The aggregate material in Starpath, which comes in form of a spray with applied elastomeric coating into which a wide range of mediums can be added. It absorbs and stores energy from ambient light (UV rays) during the day, and releases this energy at night, making the particles glow. The material glows for up to 16 hours after a charge and the particles will last a minimum of 20 years.
