[L’Usine Nouvelle] What is this fluorescent paint that could be arriving on French roads?
LuminoKrom®: photoluminescent paint for tomorrow's roads
An article in L'Usine Nouvelle explores the potential of LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint to enhance road safety in France. Developed to capture light during the day and release it at night, this innovative paint could be deployed on roads, cycle paths and pedestrian walkways to improve night-time visibility without consuming energy. Currently used in pilot projects, notably in Herblay-sur-Seine, LuminoKrom® offers a sustainable alternative to conventional street lighting, reducing energy costs and the carbon footprint of road infrastructures.
This type of illuminated signage is particularly well suited to poorly lit areas, and its deployment could soon be extended to other French regions, depending on the results of the first installations. By integrating this technology, local authorities aim to enhance user safety while aligning themselves with energy transition objectives. In this way, LuminoKrom® represents a step towards smarter, greener infrastructures.
