Abstract
Yttrium-containing phosphors can be stabilized for use in an aqueous slurry containing a binder, which slurry can be used for coating fluorescent lamps by treating with ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and ammonium hydrogen difluoride to inactivate free yttrium ions. The resulting aqueous slurry is stable and provides coated fluorescent lamps having uniform coatings that are bright and long lasting.
