industrial night‑vision (i.e. glow‑in‑the‑dark) epoxy grout—a two- or three-component epoxy grout system that emits luminescent glow after exposure to light, ideal for low‑light visibility in industrial or architectural settings:
1. Overview & Types
3-Component Glow Epoxy Grout (e.g. sold in Ahmedabad as “Night Vision Epoxy Grout 3 components Blue Glow” or “Green Glow”)—includes base resin, hardener, and luminous pigment fillers. These glow softly under darkness and are priced around ₹2,199 per 1 kg kit
2-Component Fluorescent Epoxy Grout (e.g. Weber Knight Armor by Saint-Gobain) comprising resin and hardener with photoluminescent pigment. It absorbs ambient light (300–1,000 lux) and glows for 5–8 hours even in industrial settings
2. Key Features & Benefits
Luminous Glow
Absorbs visible or UV light quickly (within ~15 min), then emits for up to ~2 hours (Ardex WA G type) or 5–8 hours (Weber Knight Armor) depending on pigment quality.
Performance & Durability
High strength, chemical‑ and stain‑resistance, low shrinkage, anti-bacterial, water-resistant, suitable for walls, floors, and even submerged joints. Excellent for high‑traffic or industrial environments
Easy to Use
Pre‑formulated kits make mixing simple (2‑comp ratio example: Part A:B = 11.5:1 by weight or 7:1 by volume), creamy consistency, easy application and cleanuHygiene & Maintenance
Resistant to fungus, bacteria, and regular cleaning agents—ideal for sanitary or food‑processing areas. Non‑absorbent grout prevents microbial growth

Product Components Glow Duration Glow Color(s) Joint Width Range Packaging
Night Vision Epoxy Grout (Vipul) 3‑component kits ~2–3 hours maybe Blue or Green ~2–20 mm (likely) 1 kg kit (~₹2,199)
Weber Knight Armor 2 components 5–8 hours at 300–1,000 lux Fluorescent Blue or Green typical tile joints 1 kg or 5 kg buckets 4. Application & Health & Safety
Mixing & Application: Combine resin + hardener, then add luminous filler, apply using standard epoxy grouting techniques. Clean tools immediately (before setting) using thinner or recommended solvent
Safety: Contains epoxy resins and pigments—avoid skin/eye contact and inhalation. Use gloves, goggles, and ventilated conditions. If contact occurs, wash thoroughly and seek medical advice if necessary

5. Uses & Industrial Applications
Floor and wall joints in factories, hospitals, malls, swimming pools, parking areas, or areas needing safety demarcation at night.
Architectural features like glow delineations around steps, pathways, or decorative tile joints.
Projects demanding both durability and emergency visibility, e.g. escape path markings or plant walkways.
