Disposable glow sticks utilize a chemical reaction to produce their familiar green glow. A glass capsule inside the plastic tube releases a phenyl oxalate solution into the surrounding hydrogen dioxide solution, and once they are mixed well, they react with each other and produce light energy. It is possible to manipulate the color of the glow stick depending on the chemicals used.

A light stick or glow stick is a plastic tube with a vial in it. The instructions say to snap the stick from the middle section. When you snap the tube, it breaks the glass vial. This allows the chemicals in the glass to mix with the chemicals stored in the plastic. Once the substances contact each other, the chemical reaction causes light! The common light sticks use a solution of hydrogen peroxide that is kept separate from a solution of phenyl oxalate ester together with a florescent dye. The color of dye determines the color of the light stick when the solutions are mixed. This results in a fun, colorful light used in carnivals, Halloween and many other festivities. Glow one today!
You'd better clean it. There is a good chance it could be radioactive now.
Yes. The ink sticks just as a rubbed comb attracts bits of paper.
A magnet will tell you if a metal is magnetic - Gold is NOT magnetic, so if a ring 'sticks' to a magnet it is NOT gold.

Due to the little amount of light that glow sticks provide it isn't guaranteed that you can use them to find people. Although having many glow sticks may work.
Glow sticks aren't just for raves, nor are they just for kids on Halloween. Glow sticks can be a great safety asset when outside in any dark or dangerous condition. Many athletes use glow sticks to light their paths when running and to make them more visible to cars. Glow sticks can also be useful for roadside emergencies, for power outages, or in substitute of a flashlight. Glow sticks are inexpensive and can be purchased at most party stores and sports stores.

try oops! or goof-off
it fades over time..the active chemical does not need blacklight..u can buy glow paint at craftstores

To celebrate the New Year, we bought massive glow sticks and had fun all night!
the original purpose of glow sticks was to just create light because At the time it was quite a remarkable achievement because either electrical mains or battery were the energy sources for most light producing devices. so when glow sticks were created; something that provides light without the use of electricity it was quite astonishing.
No, a combustion reaction is where a chemical reacts with oxygen to produce an oxide and lots of heat. Glow sticks use a a kind of reaction chemiluminescence. The reactions often involve oxygen particularly hydrogen peroxide, but they are not combustion reactions and typically produce little to no heat
Those are those "glow in the dark" sticks that ravers use while on Ecstasy, and the women love to go "up & down" on
You don't need to, the system will work it for you.
