Strontium aluminate is an aluminate compound with the chemical formula SrAl 2 O 4 (sometimes written as SrO·Al 2 O 3). It is a pale yellow, monoclinic crystalline powder that is odourless and non-flammable.
Strontium aluminate is frequently used in glow in the dark toys, as it is chemically and biologically inert. [69] Strontium salts are added to fireworks in order to create red colors. Strontium carbonate and other strontium salts are added to fireworks to give a deep red colour. [70] This same effect identifies strontium cations in the flame test.

LSAT is the most common name for the inorganic compound lanthanum aluminate - strontium aluminium tantalate, which has the chemical formula (LaAlO 3) 0.3 (Sr 2 TaAlO 6) 0.7 or its less common alternative: (La 0.18 Sr 0.82)(Al 0.59 Ta 0.41)O 3. LSAT is a hard, optically transparent oxide of the elements lanthanum, aluminium, strontium and tantalum.
Electrons within the pigment are being "excited" by ultraviolet light exposure—the excitation wavelengths for strontium aluminate range from 200 to 450 nm electromagnetic radiation—to a higher energetic state and after the excitation source is removed, fall back to their normal energetic state by releasing the energy loss as visible light ...
One of the more common persistent after-glow phosphors besides copper-doped zinc sulfide is europium-doped strontium aluminate. [57] Europium fluorescence is used to interrogate biomolecular interactions in drug-discovery screens. It is also used in the anti-counterfeiting phosphors in euro banknotes. [58] [59]
November 1917 ad for an Ingersoll "Radiolite" watch, one of the first watches mass marketed in the USA featuring a radium-illuminated dial. Radium was discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie in 1898 [1] and was soon combined with paint to make luminescent paint, which was applied to clocks, airplane instruments, and the like, to be able to read them in the dark.
