Photoluminescent sand

Abstract

Photoluminescent sand preferably includes play sand, photoluminescent pigment, a powdered binder and a curing agent. The play sand is preferably mixed with the photoluminescent pigment to form a photo sand mix. The photo sand mix is then mixed with the powered binder and curing agent to form the photoluminescent sand mix. The photoluminescent sand mix is allowed to cure for between 3-7 days to form the photoluminescent sand.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A method of manufacturing a photoluminescent sand comprising the steps of:
 providing sand;   providing a powdered binder;   providing a curing agent;   mixing photoluminescent pigment, a photoluminescent resin, or photoluminescent glass with said sand to form a photo sand mix; and   mixing said powdered binder and said curing agent with said photo sand mix to form photoluminescent sand.   
     
     
         2 . The method of manufacturing a photoluminescent sand of  claim 1  comprising the step of:
 allowing said photoluminescent sand to cure. 
 
     
     
         3 . The method of manufacturing a photoluminescent sand of  claim 1  wherein:
 said sand has a granulation of up to 2 mm. 
 
     
     
         4 . The method of manufacturing a photoluminescent sand of  claim 1  wherein:
 said photoluminescent pigment, said photoluminescent resin, or said photoluminescent glass has a granulation of between 0.3 mm to 0.9 mm. 
 
     
     
         5 . A method of manufacturing a photoluminescent sand comprising the steps of:
 providing sand in a percentage of between 89-91.5 by weight;   providing a powdered binder in a percentage of 3-5 by weight;   providing a curing agent in a percentage of 0.5-1 by weight;   mixing photoluminescent pigment in an amount of 5 percent by weight with said sand to form a photo sand mix; and   mixing said powdered binder and said curing agent with said photo sand mix to form photoluminescent sand.   
     
     
         6 . The method of manufacturing a photoluminescent sand of  claim 5  comprising the step of:
 allowing said photoluminescent sand to cure. 
 
     
     
         7 . The method of manufacturing a photoluminescent sand of  claim 5  wherein:
 said sand has a granulation of up to 2 mm. 
 
     
     
         8 . The method of manufacturing a photoluminescent sand of  claim 5  wherein:
 said photoluminescent pigment has a granulation of between 0.3 mm to 0.9 mm. 
 
     
     
         9 . A method of manufacturing a photoluminescent sand comprising the steps of:
 providing sand;   providing a powdered binder;   providing a curing agent;   mixing photoluminescent pigment, photoluminescent resin, or photoluminescent glass with said sand to form a photo sand mix for a period of 5 minutes; and   mixing said powdered binder and said curing agent with said photo sand mix to form photoluminescent sand for a period of 15 minutes.   
     
     
         10 . The method of manufacturing a photoluminescent sand of  claim 9  comprising the step of:
 allowing said photoluminescent sand to cure. 
 
     
     
         11 . The method of manufacturing a photoluminescent sand of  claim 9  wherein:
 said sand has a granulation of up to 2 mm. 
 
     
     
         12 . The method of manufacturing a photoluminescent sand of  claim 9  wherein:
 said photoluminescent pigment, said photoluminescent resin, or said photoluminescent glass has a granulation of between 0.3 mm to 0.9 mm.
