Glow-in-the-Dark Rubber

Custom Rubber Corp., together with Preferred Rubber Compounding, developed a unique blend of urethane and photo-luminescent pigments to create a moldable material that glows in the dark. The material has excellent abrasion resistance and is approximately 70-80 durometer on a Shore A scale. The sample pictured is a doorstop, but the material could be molded into any shape, and could be bonded to a metal or plastic insert if required. (Continued below.)

(ref:105225)

The level of photoluminescence depends on how heavily the compound is loaded with the pigment, but initial trials suggest that the glow slowly dissipates but is strong for about 4 hours with even trace amounts of "glow" still remaining after 6-7 hours. The application potential for this material has not yet been fully tested.

If you have a part that's function may be enhanced if it glowed in the dark, contact Custom Rubber Corp.
