Freezing Your Glow Products Slows Reaction

Yes it does! Many people try to figure out ways to keep their cool glow sticks and novelty toys a little longer. We don't blame you--they're fun!

Did you know that the chemical reaction in liquid glow products is influenced by temperature? As temperature decreases, light intensity decreases, but duration of light output increases.

Our liquid glow products are designed to produce their maximum light emission for their intended duration when used at temperatures of 60°-80°F (15°-26°C). If the temperature is above 80°F (26°C), the light will be brighter, but will last for a shorter duration. If the temperature is below 60°F (15°C), the light will be less bright, but will last longer. Lightsticks can be placed in a freezer to stop the chemical reaction. The light emission will re-start as soon as the product returns to ambient temperature.
