Abstract

There is provided a flexible, thin, rectangular, chemiluminescent device comprised of a back sheet of a laminated metal foil having heat sealed thereto at its edges a bi-component front sheet, the first component of which is a laminated metal foil and the second component of which is a transparent or translucent polyolefin sheet, said first and second components being heat sealed to each other at their adjacent latitudinal edge, from about 20% to about 50% of the surface area of said front sheet being comprised of said first component; temporary separation means positioned so as to divide the interior area of said device into two compartments, one under each of said components, the compartment under said second component having positioned therein an absorbent material containing a solvent solution of an oxalate and, optionally, a fluorescer, and the compartment under said first component containing an activator solution.
