MPK Paint that Glows for 12 Years


MPK Paint that Glows for 12 Years

The US company MPK, specialized in glow-in-the-dark materials, as they say, has invented a new type of substance similar with paint, with fluorescence characteristic, that can glow in the dark for over 12 years long.


This new type of paint is based on Lightroenergy, which seems to be a powerful source of illumination that produces a very bright glow without the need for electricity or sunlight sources.
The amazing paint consists of litrospheres, which are extremely small self-luminous particles that are capable to produce brightness comparable with the one coming from a 20W bulb.


Another amazing fact is that this substance is very cost-effective - 35 cents for an 8.5 x 11 inches surface – and more than that, these particles are customizable to spread different light colors, without limits.


Update:
We have contacted MPK and this is what they've told us:
The approximative cost to light up 8.5 x 11 x 1/8" of material is of 35 cents.
The Litroenergy samples will be available within 90 days, while the mass production will start in 6-9 months; and the output of the Litroenergy is now equal to that of a 40 watt bulb.

8.5 x 11 whats? metres? inches? milimetres? knee pads? Could be expensive or cheap.

Sweet! Now, that 8.5x11 dimension is in lightyears, right? Regardless, I'll be checking it out...

Inches may have been added afterwards, but regardless, 8.5x11 inches is the size of a standard sheet of printer paper. I guess the author thought it was implied. Guess not.

Wow that's cool! 12 years is a long time considering my watch gets dim after about 2 hours.

For the metric people here: it's $5.80 per square meter. Which is a pretty decent price.

Litroenergy? Must have missed that one in physics class, because I've never heard of it before. Probably a buzzword for tritium encased in phosphor particles. You don't get something for nothing, either in terms of light or in terms of safety. I hope someone doesn't figure out in ten years, after we've slathered this stuff all over everything, that it's toxic or a carcinogen or something. Of course (lead) we would (asbestos) never (mercury) do something (thalidomide) as (DDT) stupid as (VOCs) that, now (PCBs) would (CFCs) we?
