Abstract: A solution for causing a chemiluminescent reaction after it has been mixed with another per se known solution. The solution includes a solvent, an oxalate, a fluorescent dye and a polymer. The dye is rubrene and the polymer is advantageously polyoxyethylene. The chemiluminescent reaction produces a color having a greater stability over time. Adding a polymer incorporating a second red fluorescent dye enables a redder color to be achieved than when rubrene is the sole fluorescent dye.
