Product Description: EVERYGLOW® Glow in the Dark Plush Fabric
1. Overview
EVERYGLOW® Glow in the Dark Fabric is a specialized high-pile textile engineered for the toy and nursery industries. By combining ultra-soft synthetic fibers with high-performance photoluminescent technology, we provide a material that offers both tactile comfort and a magical nighttime glow.
This glow in the dark fabric is the premier choice for manufacturers of plush toys, comforting blankets, and sensory items that help children feel secure and entertained in the dark.
2. Key Features
- Ultra-Soft Sensory Texture: Maintains a luxurious, “minky” feel that is essential for plush toys and comfort items.
- Integrated Luminescence: The glow technology is embedded within the fibers, ensuring the photoluminescent effect remains consistent throughout the pile and does not flake or peel.
- Child-Safe & Non-Toxic: Rigorously tested to meet international toy safety standards. It is non-radioactive, lead-free, and phthalate-free.
- High-Intensity Afterglow: Provides a soothing green or blue glow for 8–10+ hours, easily recharged by sunlight or indoor LED lighting.
- Shed-Resistant & Durable: Engineered to withstand the rigors of play while maintaining its structure and glow performance over time.

- Do not iron directly on the plush surface to avoid melting the synthetic fibers.
