Anti-Slip Glow Sand | Aqua, Blue & Green | Photoluminescent for Floor Coatings | Glows to 8+ Hours | 3 Grit Sizes
Our Anti- Slip Glow in the Dark Sand offers a dramatic and exciting glow in the dark green, aqua or blue affect when the lights are off and at night for up to 8+ hours, all the while providing increased slip resistance to epoxy, polyurea, polyaspartic, urethane and polyurethane floor coating systems and improved safety when surface is wet. The Anti-Slip Glow Sand Sand can be used for both indoor and outdoor projects.
The Anti-Slip Glow in the Dark Sand comes in a popular 30 grit (500 micron) in green, 65 grit (250 Micron) in blue or 110 grit (150 Micron) in aqua. These sizes provide good anti-slip protection for residential projects and lighter duty anti-slip commercial projects. Purchase in small 4 oz, 8 oz and 1 lb amounts or money saving 2.2 lb (1 kg) package.
You can apply the Green Glow a couple different ways. You can sprinkle the Anti-Slip Glow Sand into a wet clear topcoat and then do what is called a dry backroll (lightly run a roller over the wet surface which will flip the Green Glow Sand over and encapsulate it in the clear coating). You can also mix the Anti-Slip Glow Sand directly into the clear topcoat before application to the surface..
Anti-slip aggregates are used primarily to reduce the risk of falls from a wet, slippery surface. However our Anti-Slip Glow Sand offers in addition to an anti-slip surface, a unique decorative look when the lights go out. How much anti-slip aggregate to use involves a trade-off between safety, visual appearance and ability to keep clean. Anti-slip aggregates will reduce the sheen level of a coating and become more visible the greater the application rate. They can also make it harder to keep clean. Users need to determine their own requirements as every application is different.
Usage varies widely from a low of 4 oz per gallon topcoat typically used for lighter duty residential anti-slip applications or where a lighter glow look is desired to as much as 1 lb to 1.5 lb for every gallon of topcoat on higher risk or commercial applications when safety is more important or where a more dramatic and brighter night time glow is desired. Recommend small test to understand how much additive will produce your desired results.
Note, Anti-Slip Glow Sand has to be fully encapsulated in and protected by a coating. It is not designed to get wet as moisture can damage its glow properties over time. In daylight the Anti-Slip Glow Sand has a light pale green or off-white look.
If interested, consider the Glow Anti-Slip Sand Sample Kit to try out all of the colors aqua, blue and green.

What is glow-in-the-dark anti-slip sand for epoxy floors?
Glow anti-slip sand is a photoluminescent textured aggregate added to epoxy, polyaspartic, urethane, or polyurethane coatings to improve traction while also glowing in darkness for visibility and safety. It charges under normal lighting and releases stored light gradually when the area becomes dark.
How long does the glow last?
The additive can glow for 8+ hours after being charged by light, with brightness gradually fading over time.
What grit size is the green glow sand?
The green version is 30 grit (about 500 microns), which provides an anti-slip texture suitable for residential and light commercial applications.
How do you apply glow anti-slip sand to epoxy floors?
There are two common methods:
• Sprinkle (broadcast) into a wet clear topcoat, then lightly back-roll
• Mix directly into the clear coating before applying
Both methods allow the particles to become encapsulated in the coating.
How much glow sand should I use per gallon of coating?
Typical usage ranges:
Light texture / subtle glow → about 4 oz per gallon
Higher traction / brighter glow → up to 1–1.5 lb per gallon
Testing a small area first is recommended.
Can glow anti-slip sand be used outdoors?
Yes — it can be used for both indoor and outdoor projects, including patios, stairs, garages, and walkways.
What coatings is this compatible with?
It works with:
• Epoxy coatings
• Polyaspartic coatings
• Urethane coatings
• Polyurethane coatings
It can also be used with clear sealers.
Does the glow sand change the appearance of the floor during the day?
In daylight, the particles appear light pale green or off-white, while glowing bright green in darkness.
Does anti-slip sand affect floor sheen or cleanability?
Yes. Like most anti-slip aggregates:
• Higher application rates reduce gloss
• More texture can make cleaning slightly harder
This is the normal trade-off between safety and appearance.
Does glow sand need to be sealed?
Yes — the additive must be fully encapsulated inside a coating.
It is not intended to be left exposed or constantly wet, since moisture can reduce glow performance over time.
Where is glow anti-slip sand commonly used?
Typical applications include:
• Garage floors
• Basement floors
• Steps and stairways
• Patios and porches
• Walkways
• Game rooms
Is glow in the dark epoxy floor safe for stairs?
Yes — adding glow anti-slip sand improves visibility and traction, helping reduce slip risks in low-light areas.
