Shines When It Counts
This phosphorescent PLA stores light and emits a soft glow in the dark—perfect for safety markers, playful accents, or design pieces that surprise after sundown.

Reliable Strength, Just Brighter
With mechanical properties on par with standard PLA (tensile strength ~32 MPa, impact resistance ~27 kJ/m²), this material holds its own in everyday use—durable enough for functional parts, decorative enough for standout visuals.

Clean Matte Finish, Glow Effect Built In
The surface has a soft, slightly grippy texture that masks layer lines and feels solid in-hand. In the light, it's a sleek pastel; in the dark, it glows with understated brilliance for 20–30 minutes after exposure.


🔧 Best For:

  • Glow-in-the-dark accents – signage, labels, switches, keychains

  • Decorative pieces – nightlights, figurines, event props

  • Functional flair – handles, safety clips, standout gadgets
