shaped organ in a woman where a baby grows during pregnancy.

Months ago, Mitt Romney and his campaign team adopted a curious strategy. Hoping to undermine President Obama, Republicans would elevate former President Clinton, giving him unrivaled credibility and stature, as a way of positioning him as the good Democrat, as compared to that rascally Obama.
As was clear last night in Charlotte, Romney's plan was a spectacularly bad idea.
I suspect the only person in the arena who didn't enjoy the Big Dog's tour de force was the one trying to operate the teleprompter -- Clinton had a prepared text, but he largely ignored it. The speech was nearly twice as long as it was intended to be, and long portions of it were entirely extemporaneous, which only made it more impressive.
What made Clinton's speech so exceptional? First, for all the assumptions that the public will not tolerate and has no appetite for substance, Clinton proved the cynics wrong -- his remarks were incredibly policy focused, not only in heralding Obama's underappreciated achievements, but also in taking the GOP vision apart, one issue at a time. The former president is in a league of his own when it comes to making wonky details accessible and easy to understand.
Whereas Republicans treated voters like children last week, building whole days around out-of-context quotes and shallow platitudes, Clinton spoke to Americans like adults, respecting us enough to assume we'd understand. It was a triumph for facts and reason.
Second, after a week in which the chatter has been over how to respond to (and whether to ask) the are-you-better-off-than-you-were-four-years-ago question, Clinton seemed to put the matter to rest entirely, delivering a forceful response that made the answer obvious.
In the same breath, he summarized the entire Republican message in a devastating soundbite: "We left him a total mess. He hasn't cleaned it up fast enough. So fire him and put us back in."
Third, I was struck by Clinton's ability to excite the Democratic base with a bipartisan message. He reminded the audience about the virtues of "compromise," about Obama's commitment to "constructive cooperation," and even had the convention goers cheering one of George W. Bush's more admirable successes (PEPFAR). Indeed, Clinton had more positive things to say about Bush than Republicans did.
It created a contrast with the Tampa convention that reinforced the notion that the parties are in competing, alternate universes -- one where the parties can and should work together to advance the nation's common interests, and another where compromise must be avoided at all costs. The floor in Charlotte cheered the very idea of "constructive cooperation" -- would GOP delegates have done the same?
For independent voters who say they're desperate to see more policymaking and less partisan gridlock, the message wasn't exactly subtle: Democrats agree with you.
As became obvious as Clinton's speech soared, there is no one in the Republican Party who can compete at this level, and it's only going to get worse for the challengers -- Clinton dazzled last night, but Americans will also see him in campaign ads and on the campaign trail. Bush and Cheney are hiding, but the Obama campaign will deliberately keep Clinton in the spotlight.
Team Romney helped build up Clinton's credibility. Now they're paying the price.

Mequon bodycam shows SWAT officer shot, killed Pietro La Licata after he shot at neighbor & officers
Newly released body camera video shows a shootout between Mequon police and a homeowner.
It happened May 17 at a home near Riverland and Bonniwell roads.
A police officer shot and killed the homeowner. The Ozaukee County district attorney said the officer was justified.
In the video, two Mequon police officers responding to a residence on Bonniwell Road are seen taking shelter behind a tree.
"He's at the rear of the residence. Looks like he's got a gun in his hands. He's coming out," an officer said in the video.
Investigative reports say the officers responded to the home of Pietro La Licata after he reportedly shot at his next-door neighbor who was mowing their lawn.
The reports say soon after police arrived, La Licata stepped outside and shot at officers.
A report by the Ozaukee County district attorney said police told a neighbor to stay in their home during the incident.
That neighbor declined to talk to WISN 12 News Tuesday.
According to the report, it's not the first time police have been called to La Licata's home.
The report reveals a lengthy history between law enforcement and La Licata.
The district attorney says police records show 27 calls for service to La Licata's home over the past 40 years.
The neighbor La Licata shot at told investigators he'd been acting increasingly paranoid,
accusing the neighbor of spying on La Licata with secret cameras and threatening other neighbors, sometimes firing his gun outside.
In one of the body camera videos, one of the officers can be heard asking for permission to shoot La Licata.
The officer killed La Licata in one shot.
The officer who fired the fatal shot had been on administrative duty. WISN 12 News is working to confirm when he or she returns to full duty.


•Expressing his full support for the AfCFTA, President Ruto emphasized Kenya's readiness to integrate Africa's financial sector and expedite the operationalization of policy and research development initiatives.
•AfCFTA Secretary General Wamkele Mene said that under Ruto's leadership Kenya has become a very important destination for import and export.
President William Ruto has reiterated the importance of intra-African trade in the continent.
In his keynote address, while visiting the Africa Continental Free Trade Area Secretariat in Accra, Ghana on Wednesday, he stated that the intra-African trade is currently at low levels compared to other regions.
"Intra-African trade is at an alarmingly low 15 per cent compared to the European Union's over 70 per cent or North American Free Trade Area's 59 per cent," Ruto stated.
The Head of State also highlighted the efforts being made to address this disparity, with regional economic blocs and initiatives like the AfCFTA playing crucial roles.
"The good news is that something is being done. Africa's regional economic blocs are increasingly trading with and among themselves, with the East African Community leading the way," Ruto added.
The Head of State acknowledged that continentally, the African Union has set up AfCFTA as a flagship agency of AU's Agenda 2063, and whose mandate is to further trade integration in the continent and eliminate trade barriers.
Expressing his full support for the AfCFTA, President Ruto emphasized Kenya's readiness to integrate Africa's financial sector and expedite the operationalisation of policy and research development initiatives.
"Africa is well poised to be a single market that is globally competitive," he noted.
President Ruto was warmly welcomed by the AfCFTA Secretary General Wamkele Mene.
Secretary General Mene commended President Ruto for his exemplary leadership, particularly in advancing inclusivity and economic integration across Africa.
"President Ruto has demonstrated commendable leadership in ensuring progress on the continent, especially in matters about inclusivity in integrating our economies," he added.
Mene said that under Ruto's leadership, Kenya has become a very important destination for import and export.
As a result, the SG noted that AfCFTA shares Ruto's commitment to creating inclusive benefits of a national economy and to creating opportunities for SMEs and for the youth.
"This is why we are taking concrete steps to make sure that the Protocol on Digital Trade and the Protocol on Women and Youth in Trade, are fully implemented resulting in an inclusive economy, inclusive trade, eliminating barriers to trade for young people in Africa as well as SMEs," Mene added.
The African Continental Free Trade Area is a game-changing initiative that creates a unified market for goods and services across the African continent.
It also aids in the movement of goods and services across the African continent without restrictions.
The AfCFTA is the world's largest free trade area bringing together the 55 countries of the African Union (AU) and eight Regional Economic Communities (RECs) to create a single market for the continent.
This is President Ruto's first visit to Ghana since he took over the presidency in September 2022.
On Wednesday, Kenya and Ghana signed seven agreements aimed at enhancing bilateral ties between the two countries.
President Ruto said the MoUs, including some signed by business associations from Kenya and Ghana, are aimed at facilitating trade and investment between the two nations.
Other MoUs include cooperation in science and technology, tourism, education, governance and defence.

Summer Dangers: Poisonous Plants and Allergies in Cats and Dogs
Poisonous plants for dogs and cats
As summer finally arrives the risk to our pets from poisonous garden plants and wildflowers increases. There are a huge number of poisonous plants and flowers, so always check the label when buying at the garden centre. Poisonous garden plants have a ‘skull and crossbones’ on the label.
Oleander is a popular choice for Mediterranean style gardens with its scented flowers. Sadly, it is highly toxic to pets and eating just one leaf could cause heart problems, seizures, and death.
Foxgloves are a classic early summer cottage garden plant, but these contain digoxin which can cause a rise in heart rate. Foxgloves can also be found in the wild, so take care on dog walks. Another popular plant containing the same poison is Lily of the Valley.
Beautiful Monkshood flowers are at their best in July and August, but all parts of the plant are poisonous to dogs and cats.
Lilies are best avoided in the garden if you have a cat as all parts are poisonous and cats can be affected from licking pollen from their fur.
Euphorbias (spurges) contain a sap which can cause skin and eye irritation and would hurt a pet’s mouth if chewed. Spurge grows wild as well as being a popular garden plant.
Many other plants and flowers are listed as being toxic; from rhododendron and hydrangea to tomatoes and all members of the onion family (including ornamental onions). Most will cause mild symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhoea.
On your dog walk watch out for deadly nightshade, water hemlock and lords and ladies, as all of these are poisonous plants. Later in the summer keep your dog away from giant hogweed. The sap of this plant is highly irritating.
If you see your pet ingesting a plant, try to interrupt them and remove any material from their mouth. Take photos of the plant so you can identify it; there are phone apps which can help with this. If you think the plant may be a poisonous plant, contact your vet immediately for advice. Washing their mouth with tepid water can be helpful to reduce further ingestion.
What to avoid on your dog walks
Rapeseed: dangers to dogs
Oilseed Rape needs little introduction. The bright yellow plants are a common sight in the countryside in late spring and early summer. Many footpaths pass through rape fields and it is possible that this plant could cause problems for your dog.
Rape is a member of the mustard family and contains chemicals that can be irritating to the eyes and skin. There have been reports of dogs developing skin wounds from the sharp rape pods. Rape can cause allergic skin reactions and breathing problems in dogs, and rape is a common factor in human hay fever.
Eating any part of the rape plant can be irritating to the digestive system and may result in vomiting or diarrhoea.
Despite recent social media fears about rape being a killer plant for dogs, the Veterinary Poisons Information Service (VPIS) says most cases of adverse reaction to rape are mild.
Avoid any danger from oil seed rape by keeping your dog on a lead during summer walks through farmer’s fields. This will not only protect them from potential poisonous plants but also from any chemicals that may have been sprayed onto the crop. It will also prevent contamination of future food with dog faeces.
If your dog becomes ill after a summer walk, try to remember what plants you have passed as this information may help the vet treat your pet.
Grass seeds: dangers for dogs
Grass and grass seeds present a danger to dogs and cats as summer progresses. Some types of grass have sharp awns with barbs on, which can catch in a pet’s fur. This type of grass is often called a ‘foxtail’. As the pet moves the grass seed jiggles towards the body. These sharp awns can get into the ears, between the toes, up the nose, and in through the mouth.
Grass seeds in the ears usually cause an instant reaction from the dog. The dog will shake their head, rub the ear on the ground, and may yelp in pain. You must seek veterinary help as soon as possible to prevent the seed penetrating the ear drum. Sedation is usually required to remove the seed.
Grass seeds up the nose cause acute sneezing. If the dog can’t sneeze the seed out it may cause a nosebleed, bacterial infection, or even a fungal infection. Grass seeds can be inhaled into the lungs causing severe damage. You must seek urgent veterinary help if you suspect an inhaled grass seed.
Grass seeds can push through the skin and continue to migrate. This commonly causes an abscess that may burst, heal, but then come back again. Common sites for grass seed abscesses are the feet, legs, and around the head. Grass seeds can also migrate into the body and can become lodged in the organs. Diagnosing and treating the internal abscesses they cause can be difficult and costly.
Try to avoid grass seeds causing misery for your dog by avoiding long grass in late summer. If you must cross a hayfield keep your dog on a lead and avoid running or ball games, which make inhaling a grass seed more likely. Keep the underside of hairy ears trimmed and remove the fuzzy hair from between your dog’s toes. After a summer dog walk through fields make sure you brush your dog thoroughly with a fine-toothed brush or comb to remove seeds.
Grass also presents a danger as dogs and cats love to chew it. This can cause them to be sick, but grass can also pass through the intestines and create a hard to pass faecal mass. If your pet has grass sticking out of their bottom, use a glove or poo bag and pull it out gently and slowly. If the grass doesn’t come away easily seek veterinary help. Chewed grass can also become entrapped around the soft palate, particularly in cats, causing a coughing fit. Offering a small amount of soft food may shift the grass, otherwise removal under sedation is required.
Summer allergies in cats and dogs
Hay fever ruins the summer for many humans, but pets can also be affected by pollen allergies. In cats and dogs, pollen is more likely to cause a skin reaction than sneezing.
Dogs and cats who scratch mostly in the summer are likely to be allergic to grass and weed pollens, though there may still be some tree pollen about.
Skin allergies present as scratching, rubbing, biting, and licking. Pets may become grumpy due to a lack of sleep. These symptoms can also be seen with summer infestations of fleas, so comb through the coat and make sure you are using an effective and safe flea control product.
Some cats and dogs will suffer from allergic rhinitis due to pollen and may sneeze, cough, or become lethargic when the pollen count is high.
Pollen is difficult to avoid but you may want to avoid dog walks when the pollen count is high, keeping doors and windows closed so less pollen enters the house, and rinsing your pet off after a walk. If you live by the sea, try a beach dog walk! Bedding should be washed more often to remove the build up of pollen, and you may want to consider a low pollen garden.
Vets can offer a range of treatments for summer pollen allergies if the pollen proves impossible to avoid.

So it’s mock season boys and girls, and I figured I would show the results from my latest mock draft. This specific draft was all done via twitter entitled “#Rapidpick” or “#Rapidmock” so if my and my peers flooded your twitter stream, sorry!
But right here are the results to who I had the Bengals taking. (I went with the Blaine Gabbert Scenario)
1 Blaine Gabbert – QB – Missouri
2 Adrian Clayborn – DE – Iowa
3 Will Rackley – OG – Lehigh
4 Quinton Carter – S – Oklahoma
5 DeMarco Murray – RB – Oklahoma
6 Austin Pettis – WR – Boise State
7A Korey Lindsey – CB – So. Illinois
7B Alex Henery – K – Nebraska
So in a quick summary of what happened. I drafted Gabbert the QB most list as the true #1 QB. Clayborn a DE from Iowa who shouldn’t have fallen out of round 1. The #3 Guard Rackley on most boards, who is an immediate starter. Quinton Carter, a guy who most say he’s the #2 safety in the draft and is a late 2nd early 3rd at worst. Oklahoma running back DeMarco Murray in the 5th round, who’s valued at a early 4th at worst. Boise State’s Pettis who is a solid possession WR who may be a great “second banana” WR. Lindsey another “smaller” school guy who could compete for a nickel spot, and may evolve into a starter. Then last but not least, the best kicker in the entire draft Alex Henery, a kid who can punt and kick (doing both well).
So when drafting I kept the following things in mind for this scenario.
- Mike Brown will address QB in round 1 if he can.
- Cedric Benson is not coming back.
- Michael Johnson is becoming a SAM LB.
- Rey is being moved to MLB.
- Shipley, Gresham and Simpson are in fact “passable” as a WR corps.
- Clint Stitser isn’t the answer, and Nugent can’t stay healthy
On a semi separate note, my Bengals dozen has been postponed (I’ll release mutliples on a few days no worries). I have had some things come up in my family, so the time I would’ve spent writing up scouting reports, I was with my family handling business. But No worries though for those who were enjoying the series, all 12 will be released by draft day!

Leon County slips in health rankings
Leon County is no longer one of the top 10 healthiest counties in Florida, according to the 2015 County Health Rankings Health Gaps Report released Tuesday by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute.
The report made its findings based 30 factors that contribute to how long and how well people live, and found that in Florida, opportunities for health vary widely from county to county. Leon County is ranked 12th in overall health outcomes out of 67 counties. The next highest ranked county in the Big Bend is Wakulla, which is ranked 34th. Franklin is 48, Jefferson is 57 and Gadsden is 61.
“There are many influences on health — economic, behavioral, social, environmental and clinical,” said State Surgeon General and Secretary of Health Dr. John Armstrong. “Good jobs are critical for health. Health is everyone’s business, and we are collaborating with employers, educators, urban planners, and the food industry to reshape the places where we live so that healthy choices become the easy choices.”
In March 2015, Leon County was ranked ninth in the annual report. With the new data including various health gaps, the county dropped a couple spots in the updated rankings.
“The differences in health that this report and the annual County Health Rankings identify are the result of systems, policies, and choices that consistently benefit some people over others,” said Bridget Catlin, PhD, co-director of the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps. “Data from the County Health Rankings can aid states in their efforts to improve health.”
According to the report, health gaps are caused by factors such as: unemployment, kids living in poverty, high school graduation rates, violent crime rates, high school graduation rates, severe housing problems, long commutes to work, and people under 65 without health insurance.
Despite Leon's slight slip in the rankings, the report highlights the differences in positive health outcomes among the Big Bend counties.
"The Health Gaps Report points out the significant gaps in opportunities for good health among counties in Florida and among counties within every state." said J. Page Jolly, public information officer, Florida Department of Health in Leon County. "The Florida Department of Health in Leon County is committed to working with community partners to improve health factors and health outcomes."
According to the report, If the health gaps were closed, nearly 8,000 premature deaths in Florida could be prevented annually. The report defined deaths before the age of 75 as premature.
“Everyone in our country, no matter where they live, should have a chance to be the healthiest they can be, and right now they don’t,” said James S. Marks, M.D., RWJF's executive vice president. “By highlighting the gaps and the opportunities for people to reach maximum health potential, state and community leaders can help build a culture of health for all.”
The rankings are available at www.countyhealthrankings.org.

There are many ways to enhance the décor of walls with accessories, but glow in the dark paint for walls offers imaginative and creative opportunities. Whether fluorescent or phosphorescent, the paint can be used for murals, stars, signs, or to accent walls and accessories. Some accessories fade out or become worn in days, months, years, or decades, so how long will glow paint last?
Unopened glow in the dark paint may last for 3 to 5 years. On a wall, it may radiate luminously for up to 10-years, or even 12 if protected with a clear sealer. Fluorescent paint will glow as long as a black light shines on it, while phosphorescent glows after dark for 3 to 4 hours or more.
In this article, we’ll discuss glow in the dark paint and how it works. Explain the difference between fluorescent or black light paint and phosphorescent paint, and what to consider when buying luminous paint. We look at some safety concerns, review some products, and identify how to make glow paint at home. By the end of the article, you will have a better understanding of luminescent paint and how long it will glow.
What Is Glow in the Dark Paint?
Glow in the dark paint has been around for hundreds of years. It was initially developed into a paste or paint from minerals or phosphors with luminescent qualities. Phosphors are used in pyrotechnics, safety matches and military applications, and have become popular with the general public for its glow in the dark abilities.
Phosphorescent or luminous paint commonly contains rare earth phosphors of strontium aluminate or silver activated zinc sulfide. The naturally occurring minerals only glow in shades of green, yellow, and blue. Other colors that glow in the dark can be produced but are expensive and don’t glow as long. An inexpensive and broader spectrum of colors is created when fluorescent dyes are added to one of the three natural shades to tint them.
Fluorescent phosphors are both natural and synthetic in makeup. They are commonly used in television screens, monitors, fluorescent lights, plastics, and paint. They must be energized to glow; otherwise, they are invisible. Fluorescent paint is also known as black light paint and requires a black light source for it to glow.
The finely ground glowing phosphorus material is granular in comparison to the fluorescent dyes. The paint is created by blending the glowing granules and dyes in a clear liquid base. The glow granules are suspended in the paint, and trap or absorb sunlight and glow in the dark.
The color our eyes behold is the emitted light returning through the fluorescent dye. UV rays energize the luminescent phosphors, the dye is not. The granules will glow in the dark until the charge slowly wears down as they lose their brightness.
Glow in the dark or phosphorescent paints use UV rays to recharge and will glow in the dark without the use of black lights, although they may also show up under black light. Fluorescent paints, however, only work when a black light is shone on them; they do not glow in the dark. Fluorescent glow in the dark paint contains both fluorescent and phosphorescent particles.
How Does Glow in the Dark Work?
Phosphors are found in various rare earth minerals and exhibit phosphorescence. They absorb and store ultraviolet (UV) rays or electromagnetic radiation. The stored energy causes the particles to emit an eerie glow in the dark.
The colors they naturally produce depends on the mineral composition, but are limited to different shades of blue, green, and yellow. Strontium aluminate or silver activated zinc sulfide is commonly used today in glow in the dark paints.
The phosphors are ground into a granular phosphorescent powder and blended into paint. The grains don’t dissolve; they are suspended in the paint and sealed onto walls and other surfaces in thin layers of paint film. If the pigment layer is too thick, like regular paint, the UV rays won’t be able to penetrate and charge the phosphors.
The phosphors are activated by UV energy, so either a UV light or sunlight. Regular lamps often don’t have enough UV to charge the phosphor particles. The particles need 3 to 4 hours of exposure to a UV source to store the energy to glow in the dark.
Fluorescence and phosphorescence are not the same. While both are photoluminescent and absorb energy which excites atoms to produce light, the length of time they hold the energy differs greatly. Phosphorescence occurs when phosphors absorb and store electromagnetic radiation, which they emit hours later in the dark.
Fluorescence will also glow but require an active electromagnetic source like a black light. As long as the light is on, fluorescence will glow, turn the light off, and they disappear.
How Long Does Glow in the Dark Last?
Phosphorous paint has a shelf life of three to five years in an unopened can. Glow in the dark paint will last up to 10 years on properly prepared surfaces, and 12 years if a sealer is used to keep the phosphors from deteriorating. When it starts to fade or will no longer recharge and glow, the paint can be reapplied or touched up.
The length of time luminous paint will glow each evening will depend upon the quality of the paint, how long it receives daily UV exposure, and how thickly it was applied. Some luminescent watch dials will glow 12 hours or more, and some struggle to last an hour. The same is true for paint applied to walls.
Quality of the paint base, pigments or dyes used, and the parts per ounce of phosphors affect how long and bright the glow lasts. The thickness is also important; however, two or three thin coats are better than one thick coat. Phosphors require UV rays to charge, the better the source, the better the illumination.
Sunlight is best to energize glowing paint for walls, but as it moves or dusk sets in, the particles begin to glow. Unfortunately, it may not be dark enough to see the light being emitted until full dark. Sunlight, UV black lights, high wattage incandescent lamps, and some LED lights will produce enough charge to keep the glow long after dark.
It is common for phosphors to glow between 3 and 4 hours when exposed to sunlight (UV) for that length of time. Most artificial lighting doesn’t produce much UV, so that they won’t energize the phosphors very much. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions on the paint container for painting instructions and charging methods.
Is Glow In The Dark Paint Safe?
Glow in the dark paint for rooms have luminescent properties. Historically, the iridescent green, yellow, and blue glow paints did contain radioactive elements that were a health risk. Modern glow in the dark paints and products for civilian use no longer use radioactive material.
Glow paint for walls today is safe for use on children’s bedroom walls and other surfaces, but like most paints, it shouldn’t be ingested. Additionally, as with other paints, good ventilation, eye protection, gloves, and a mask are recommended.
There are also phosphorescent and fluorescent body paints, nail polishes, and make-up products that are safe for occasional use. They are for special occasions and events such as Hallowe’en, and not recommended for daily use. Non-toxic glow in the dark fabric paint is also available and safe for use on children’s clothing, and there are glow paints and pens for art projects too.
Best Glow in the Dark Paint for Walls
There are many high-quality glow in the dark wall paints on the market today. They range from phosphorescent or fluorescent to a blend of both. Some are water-based and others solvent-based, and while most are brush-on, aerosol sprays are available. Selecting what will give the best glow for kids’ rooms or home projects can be confusing; here are some glow paints we feel are best.
SpaceBeams Aurora Glow in The Dark PaintSpaceBeams Aurora glow paint produces a bright fluorescent green glow in the dark and is soft pale green in the light. Use it on fabric, wood, painted surfaces, metal, plastic, and other surfaces. For best results, use on white surfaces, and use thicker applications for brighter results.
The non-flammable paint will glow all night when exposed for a minute or less to UV light. Use it indoors or out; however, use a clear coat of varnish to protect the paint outdoors. Additionally, you get free lifetime access to exclusive stencils.
Black Light Acrylic Fluorescent Wall PaintsEnhance your home décor or dark walls in your business with these eight neon fluorescent wall paints handcrafted in Germany by Neon Nights. They are formulated to glow brighter and longer under black lights or UV lamps but react poorly under LED-UV lights. It even produces a subtle daylight glow.
Use on walls, ceilings, floors, and accessories. For best results indoors or out, use over a white primer, or use multiple coats on other wall colors. Apply a clear top coat if used outdoors. These do not glow in the dark, and shouldn’t be used on fabric or as body paints.
DayGlo Fluorescent Enamel PaintThe 9 fluorescent paint colors and specially formulated topcoat sealer are available in quarts or gallons for large applications. They are ideal for wall murals, 3D signs and images, and safety applications. The paints are highly visible and produce a vibrant glow under black light and even in daylight.
Apply to walls, floors, and ceilings over a good oil-based primer and use the clear top coat over DayGlo paints in outdoor or high traffic applications. Colors may paint on in one tone and dry to another but will show their true vivid colors under black lights.
Rust-Oleum 1932830 Fluorescent SprayThe 11-ounce aerosol alkyd matte paints are available in five glowing fluorescent fast-drying colors. Use on wood, metal, plastic, cloth, or concrete for safety applications, marking items, color coding, or stenciling.
For the best color glow, use over flat white primer or paint.
The paint is interior-exterior and should be used in well-ventilated areas while wearing a mask and eye protection. The bright, vibrant colors improve visibility and work well for hunting, marking tools and equipment, and making signs more noticeable.
What to Consider When Buying Phosphorescent Paint?
Phosphorescent paint glows in the dark paint; it is not fluorescent paint. It requires UV light from the sun or a UV lamp to charge the phosphors, so they glow in the dark, but don’t require black light to be visible after dark.
What the Paint Is Going to Be Used For
Stars or castles that are invisible in the light, but glow after dark require a clear binding agent, as do signs or markers. A colorful wall mural that is visible in the light but glows after dark in muted colors requires a blend of glowing phosphors and fluorescent pigments. Indoor or outdoor applications are other considerations, as are long-term or temporary, and even the choice of body-paint.
Paint Quality and Color
Shades of blue, green, and yellow phosphors occur naturally, other colors require a fluorescent pigment to be added. The fluorescent pigments are only visible after dark when the charged phosphorescent particles emit light through them, or when a black light is shone on them.
Select a paint that has a high particle count per ounce of light-emitting rare earth metals like strontium aluminate or silver activated zinc sulfide. The aluminate glows longer and therefore is more expensive than the sulfide.
The third point to consider is the amount. For small surfaces or stars, an ounce or two is all that is required, while decorative applications may require a pint, quart, or a gallon. It is important to note that multiple thin layers are better than one thick layer, so you may need more paint than expected.
The following are points to consider but don’t necessarily have an ‘order’ to them.
- Find out what artificial light source is recommended for charging the phosphors. Some paint charges under LED-UV light, and some need incandescent or fluorescent UV light to charge if sunlight isn’t an option.
- Check to see how long the glow lasts and how bright or intense a glow it emits. You may need to buy a small amount and test it if the information isn’t available.
- Identify what materials the paint can be applied to and if there is any prep work needed – such as a white flat primer.
- A brush applies most phosphorus paints, check if other applicators like squeeze bottles or sponges can be used. Aerosol cans are another option if available.
- Find out what color the paint goes on, what it looks like on a surface when dry, and what its glow color will be, so there are no surprises.
- Determine if it is water, oil, or solvent-based paint. Some bases are more toxic than others and require more ventilation and safety precautions. Water-based is more versatile and can be used on most surfaces.
- For long-lasting or permanent GLOW, use a waterproof acrylic paint, and for temporary applications, use water-based products that will wash off easily.
- Safety considerations are another consideration when selecting any paint. Find out if you need to purchase gloves, a mask, or eye protection.
- The final consideration is how to remove glow in the dark paint that no longer glows, or it’s time for a change. You can scrape it off if it’s small. For large applications like murals, you’ll need to paint the surface with a good primer and two or three coats to prevent the phosphors from receiving any UV charge.
How to Use Glow in the Dark Paint on Walls?
Once you’ve purchased the glow in the dark paint for your project, you have to apply it. Different methods depend on the size, location, and complexity of what you plan to illuminate. Additionally, the effect you want determines the method of application. Here are some tips for applying glow paint to walls and accessories.
- Light-colored or white backgrounds will produce a brighter glow than black or dark walls.
- Two or three thin coats are better than one thick coat. Let each coat dry before applying another layer. You want to add more phosphor particles to improve the glow. If the paint is wet, you risk removing them from the previous layer. If you’re in a hurry, use a blow dryer on low to speed up the process.
- Use a small painter’s brush for detailed work and apply it in thin coats. Brush from the middle to the edges to avoid thick edges that may glow brighter than desired.
- Many phosphorescent paints go on clear, which makes it difficult to know if you have the paint where you want it. Use an ultraviolet flashlight or black light to ‘see’ what you’re doing.
- Use stencils or painters tape to block areas or shapes for painting.
- To add glowing high-lights to wall paintings or other pictures, freehand brush-strokes mimicking the original are best.
- Use fluorescent glow in the dark paints for more color choice. They often go on clear but additional layers provide more fluorescent pigment, so a muted color will show up in daylight.
- To create a starry night or on a ceiling or wall, dip the tips of a stiff bristle toothbrush into the glow paint. Hold the brush perpendicular to the surface and an inch or two away, and draw your thumb down the bristles. Use stencils to add larger stars or constellations, or dip a toothpick in the paint and color in larger stars. This will also create a 3-D effect with the larger stars seeming to be closer than the small spatter stars.
- If you wish to create clouds or shadow letters or images, lightly dip the edge of a sponge into the color of choice and gently dab it where you want clouds. Go over letters or the lines of images in the same way to produce a shadow effect.
- Use other glow colors and application methods for different effects. Put some luminescent paint in a squeeze bottle, refillable tubes, or paint pen to draw patterns, lines, or add detail.
- To paint a large surface or wall, use a standard brush or roller to apply the paint. For murals or small detailed work, use small artist brushes.
- Apply GLOW paints with aerosol spray cans for broad coverage, stencils, or to coat accessories using thin layers.
- Phosphors need UV rays to charge, so outdoor use is perfect, or indoors where sunlight can charge the glow particles for 3 to 4-hours. UV lights are another way to charge the phosphors too.
- Paint surfaces to be visible after dark like curbs, trip hazards, sidewalk edges, and low hanging head banging items. Paint rocks as outdoor décor, or as path guides to buildings, the fire pit, or outhouse. Paint lawn sculptures or ornaments, Hallowe’en and Christmas decorations, or other seasonal items.
Glow in the Dark Paint DIY
You can buy luminescent paint in many stores or online, or save a few pennies and make DIY glow in the dark paint at home for different occasions. To make any paint glow in the dark, purchase phosphorescent powder from a craft store, hardware store, or online. It is available in different pigment colors and texture compositions. Make sure the powder is compatible with the paint you wish to use – water-based or oil-based.
The powder packs combine phosphors with fluorescent colors. The fluorescent color may be more visible in daylight but will glow under black light. The phosphors, however, will soak up UV rays and glow on their own after dark.
As they shine through the fluorescent color, they highlight and radiate that color. Applying the paint on a white background will also make them brighter.
Use a finely ground powder for a smoother finish as larger granules may create a rough texture and speckled appearance. The powder doesn’t dissolve but stays suspended, so it needs to be thoroughly mixed with the paint. The more powder used, the more vibrant the color and better the glow.
If you want the design to be invisible except in the dark, use a clear-coat or gel for the transfer fluid. Remember, two or three thin coats are better than one thick layer.
Most powders work well with a water-based tempera or acrylic paint for colorful applications. The paint is visible in daylight, and the crystals glow through at night. Follow the manufacturer’s directions for mixing, commonly a 5:1 ratio of paint to powder.
Phosphors can be mixed into any color of paint and painted directly on walls, and other surfaces but commonly are used in wall murals or signs to illuminate or highlight features when the lights go out.
Black Light Paint
Fluorescent or black light paint only glows under UV light. When the lights go out, they don’t glow in the dark. There are several ways to make fluorescent paint that will glow under UV or black-lighting. You can also make visible fluorescent paint or invisible/transparent fluorescent paint.
Using Fluorescent Powder
Visible black light paint is a blend of colored fluorescent powder crystals and water or oil-based paint of a similar color. The instructions commonly call for a 1 to 10 ratio but check those provided with the powder. You may want to lid the mixture and shake it for uniform consistency.
Transparent or invisible fluorescent paint uses the same color pigment powder crystals used in the visible paint, but are blended into a clear paint or sealer. Use more pigment powder for greater color display under UV or black-lighting. The color is invisible in daylight; however, on a white background, pale coloring may occur with the third coat of paint.
For example, mix 1-ounce of luminous powder with 10-ounces of well-stirred paint. If you’re doing a mural or décor that requires multiple colors, prepare them at the same time. Use an appropriately sized brush to apply the paint in thin layers. Use a black light or UV flashlight to check out your progress or finished work.
Using a Highlighter
Select the color(s) of highlighter you need, and pull out the felt strip. Immerse the ink strip in a small bowl or jar of water. Work the color out of the strip, and discard the felt. Dissolve white cornstarch in the liquid until the mix has the consistency of water paint.
Add a drop or two of food coloring to get the desired tone. The fluorescent particles in the highlighter ink will activate when a black light is shone on it.
Some powder laundry detergents have phosphorescent bluing particles to help brighten clothes. Sprinkle some powder in a bowl or on a serviette, darken the room, and shine a black light on the powder. If it contains fluorescent particles, they will glow. You may need to try several different detergents.
Stir a tablespoon of detergent into a cup of water-based paint. Shine the black light on the mixture, if there isn’t much of a glow, stir in more detergent. Record how much detergent per cup of paint, so you can make it again, or make larger batches.
Apply the paint to fabric or surfaces as desired. This is temporary black light paint as the detergent will wash out. However, the paint pigment may not wash out.
To make a clear temporary paint, mix the detergent in water and brush it onto clothes, surfaces, and even skin. Wash or wipe it off with water or a damp cloth. Always test body paint on a small skin surface first, if there is any reaction, wash off with water, and don’t use it.
There are different qualities of glow in the dark paint. High-quality phosphorescent paints will glow 10-hours or longer when charged. Fluorescent paints will radiate light as long as a black light or UV light shines on it. In daylight, phosphorescent paint charges and is invisible, while fluorescent will have brilliance not visible under regular lighting.
I hope you have a better understanding of what glow in the dark paint is, how it works, how to apply it, and how long it may stay luminous. If you found this article interesting or of value, please share it with others. Your comments and suggestions are always appreciated.

Musical bridge from Cuba*
HAVANA TIMES, Jan. 12 – Amaury Perez is an emblematic figure of Cuban song. A composer par excellence, as he himself said several years ago, “I don’t consider myself a singer, I just sing the songs I write because I need to.”
Amaury began his career immersed in the Nueva Trova Movement, from which he was marginalized for a while. Those were difficult times for him, and though he “stopped writing and performing publicly,” he didn’t resign from his vocation.
He is the son of two notable figures of Cuban culture: his father was Amaury Perez, a prominent worker at the Cuban Institute of Radio and Television (ICRT), and his mother was the actress and television host Consuelo Vidal.
He started at the bottom as an assistant sound engineer at the Cuban Film Institute (ICAIC), which was long before recording his first solo album: “Acuerdate de abril” (Remember April).
The 1990s left Amaury with a harvest four albums, among which were the outstanding and very popular “Encuentros”, and “Eternidad” with poems by Dulce Maria Loynaz set to music. Since the end of that decade he also dabbled as an actor in a few Cuban films.
September 20, 2009 was a memorable day in the life of this singer-songwriter. This was when took place the concert “Paz sin fronteras”(Peace Without Borders), in which he not only participated, but also coordinated much of it with his friends Juanes and Miguel Bose.
It’s said that his CD “No lo van a impedir” (They Aren’t Going to Stop It) “is a masterpiece of music, 100 percent perfect, with the participation of the group Synthesis, which give it an impressive musical touch.”
His discography includes the albums Acuerdate de abril (1976); Poemas de Marti cantados por Amaury Perez (1978); A pesar del otoño, creceremos (1979); No lo van a impedir (1979); Abecedario (1982); Caricias (1985); Mitades (1985); De vuelta (1987), Estaciones de vidrio (1989); Confesiones (1990); Encuentros (1993); Retratos de navidad (1994); Licencias de otoño (1996), Amor dificil (1998); Equilibrio (1999); Eternidad (1999); Solo en Septiembre (2000); Algo en comun (2001); Muy personal. 30 años de canciones; Trovador (2003); Juglar (2004), Los duos (2006); Aguas revisitadas (2007), and Bardo (2009).
“Hacerte venir” (Making You Come to Me)
CD: Amor dificil
If I could carry you away hidden to wherever I go / and give you all the rain of a gray day, / make you fall in love whispering / when not even the wind could hear me, / if I could, from where I am … / make you come to me.
If I could find room and love you here, / disrobing the many hours of quietness, saving the immensity of that scent / the end of January still to come, / if I could, from where I am … / make you come to me.
If I could make haste and see the ocean, / outlining the unreality of your existence, / gathering breath and loneliness / when what is forgotten must leave.
If I could from where I am, / Oh my love, make you come to me / to light up the city and the sun / with gestures of a storm, / if I could, from where I am / hurriedly returning to the sea.
If I could drown the wind, the dampness, / offering to save the kiss I chose, / to feed the clarity of hope, / still unstained, if I could from where I am … / Make you come to me.
If I could drown thirst, age / your voice, to again win your love / with what is left to say, / in one fell swoop to unite my anxiety / with the soft curve of your feelings.
If I could, from where I am, / Oh my love, make you come to me / there would be no burning to overcome, / or bandoliers of consent; / if I could, from where I am, / Oh my love, make you come to me / to light my fire of dignity, / to lose the place for pretending.
If I could, from where I am, / Oh my love, make you come to me, / to have your mouth and your heart / when the desire makes me want to boil; / if I could, from where I am, / Oh my love, make you come to me / if I could, from where I am , / and love … make you come to me!
This song is not only a superbly written poem — without smudges or seams, though with much sweat — it is also rich in sensitivity. The author was in his twenties when he composed it. The song embodied his views and his feelings about love and distance. He spoke of the presence one achieves by being loved when they are far away.
Those were times of great passion, marked by the separation of perhaps thousands of parents from their children as the adults marched off to fulfill international missions in countries such as Angola, Nicaragua, Ethiopia, etc.
But all of that, though it was in his consciousness, or perhaps in Amaury’s subconscious, remains in the background. Here, the artist is responsible for maintaining us in a state of levitation, one in which all the words, verses, prayers seem to have fallen from heaven itself. They become timeless, thus achieving a truly universal condition.
Though it is sung with intensity, an intensity with which the lyrics imply, I particularly enjoyed the lyrics of this topic more when I read them. Was it because this was more of a poem than a song? We know that most members of the different generations of Cuban trova have talent as poets. This is one of the main features of the movement.
This is “Trilce” (bitter sweetness), as the poet Vallejo would say. This song strikes me as “Trilce.”
(*) A Musical Bridge from Cuba: This is an effort to find new bridges that promote communication between peoples of the diverse regions of the planet. I will be using simple narration in a series of articles to connect with those who are interested in the messages transmitted by Cuban songs, which due to their limited commercial potential and the difficulties posed by their translation, languish in a state of communicational stagnation – despite their being true jewels of Cuban culture.


Never mind that May is still firmly spring in most people’s minds: we are launching the Summer of Directors, a series of podcasts, each of which is dedicated to one particular director, and we’re doing so with an episode dedicated to two-time Academy Award winner Jane Campion, who first took the little statuette home for her original screenplay for The Piano (1993) and, more recently, as the director of The Power of the Dog (2021). We’ll be looking at those two films in particular, focusing on the ways in which Campion portrays and questions gender roles. How does Holly Hunter’s Ada McGrath make her way in 19th century New Zealand as a woman displaced in many ways? How does Campion portray male and female modes of communication? And how do we read that marvellously ambiguous ending? Moving on to The Power of the Dog, we look at different kinds of masculinity – and how Campion’s film may have unusual, fascinating things to say about what kind of masculinity is finally more resilient. Join Matt, Julie and Sam as they explore all the black and white keys on Jane Campion’s keyboard and all the kinds of music she elicits from them!

Nulon Red Premium Long Life Coolant 100% Concentrate (RLL) provides the ultimate anti-freeze/anti-boil and corrosion protection for most late model vehicles, including petrol, diesel and heavy duty diesel applications. Red Long Life Coolant incorporates the most up to date Organic Additive Technology (OAT) carboxylate corrosion inhibitors. Red Long Life Coolant is nitrite and amine free to meet US requirements, phosphate free to meet European requirements and silicate free to meet Japanese requirements. Nulon RLL's carboxylate inhibitor package is more stable and stays in solution better than traditional coolants. This provides an extended shelf life of 8 years. Nulon RLL will not form solids inside cooling systems, or become abrasive to water pump seals. All of this means that RLL provides maximum corrosion and anti-freeze/anti-boil protection for up to 8 years or 500,000 km, (whichever comes first).
Nulon Red Premium Long Life Coolant 100% Concentrate is the preferred coolant to use in cooling systems that are fitted with aluminium radiators. It is a genuine 100% OAT based, long life coolant. RLL is dyed its distinct red/orange colour to instantly distinguish its unique chemistry from traditional green coolants. It should not be mixed with other coolants. As it is a concentrated coolant, it is to be used at 50% by volume in soft or demineralised water. Nulon RLL provides maximum protection against cavitation erosion of wet cylinder liners in diesel engines. Red Premium Long Life Coolant 100% Concentrate is not recommended for use in cooling systems that have a copper/brass radiator (in such vehicles, use Nulon LL, which is green). If changing from any other coolant to Red Premium Long Life Coolant 100% Concentrate, always thoroughly flush the system first as cross contamination will reduce the life of Red Premium Long Life Coolant 100% Concentrate.
Nulon RLL is recommended for use in all vehicles that use a red or orange coloured coolant. Nulon Red Premium Long Life Coolant 100% Concentrate is principally designed for use where OAT coolant is required. It is particularly suited for use where AS/NZS 2108.1:2004 Type A, GM6277M or Toyota TSK2601G specifications are cited. Use in all cooling systems as a replacement for any red/orange coloured coolant. Among specific makes of vehicles that use red/orange coolant are Ford Falcon EA - EF, Holden Gen 3 & Gen 4 V8's and Alloytech V6, all Toyota models, Audi (some models), VW (some models), Jeep (most models), Chrysler (most new imports have red), Isuzu trucks, Daihatsu cars and trucks and Caterpillar.
Recommended step-by-step guide for changing all concentrated coolants
Note: This check sheet should be used as a guide only. Some vehicles may have special requirements that are not noted above. We strongly advise that you read your owner's manual or relevant workshop manual before proceeding with a coolant change.

No, it is OK to use. Dye is added to coolant for identification purposes. The dye used to colour the coolant, green, red, etc can be affected by sunlight and age but this does not effect the performance of the coolant.
Yes it is suitable but often more expensive than demineralised or deionised water.
Nulon coolants do have a shelf life. Nulon Green Premium Long Life Coolant 100% Concentrate (LL) and Green Premium Long Life Coolant Premix (LLTU) have a shelf life of three years. Red Premium Long Life Coolant 100% Concentrate (RLL), Blue Premium Long Life Coolant 100% Concentrate (BLL), Multi-Vehicle ONE Coolant 100% Concentrate (ONE) and Super Heavy Duty Diesel Coolant 100% Concentrate (HDDC) have a shelf life of five years.
Ethylene glycol is a product used in automotive coolants to give the coolant a lower freezing point and higher boiling point. This allows vehicles to operate in sub zero climates and also allows engine coolants to reach higher temperatues before boiling.
We show you how to change your vehicle's coolant in this easy step by step video.
Nulon shows you how to change your vehicle's coolant in an easy step by step process.
All you need to do this is: car jack, jack stands or ramps, screwdriver, socket or spanner, drain plug washer, oil drain pan, some rags, container for the used coolant, Gloves and Nulon Long Life Coolant.
In 1977 an Australian Standard was created to help regulate the quality and performance of automotive coolants in the Australian passenger car and light commercial market. The current standard is known as AS2108-2004. Type A coolants are antifreeze/antiboil coolants with corrosion inhibitor that comply with the requirements of this standard. Type B coolants are coolants with corrosion inhibitors only that comply with the requirements of this standard.
Tap water quality can vary widely depending on your location. It is best to use demineralised or deionised water (Radiator & Battery Water (RCSW)), as tap water contains chemicals and minerals which can affect the performance of the coolant.
It is best to use deminalised or deionised water. Uncontaminated rain water is OK but if collected from roofs and gutters it can contain impurites which may affect coolant performance. Metal roofing materials, concrete roof tiles and tanks, dirt and dust, all contaminate rain water. These conatanimants have an adverse effect on your vehicle cooling system.
Yes, coolants that contain ethylene glycol are poisonous. If ingested it affects the central nervous system and can cause death. Nulon adds a bittering agent to its coolants that contain ethylene glycol to prevent accidental ingestion from children or pets. Help can be sourced via Poisons Information Centre : Australia phone 131 126, New Zealand phone 0800 764 766
Most modern cars run their cooling systems at temperatures close to 100 degrees celsius. The bonus of using the antifreeze chemical (glycol) in coolant is that it also raises the boiling point. This gives protection against localised or hot spot boiling which can cause engine damage.
While not essential we recommend using Radiator Flush and Clean (R40) to remove insulating built-up sludge and residue before changing coolant in any cooling system.
No, coolant colour alone does not specify the chemical technology of the coolant. It is important to note that when coolants of different technology are mixed the performance is compromised.
Internal combustion engine generate large amounts of heat. "Coolant" simpy means a liquid that provides temperature-transferring properties. In an automotive cooling system it is required to transfer heat from the engine whilst protecting the engine from corrosion (i.e. rust) and erosion which can be caused by fluid movement. Many automotive coolants also have added chemicals to extend the operating temperature range of the fluid. These are known as antifreeze/antiboil coolants.
Soft water, demineralised and deionised water are terms used to describe water which has low levels of dissolved mineral salts and ions of such metals as calcium, iron, or magnesium.
Using the correct type of coolant is essential. The Nulon Lube Guide can provide a guide to you coolant requirements. If directions of use are followed correctly Nulon coolants will protect the system from corrosion for the recommended life of the coolant.
These abbreviations refer to the technology used in the corrosion protection component of a coolant. IAT is Inorganic Additive Technology (often termed Conventional Technology), OAT is Organic Additive Technology, and HAT is Hybrid Additive Technology. To determine the best technology option and the preferred coolant for your car refer to the Nulon Lube Guide instore or online.
This depends on the type of coolant your car requires and the climate extremes that your vehicle will operate in. Consult the Nulon Lube Guide for the suitable coolant type, consult your vehicle handbook and follow directions of use on label to determine the required ratio.
Contact your local waste facilities or environmental protection agency. Used coolants can contain environmentally unfriendly materials that have originated from the engine cooling system and need appropriate disposal. Do not drain used coolant onto the ground or into storm water.
The best answer to this question can be found in the Nulon Lube Guide, also available in store.
