Our LuminoKrom® sales team had the pleasure of taking part in the Salon des Maires et des Collectivités Locales, a key event bringing together all territorial players. The aim is to support local elected representatives in their territorial transitions.
On the program: meetings between local authorities and companies with innovative concepts to facilitate the implementation of efficient projects adapted to the developments of tomorrow.
Our LuminoKrom® technology at SMCL 2023
Our entire team was on hand over the 3 days of the show to present our technology.
On site, we were able to meet you and answer all your questions about photoluminescence. This gave us the opportunity to (re)discover our LuminoKrom® paint and its many benefits. LuminoKrom® is a luminous marking that charges naturally during the day and lights up for 10 hours at night, making it safer for pedestrians and cyclists.
You were also able to try out our luminescent marking directly on site using our black box, and test it in real life with your teams.
At a time when most local authorities are thinking about their territorial development for cyclists, and are keen to develop and improve their cycling schemes, our photoluminescent road paint is helping to make night-time travel safer.
Do you have a project for a bicycle path or luminescent greenway? Tell us about your project! Together, we'll find the solution with LuminoKrom®.
The Salon des Maires, an essential step in regional development
The 2023 edition of the emblematic Salon des Maires took place from November 21 to 23.
Every year in Paris, the Salon des Maires et des Collectivités Locales (SMCL) brings together all the key players in the local and regional economy. It's the must-attend event not only for municipalities and conurbations, but also for all those involved in regional development.
The aim is to support elected representatives and local authorities in their territorial transitions by presenting them with innovative solutions on a variety of themes. These include mobility, ecology and urban planning, which are key issues for LuminoKrom®.

As is the case every year, the vast majority of France's local and regional authorities gather at Porte de Versailles to anticipate the future, and seek solutions and ideas to improve the quality of life of their fellow citizens. This 2023 edition of the Salon des Maires is no exception.
Last year, the 2022 edition of the Salon des Maires was a record-breaking event, with an unprecedented number of participants. The 2023 edition brought together 1203 exhibitors and almost 50,000 visitors over the three-day event.
It was essential for us to be present at this event to participate in this transition in terms of regional planning. Our team is delighted to have been able to welcome you on this special occasion, and to establish solid contacts with a view to improving tomorrow's cycling infrastructures.

What is photoluminescence?
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.
