Eli-Chem Resins, a Surrey-based resin systems group, has developed a series of photo-luminescent pigments that are designed to be self-illuminating both indoor and outdoors.

Eli-Chem's Eli-Glow emits light all by itself

The group claimed its Eli-Glow to be a "revolutionary and very latest state-of-the-art substance in sustainable eco-lighting technology.

Eli-Glow photo-luminescent pigments are not primary light reflectors, the group said, but actual sources of ambient light.

They absorb radiant UV energy from sunlight (or indoor lighting) and convert it into longer wavelengths in the visible spectrum, emitting it as light with the sensation of different colours applied.

Eli-Chem said that by day the pigments were a pale, straw-coloured substance. When mixed with a 10/20% binder it becomes invisible and will not affect the optical clarity of your finished artwork or object.

In darkness your application will come to life, transforming the entire appearance into a unique and captivating focal piece, it added.
