Do You Feel Like You Could Do Something with This?
Here’s a product to whet your entrepreneurial appetite.
A company in Russia, Luminophore, has developed a powder which glows strongly in the dark and are looking for ways to exploit its qualities.
It is a fine-grained, non-toxic powder which absorbs energy from natural or artificial light and glows strongly afterwards. Eight hours of “charging” by exposure to light will enable it to glow for eight hours, they say.
As Luminophore is safe it can be used against the skin as in eyeshadow or nail polish and for silk screening designs on T shirts or even for sprinkling on cut flowers to provide an interesting effect at night.
Here is a list of suggested uses from Luminophore:
“The usage of luminophore’s properties in interior design is a very interesting option, as the results are only limited by your imagination. Many surfaces can be lent this luminescent effect: metal, wood, brick, concrete sand, cement, façade tiles, gypsum board, polystyrene and others. Artificial and natural decorative stones also look very impressive. Making patterns and paintings on the walls and ceilings of the interior, as well as detailing furniture (chairs, tables and bars) is also possible. In addition, you can create a “starry sky” on your bedroom ceiling, luminescent patterns on the baseboard and doorframe floor molding and cues on electric switches, etc.
You can use luminophore in information systems as well (“highlighting” indicators, the exterior of advertising vehicles, information signs, and building exteriors. This option also allows you to save on energy consumption).
I understand that Luminophore is looking for entrepreneurs to use the base powder and develop products for the market.
Most of the suggested uses are a bit too novelty-like for me and if I were to consider this I would look for industrial uses first. Still, you never know, if you developed, branded and marketed your own label of “Wheel Glo Paint” it could take off… and take you with it.

This sounds like a very promising additive for a product i’m working on currently. I have looked on the web for a way to get a sample here in America but have had no luck finding a retailer. If I could obatain a sample for a compatibilty analysis I would be greatful. This product could appeal to a large market that we are involved with.
Thanks,
Sam.

Hi,
I am looking for the opportunity to distribute glow in the dark products in the UK. The last year I have spent in conversation with China and have got no where. Could you provide a little more information on your product for example – does it meet BS, and EU standards?
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,
