AGT Glow Sand

by Universal One Corporation · Canada · PLA755 · Published 03 Oct 2013
About this material

AGT Sand is an encapsulated photo-luminescent pigment which has been specially designed for use in concrete, epoxy and other water-based matrices. It features the highest luminosity and glow duration, in its class, in the world.

The sand comes in two different sizes, both 20-40 mesh, which is a coarse grain, and 350 mesh, which is a fine grain. It is neither toxic nor radioactive, and does not shrink or contract under external influence. Its luminosity duration is rated at over 15 hours, with a luminosity life time of over 20 years. The glowing sand comes in three colours, sky blue, aqua blue and safety yellow.

The material can be mixed into a concrete surface sealer, or mixed with epoxy resin, plaster and so on.
