Driving or walking at night can be scary, not to mention dangerous especially if there are no streetlamps. This luminescent coating wants to fix that. Called Starpath, it turns dark pathways into a glowing blue ribbon of light.

Applied in three layers, its middle aggregate stage absorbs UV energy in the day and releases it as a blue glow when it is dark.

Manufacturer Pro-Teq Surfacing sees Starpath as a way for municipalities to save money, by replacing costly electric pathway lighting with the low-maintenance coating.

Check out the video to see how Starpath is applied.
