A special formula of various metals used to powder-coat the tungsten filaments of super-bright incandescent bulbs; when the substance gets super-hot, it releases krypton gas inside the bulb, causing the filament to safely burn brighter and last longer.
I love da super-bright "upgrade" bulbs with kryptonite-coated filaments that are offered for some flashlights, but the problem with these "specialty" bulbs is that they both "cost all outdoors" and draw a lot more juice than just regular plain-tungsten bulbs do.
