Light-converting material comprising a barium magnesium silicate as additive

摘要

The invention concerns a light transforming material, in particular for greenhouse walls, comprising as additive a barium and magnesium silicate of formula Ba_3(1-x)Eu_3xMg_1-yMn_ySi₂O₈, wherein 0x≦0.3 and 0y≦0.3and 0y=0.3. The material is capable of transforming solar energy of UV range into a red light. The material can also be used in paints and cosmetics.
