Atomic Glow Is the Secret Coloring Ingredient
The liquid lights up with an eerie green glow!
Under normal light, the Atomic Glow coloring turns the water a cool greenish-yellow color. But Atomic Glow gets its name from the color that appears when you flip on the black light. When Atomic Glow coloring is exposed to black light, the material actually glows an eerie green color that looks… well… atomic!
What does it teach?
This special coloring agent fluoresces under the mini black light. When the energy from the black light “excites” the fluorescent dye, you end up with a brightly glowing, very exciting, addition to any (water-soluble) experiment! (For the full glowing effect, you will need to purchase a large black light.)
Atomic Glow reacts to the energy in black light
Add just a few drops of Atomic Glow to almost any of your favorite experiments and you are ready for a the perfect Halloween Science lesson… but you don’t have to wait for Halloween, Atomic Glow will “brighten up” your science classroom any time of year!
You Can Stretch 4 oz (120 mL) of Atomic Glow Concentrate
With just one teaspoon of Atomic Glow added to a quart of water, you’ll have all the glow you need. That means you can make 24 individual quarts of glowing liquid!
Atomic Glow Coloring Requires a Black Light
In order for you to see the eerie, greenish-yellow color, we included a mini LED black light along with your bottle of Atomic Glow!

Bought this for my 10 yr niece’s Science Birthday Party and also because I just wanted some Re-Animator serum for myself. This does just what the description says. It’s awesome in just about anything. Gave everything we bought (worms and jelly marbles) and used (in the display beakers with dry ice, slime we made, etc.) at the party a second life under the black light. This stuff is definitely worth the price and loads of fun.

How long does it glow for?

Jim – thanks for the question. The Atomic Glow Concentrate once added to a sealed water source would last for many years. It will only glow when exposed to UV light/Black light. A few drops in a 16 oz container will create a fantastic look. This is a very popular item over Halloween. Have a great day – Joshua

Dalton –
What is the name of this chemical? Is it 1,2-dichlorofluorescein?
This information should be listed in the description somewhere for MSDA safety info if needed.

Question
Rachel Quimby (verified owner) –
Just ordered the ooze, and excited to give it a go at our museum’s Halloween-inspired event. We plan to use it for the foaming pumpkin demo, so the foam glows under a black light. I’m wondering if anybody knows how much concentrate to use per 2 tablespoons or so of hydrogen peroxide?
We’d also like to use a glazed ceramic jack o’ lantern for this; we’ll need to do the experiment 18 times for the weeks of the event, and carving and preserving those pumpkins would take a lot of time. Do you know if the “glow” effect of the foam will stain the outside of the (painted and/or glazed) pumpkin and cause it to glow after the demo is done? Or is it easily wiped away?
Thanks very much!

Surprisingly, we have not tried using the Atomic Dye with the Foaming Pumpkin experiment, that I am aware of. I would use the same rule as the food coloring – keep adding until you get the desired color you are looking for. Be aware that Atomic Dye will stain, just like food coloring. I do not think it will be enough to stain the pumpkins themselves, but it could stain any type of fabric.

Is atomic glow non-toxic. What would happen if someone swallowed it on accident? If not, do you have any product similar to this in a non toxic form available?

The Atomic Glow is non-toxic, but we do not encourage it being used for consumption. If someone ingests a little bit by accident, we know it is not harmful, but we do not know the consequences if they ingest too much.

Can this be added to a hand lotion? I want to prank my friends at a party.

I would not advise it since the dye does stain. It would take awhile for it to wash off their hands and may not wash out of some clothing.

If I wanted to make an entire fountain glow would this stain the walls? Also how many bottles would I need to get a really good effect?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Staff lisabrooks –
The Atomic Glow does have potential to stain. I recommend you test a small area before you pour it all in. Since it is in concentrate form, one 4 oz container can be mixed with 6 gallons of water. You will need to figure out how many gallons of water your fountain uses to determine how many bottles of Atomic Glow Concentrate you will need.

How would this work if added to the bubbling blob experiment…this is the one with oil, water, food color, and alma seltzer. Would it mix with the water and make it glow?

Staff lisabrooks –
You could definitely add the Atomic Glow to the Bubbling Blob activity to make it glow.

Hello,
I have the green slime kit already and I have my kids mix it by hand for fun. Will the atomic glow stain their hands if this procedure is done?
Thanks

Staff lisabrooks –
It can. The Atomic Glow is a concentrate. If it isn’t diluted, it will stain.

Cesar Marron (verified owner) –
Is there a way to change atomic glow’s color? Or it green only possible?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Staff lisabrooks –
You cannot change the color of the “glow”. It will always be a yellowish-green. You can add a coloring agent (food coloring, colored slime, etc) to the Atomic Glow and it may change the color slightly, but not much. For example, if you add the Atomic Glow to one of our Slime Art colors, it may change the color of the slime slightly, but it will mostly glow a yellowish green under a black light.

I spoke with someone at your company before I bought this atomic glow. We are doing the smoking bubbles experiment and in your information online it says you can add this for added effect. Since part of the fun of the smoking bubbles experiment is to see the smoke when you burst the bubbles with your hands, I asked about them doing this once the atomic glow was added. I was told as long as they wash their hands right afterwards it shouldn’t stain. Is this true or not, as I see some comments that seem to indicate it will stain their hands. Would wearing rubber gloves prevent staining? Also, when we add this atomic glow should it be diluted? If so, what amount of water to atomic glow ratio?

Lisa – Customer Service Manager –
If you add the Atomic Glow to the water with the dry ice, it will only make the water glow, but not the dry ice cloud. There is no way to color the cloud. You could try adding a little to the bubble solution to make the bubble itself glow, but I am afraid it will cause the bubble to pop. I would recommend testing a tiny little bit so you are not ruining all of your bubble solution.
