Night Vision Epoxy Grout In Gujarat

Night Vision Epoxy Grout is a specialized type of grout that has phosphorescent (glow-in-the-dark) properties combined with the high durability and chemical resistance of epoxy-based formulations. It's used in both functional and decorative applications where low light or night-time visibility is desired.

🔹 Key Features of Night Vision Epoxy Grout:

Feature Description

Glow-in-the-dark effect Contains phosphorescent pigments (often strontium aluminate-based) that absorb and store light energy, then emit it in darkness.

Epoxy base Made from a two-part system (resin + hardener), which offers strong bonding, chemical resistance, and waterproofing.

Durability Highly resistant to wear, abrasion, moisture, chemicals, and staining – ideal for high-traffic or wet areas.

Non-porous Unlike cementitious grouts, epoxy grout doesn’t absorb water or stains.

Aesthetic appeal Available in multiple glow colors (green, blue, aqua) and often used for visual markers or artistic installations.

🔹 Applications:

Interior Design: Accent lighting in kitchens, bathrooms, and bars.

Outdoor Installations: Garden paths, pool tiles, patios, or stairways.

Commercial Use: Emergency exit pathways, club or lounge décor, low-light signage.

Marine/Pool Use: Glow effect in underwater tiling or spa areas.

Industrial Safety: Visibility lines in dark or low-lit areas.

🔹 Advantages:

Enhances safety by improving night-time visibility.

Long-lasting glow (6–12 hours depending on charge and pigment quality).

No electricity or batteries required – recharges with light.

Resistant to mold and mildew growth.

🔹 Limitations:

Higher cost than traditional or even standard epoxy grout.

Requires proper mixing and application (often by professionals).

🔹 Installation Tips:

Surface prep is critical. Must be clean and dry.

Use glow pigments as instructed – improper mix can reduce glow.

Clean up fast to avoid haze on tiles.

Charge the glow before testing – expose to strong light for 10–30 minutes.
