This paper mainly studies the preparation technology and properties of energy-storing luminescent plastic. The colorless and colored energy-storing self-luminous plastics were prepared by using epoxy resin as the carrier, adding long-acting noctilucent powder into epoxy resin to fully mix and adding phenol-4-sulfonic acid to cure. Their properties were analyzed. The color, hardness and luminescence spectral characteristics of the energy-storing self-luminous plastic were measured, analyzed and studied. The results showed that the red luminescence performance of the energy-storing self-luminous plastics prepared by a certain process had a good degree of recognition, and the amount of long-acting noctilucent powder also had an influence on the hardness of the energy-storing self-luminous plastics. The more the addition, the higher the hardness, the better the luminescence effect. Although the luminescence plastic with pigment could present a certain color performance in the daytime, it had a certain masking effect on the luminous intensity of the energy-storing self-luminous plastics at night.
