Abstract
The phosphorescent toy gel composition is produced by suspending phosphorescent particles in an aqueous solution, thickened with guar gum and crosslinked by a borate compound. The method for manufacturing the phosphorescent gel composition comprises, in one aspect, the steps of providing a water-based solution with a borate ion-containing compound dissolved in the water, providing guar gum and phosphorescent particles suspended and dispersed in propylene glycol, and mixing the water-based solution and the propylene glycol dispersion in a proportion to provide a phosphorescent gel composition.

A method for formulating a phosphorescent toy gel composition, comprising the steps:
- (a) providing a water-based solution with a borate ion-containing compound dissolved in the water;
- (b) providing guar gum and phosphorescent particles suspended and dispersed in propylene glycol;
- and
- (c) mixing the water-based solution with the propylene glycol dispersion in a proportion to provide a phosphorescent gel composition comprising from about 50 percent to about 90 percent water, from about 10 percent to about 30 percent propylene glycol, from about 1 percent to about 10 percent phosphorescent particles, and from about 2 percent to about 10 percent guar gum.
A method for formulating a phosphorescent toy gel composition comprising the steps:
- (a) providing a water based solution which contains propylene glycol and a borate ion-containing compound dissolved in the solution;
- (b) providing a dry mixture of guar gum and phosphorescent particles;
- and
- (c) mixing the water-based solution with the dry mixture in a proportion to provide a gel composition comprising from about 50 percent to about 97 percent water, from 0 percent to about 30 percent propylene glycol, from about 1 percent to about 10 percent phosphorescent particles, and from about 2 percent to about 10 percent guar gum.
