The glow granules are made of crushed synthetic resin with a phosphorescent pigment bound into it. They absorb light and release it in the dark as a green glow – without electricity and as often as you like. Green is the base shade of glow pigments and glows most brightly and for the longest time.

Properties

  • Material: crushed synthetic resin with bound-in glow pigment (strontium aluminate doped with europium and dysprosium)
  • Grain size: 4–8 mm
  • Afterglow duration: up to 12 hours after full charging in complete darkness; at its strongest in the first few minutes
  • Colour: light yellow-green by day, green in the dark
  • Water: thanks to the resin binding, resistant to water and solvent-based liquids
  • Temperature: can be processed up to approx. 300 °C

How to use the glow granules

You can scatter the granules loosely, glue them on or embed them in a clear carrier such as epoxy and casting resin, clear varnish, glue, wax, silicone or plaster.

  • Loose as decoration: in garden gravel, flower pots, vases or lanterns.
  • Setting on top: press the grains only lightly into the setting surface of paint, resin or concrete so that they do not sink.
  • Concrete, paving, joints: press the grains into the still damp surface and sand flush after curing – or embed them in a transparent, walk-on layer of epoxy or exterior varnish.
  • Outdoors: work with solvent-based, weatherproof carriers and choose a spot that gets light during the day.
  • The clearer and lighter the carrier, the stronger the glow.

What's included

100 g glow granules green, grain size 4–8 mm, in a poly bag.

Good to know

Afterglow is an aid to orientation and a visual effect, not a light source: it becomes visible in real darkness, hardly under a street lamp. After 1–2 hours the glow fades to a glimmer. The granules are a craft material, not a toy.

Frequently asked questions

How long do the green granules glow?
Up to 12 hours after full charging in complete darkness. They are at their strongest in the first few minutes; after 1–2 hours the glow fades to a glimmer that remains visible for a long time to eyes adjusted to the dark.
Can the granules go in water, for example in a vase?
Yes. In the 4 mm grain size, the pigment is bound in synthetic resin, which makes it resistant to water and solvent-based liquids. The finer 1 mm granules are different: they are not waterproof, gradually dissolve in water and lose their glow in the process. In water, the 4 mm granules sink.
Can I work the granules into concrete, paving or joints?
Mixed into the compound, they achieve little because the concrete covers the grains. Better: press the granules into the still damp surface and sand flush after curing. Or, after curing, apply a transparent, walk-on layer of epoxy or exterior varnish and embed the granules in it.
What is the difference from the 1 mm granules?
The 1 mm granules are finer and suitable for stirring into casting resin, varnish or glue. In the 4 mm granules the pigment is bound in resin: they glow about as brightly as glow powder, are resistant to water and are well suited to scattering and as a visible grain.
Is the material radioactive?
No – like all modern glow pigments. The glow comes solely from stored light.
