An additive is required to be compounded with the material to achieve this aspect of the design. The toilet/scat will not require any batteries or electricity. The glows in the dark properties are charged by the sunlight referred to as phosphorescence. The molded in place plastic hinges eliminate screws and other hardware to hold the seat together. The ergonomic concave seat design provides comfort while sitting. The material used for this product will be Polypropylene FDA approved is known for its toughness. The glow additive comes in granule form and is added to a plastic ram material by weight % and is blended and mixed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 .) The toilet seat glows in the dark. 
     
     
         2 .) The material chosen is polypropylene known for toughness and being germ resistant. 
     
     
         3 .) The seat is your standard toilet seats injected with chemiluminescent and phosphorescent. Phosphorescent is a type of photo luminescence, which is charged by exposure to light and emits a form of fluorescence light. Chemiluminescence is created via a chemical reaction excited to fluorescence and then returns to a ground state. The toilet seat will then have to be illuminated by a phosphorescent paint or pigment that can be charged during the day so that it glows at night.
