Abstract
A process is disclosed for producing a europium activated strontium borate phosphor having a strontium containing coating. The process involves washing a europium activated strontium borate phosphor with a solution of strontium hydroxide to produce a first washed phosphor followed by removing the first washed phosphor from the resulting wash solution. The first washed phosphor is washed with a wash solution selected from the group consisting of ammonium fluoride in alcohol, ammonium bifluoride in alcohol, and a strontium salt in ammonium hydroxide, followed by removing the resulting second washed phosphor from the resulting wash solution. The second washed phosphor is then heated to produce the coated phosphor.
