Clean fluorescent stains
Neon bracelet
A neon bracelet is a flexible tube containing a fluorescent liquid.
This liquid is composed of 2 substances (most often hydrogen peroxide which acts as an activator and a fluorescent dye) which, when they come into contact, create a chemical reaction which produces light.
This reaction is called chemical luminescence.
Stabilization
The stabilo is a felt-tip pen with a chisel point used to highlight writing.
