Early in October, we had the pleasure of welcoming our partners from AHN Vertex Sdn Bhd, in charge of distributing our LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint in Malaysia, to our premises.
This exclusive event gave us the opportunity to present our production factory, as well as our R&D and sales teams in charge of LuminoKrom® products. The aim was also to consolidate their status as authorized distributors, and to be trained in the application of our phosphorescent road paint to guarantee users the unique luminescent performance of our paint: 10 hours of lighting at night (class G certified).
LuminoKrom®: a growing international presence
This year, everything is accelerating... LuminoKrom® has continued its international expansion, providing photoluminescent marking solutions to make night-time travel safer all over the world.
Like a real luminous guide, our road marking helps users to move around in the dark. The paint can be used in a wide variety of applications to meet different needs: road markings on bicycle paths, illuminated signage in industrial environments, markings for urban development...
After installations in Saudi Arabia, Canada and South Africa, it's now time for Malaysia to adopt our luminescent paint.
Marking projects around the world: bike path in Belgium, bikeshare service in Canada, industrial signage in South Africa
LuminoKrom® application training tailored to your needs
OliKrom's main objective is to support all its international partners. Thus, several members of AHN Vertex Sdn travelled from Malaysia to our headquarters in Pessac, France, to discover our company OliKrom and learn how to apply our phosphorescent paint.
Over the two-day session, the company's staff were trained in the application of our road paint and in best practices for optimal local deployment.
We particularly discussed the importance of mastering certain parameters, such as obtaining a specific grammage, handling and cleaning equipment. Demonstrations of airless application were given, as well as training in luminescence performance measurement. All employees have completed the training and handled all the specific equipment.
The whole team is now ready to deploy LuminoKrom® in their country!

Photoluminescence is a physical process whereby a material absorbs photons from a light source and re-emits them. To achieve this, the body is subjected to radiation of varying intensity, which excites the electrons present in the substance. These electrons store the light, store the energy and release it when there is a total absence of light.
Thanks to photoluminescence, the substance can be recharged indefinitely by daylight or artificial lighting. Our LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint exploits exactly this physical phenomenon.
What are the advantages of photoluminescence?
Installations marked with photoluminescent paint require no special maintenance or servicing. Only standard road maintenance is required.
What's more, this type of marking is totally autonomous, requiring no charge or power source. So it's an economical and sustainable solution.
How long does paint luminescence last?
The paint itself emits for a very long time. The most important parameter to take into account is the length of time its light emission is perceptible to the human eye.
In an outdoor environment devoid of any light, we consider that the eye can perceive light emission up to around 8 millicandela/m², i.e. after 10 hours of emission. If the environment presents light pollution (full moon, proximity of public lighting), this threshold will be raised and the duration of visibility will be shortened.
Indoors, in absolute darkness, the perception threshold is much lower, and you can observe the luminescence of our paint for over 12 hours.
What surfaces can LuminoKrom® paint be applied to?
Our LuminoKrom® paint range can be applied to a variety of substrates and materials. We offer different references to suit every circumstance, whether for indoor or outdoor marking, for example.
Our road and urban paint references are ideal for use on concrete, cement, bitumen and asphalt mixes. A waterborne version is also available for interior applications.Concernant les applications sur du métal, il faudra choisir notre peinture LuminoKrom® pour Métal.
Our luminescent paint is applied over a white primer, so you can apply LuminoKrom® to any surface where the white paint will adhere.
