How
do glow sticks work?
In
a nutshell, glow sticks use chemical reactions to emit
light. Noticing unlike most light emitting sources such as
light bulbs, matches or candles, glow sticks do not seem to
generate heat while emitting light. That’s why the chemical
reaction is called a chemiluminescent reaction, which
basically means a chemical reaction that emits light with
limited amount of heat generated. Back

What are the chemicals
that make glow sticks?
Glow sticks are made of two parts of chemicals which when
mixed together create a chemical reaction that emits light.
4
g Sodium Carbonate
0.2 g Luminol
0.5 g Ammonium Carbonate
0.4 g Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate
approx. 1 litre of Distilled Water
50 ml of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide Back

How does the
glow sticks chemical reaction take place?
There are (4) components to typical glow sticks. The first is
the plastic outer casing that holds everything together. The
second is the fluid that you can see moving around in the
plastic outer casing. The third is the glass capsule which
floats freely in the fluid (second component), and the fourth
is the fluid contained inside the glass capsule. Now that your
aware of the (4) components that make up glow sticks you will
learn how to activate one.
To make glow sticks 'glow' you must bend
the outer plastic casing enough such that the inner glass
capsule breaks. Once it breaks the fluid inside the glass
capsule comes out and mixes with the fluid outside the
capsule, thus the chemical reaction that makes glow sticks
'glow' ensues.
Typical glow sticks use a hydrogen peroxide solution (which is
called the "activator"), a solution of phenyl
oxalate ester and a fluorescent dye (which makes the color).
The activator is stored in the glass capsule described above.
When the glass capsule is broken by bending a glow stick the
activator is released, and mixing the components (shaking the
glow stick) initiates the reaction. Depending on chemicals
used, the chemical reaction can last (glow sticks can glow)
from a few minutes to many hours. Heating the glow sticks will
speed up the reaction, which will result in brighter light but
will shorten the glowing time. Cooling the glow sticks slows
down the reaction, which will dim the light, but with a longer
glowing time. Back

Do you have any suggestions in handling glow products?
Yes. Due to the fragile nature of glow products, the following precautions should always be applied when handling glow products:
1. Keep glow products in original container until usage;
2. Do not remove connectors from containers so that glow necklaces or bracelets can
slide (and get activated) in container;
3. Carefully press plastic lids when putting them back to tube containers;
4. Handle with care. Do not drop, break or impact glow products such that they
would be accidentally activated to glow. Back
