What is Glow Powder?
Glow powder is actually called phosphorescent pigment. It is the basis of just about all glows in the dark products. This powdery substance absorbs light and then re-emits it over a length of time. The glow occurs when electrons fall from a higher orbit to a lower orbit. When they fall to a lower orbit, they emit energy as visible light. These products have chemicals in them with electrons that get excited by light waves. No chemical reaction actually occurs.
