Proton Purple. A rich neon that blazes under UV light.
Proton Purple is a vivid purple neon pigment that brings intense colour to all your projects. This radiant pigment from our Neon Series is ideal for creative applications, where it stands out from every angle and adds a unique touch. Use Proton Purple in a wide range of DIY projects such as epoxy resin, slime making, homemade bath bombs or jewellery making.
One pigment, four crafts.
Mica doesn't argue with the material — the same jar colours epoxy, soap base, wax and acrylic medium.
Resin: river tables, jewellery, pen blanks
0.5–1 g/kg for a translucent effect, ~3 g/kg for a full pearl. 1-5 μm particles stay evenly dispersed in the mix.
Soaps & candles
CP soap: 2 teaspoons per 450 g of oils. MP base: ½ teaspoon per 450 g. Candles: 5–10 % of the wax weight.
Acrylic pouring
~1 teaspoon per batch of pouring medium; disperse the pigment in varnish first. Also suitable for plastisol (fishing lures). The manufacturer does NOT recommend it for car paints — low UV resistance.

Great for hair too! — „I use it to touch up roots between colourings — it's cosmetic grade. It wipes off the skin with a dry cloth, off surfaces too, it doesn't stain anything. A big upgrade to my colour care!“
Marie HerndonBarney on a trip!! Ha!! — „A great and fun colour. It works as a nice matte in combination with pearl shades — the purple then stands out even more. I used it in small river coasters and in woodturning.“

Frequently asked questions
How much pigment should I add to epoxy?
From our hands-on practice: 0.5–1 g per kg of mix for a translucent effect (river, sea water), ~3 g/kg for full colour, 5 g/kg for opaque coverage. Always mix it into a small amount of resin first, then into the rest.
Will the pigment sink in a deep pour?
Proton Purple has 1-5 μm particles that stay evenly dispersed in the mix. Only coarse pigments with 200–700 μm particles (e.g. flakes) can sink — letting the resin thicken slightly or stirring the mix during the process helps.
Which resin is it suitable for?
Any epoxy resin. For crystal-clear castings in which the pearl stands out, we recommend the systems DIPON LuminaCast — Ocean Flow for river tables, Gem Flow for jewellery.
Does the neon pigment glow in the dark on its own?
No — neon UV pigments are not photoluminescent. In daylight they give a rich neon colour and under a UV (black light) lamp they glow intensely; in complete darkness without a UV source they do not glow. For glowing in the dark, go for the Glow in the dark series.
Where does neon stand out most?
In clear resin, on a light background and anywhere UV light reaches — bars, party decorations, fishing lures or safety features.
Is it suitable for car paint?
No — for this series the manufacturer explicitly advises against use in car paints ("DO NOT USE"): the pigments have low UV resistance. For car paints, go for the Solid Pearls pearlescent series or the Colorshift and Ultrashift series.
