Glow With Allied Concrete's READY Glow Luminescent Aggregate Concrete

Allied Concrete's READY Glow can be used to add unique design elements and adds a functioning, self-powering renewable light source for any type of decorative concrete application.

Exposure to 40 seconds of direct sunlight produces an afterglow of over 15+ hrs. (Halogen and fluorescent lights produce glow too!)

Where to use it

  • Driveways and pathways
  • Interior floors
  • Patios
  • Pools and pool surrounds
  • Hardscaping and landscaping
  • Fireplaces
  • Kerbs
  • Stairs
  • Safety in low light areas

Benefits of READY Glow

  • Self-functioning light source

Material Profile

READY Glow is a high performance, non-toxic, photo luminescent aggregate specifically formulated for use with decorative concrete.

Non - radioactive

  • Non-toxic and safe for use in all types of environments.

Outstanding luminosity

  • Exposure to 40 seconds of direct sunlight produces an afterglow of over 15+ hrs.
  • Exposure to daylight (indirect sunlight) for 8 minutes produces an afterglow of up to 15+ hrs.
  • Exposure to artificial light such as Halogen or Fluorescent for approximately 10 - 30 minutes produces an afterglow of up to 15+ hours.

Performance

  • The luminosity of the aggregates is dependent on actual particle size and can reach an initial intensity burst of 3612 mcd/m2 @ 1 minute and then begin degrading once removed from light source.

Stability of physical and chemical properties

  • READY Glow works between +500 degrees Celsius and -30 Degrees Celsius.
  • It is resistant to high and/or extended exposure to ultraviolet radiation and does not discolour under 300-watt high mercury lamp or 1000 hours at 35 Degrees Celsius -40 Degrees Celsius, 80% humidity.
  • READY Glow is unaffected by most chemicals and performs even in the worst outdoor conditions.
  • Ready Glow stones DO NOT expand or contract in concrete or any other substrate.
