Characterics of Luminescent Aggregate in Paver Application

  • Luminescent products are best used in total darkness or near darkness. If they are near other light sources, the luminous effect will be muted due to the eye’s adjusting to the adjacent higher light output. ​
  • Human eyes need about 45 to 60 minutes in total darkness to fully adjust to night vision. You may notice that the luminescent effects appears to increase after 10-15 minutes exposure to a dark environment.
  • Night time adjacent light is usually 100,000 times less intense than daylight. Luminescent aggregate glow is completely invisible during daytime hours
  • Viewing suggestion: Place a Glow Path Paver on your bedside table. During the night, as your eyes adjust to the darkness, the intensity of the luminescent glow can be seen.
  • A full test for judging the length of the luminescent effect must be conducted with the testing personnel in full darkness for at least 45 minutes.

Illuminance​ Testing Results

The active luminescent material in Glow Path Pavers, AKA Glow Stone, has been measured for light output by an independent international testing lab.

The testing uses globally recognized metrics to measure not only light output, but also the decay rate of the luminesence. The net result is a yardstick to measure the visible light output over time.

Advanced Laboratory Testing

All Glow Path Pavers are manufactured to exacting standards to meet or exceed prevailing industry standards for:

  • Dimensional Conformance– True to claimed dimensions​
  • Compressive Strength – Ability to withstand max specified load
  • Absorptive Performance – Conformance to moisture absorption specifications​
  • Freeze-Thaw Durability – Cycling of freezing/thawing conditions

These exacting tests are used to determine if the tested product, in this case a concrete paving stone, conforms to ASTM Standard C140. We are proud that our products meet the ASTM Standard C140.

Material Safety Data Sheet​ (MSDS)

The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a global document template that is used to reveal the composition of a chemical compound. It is used in transportation and handling of compounds and products contain compounds as ingredients in their manufacture.

Glow Path Pavers’ unique luminescent aggregates have been tested and found to be inert, non-toxic, and resistant to solvents, acids, and detergent compounds.
