Abstract:
A process for producing chemiluminescent light of different colors from a discrete reaction mixture comprising:selecting an effective amount of an oxalate component;selecting an effective amount of a peroxide component;selecting an effective amount of a fluorescer component mixture, wherein said fluorescer component mixture is selected from one or more of a first group of fluorescer components having a first peroxide stability and one or more of a second group of fluorescer components having a second peroxide stability, the second group being less peroxide stable than the first group;selecting an effective amount of a catalyst; andreacting said oxalate component, peroxide component, fluorescer component mixture and catalyst;such that at the onset of the chemiluminescent reaction, light having a first coloration will be produced and upon degradation of a less peroxide stable fluorescer, light having a different coloration will be produced.
