Does White Cement Glow in the Dark?
Technically, no. White Cement does not “glow” in the dark. But what it does do is MAKE CONCRETE MUCH MORE REFLECTIVE . This means that light bounces off of it and makes it highly visible. Why is this important? There are many reasons. SAFETY, for example! Pavement and highway dividers made with white cement highly reflect the headlights of automobiles. This improves visibility for drivers in all types of conditions and situations. Another benefit of white cement reflectivity is energy conservation. Darker colors absorb light and heat from the sun. Lighter colors reflect it. Simply put, that means that if a building has reflective white cement for roofing, the cost of keeping that building cooler would decrease. On a larger scale, imagine the difference this makes in an entire town! Dark asphalt pavement absorbs 95% of the sunlight that hits it and retains that heat energy long after dark. Using lighter color pavements like white cement can reduce that asphalt furnace effect.
