Variant namesCompany founded in 1946 by Robert and Joseph Switzer, who developed ways to make photoluminescent paints and dyes. These paints and dyes were used by the military to mark airplanes as well as uniforms, and to detect flaws in airplane engines and other parts. They were also used extensively in the graphic arts industry, for product advertising and packaging.
