A New Glow in the Dark
This amazing stuff glows on its own. Its dirt cheap to make and lasts up to 12 years!
GlowPaint glow-in-the-dark paint company, MPK Co., has come up with self-luminous micro particles called Litrospheres™ which they say are inexpensive, non-toxic, and will stay on for 12+ years (half-life point) continuously—without having to be plugged into any power source. It is a betavoltaic technology, using a radioactive gas, whose “soft” emission of electrons from the beta emitting gas cannot penetrate the glass or polymer wall of the microspheres.
The Litrospheres™ are not affected by heat or cold, and are 5,000-pound crush resistant. They can be injection molded or added to paint. The fill rate of Litroenergy micro particles in plastic injection molding material or paint is about 20%. The constant light gives off no U.V. rays, and can be designed to emit almost any color of light desired.
Thanx for this article. First time I’ve ever heard of this. The article says you can read by the light of this stuff. Where are the eco/energy-nuts on this?
