LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint registered in Blaye on a cycle path

LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint was selected by the town of Blaye to make its infrastructures safer and improve night-time visibility. LuminoKrom® photoluminescent marking was applied to specific traffic zones to provide effective lighting, particularly useful in unlit or sensitive areas. At night, this marking acts as a luminous guide, enhancing visibility and safety for users.

 

LuminoKrom® luminescent paint contributes to the quality of urban development by making infrastructures more practicable all year round, at any time of day, even in adverse weather conditions. This luminous marking reassures users by enabling them to anticipate the presence of an obstacle or danger zone, while promoting safer, smoother travel.

A project to improve night-time visibility

In 2020, the town of Blaye, in the Gironde region of France, undertook a project to improve the safety of its road infrastructure. Photoluminescent markings were applied to specific areas to improve night-time visibility for road users. This initiative is part of a drive to modernize urban equipment to ensure safer night-time travel.

 

The benefits of LuminoKrom®: an innovative, sustainable solution

LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint charges with natural or artificial light during the day and restores it at night, offering visibility for up to 10 hours in the dark without electricity consumption or CO₂ emissions. This technology improves user safety by making critical areas more visible at night, while reducing light pollution. What's more, it's quick and easy to apply, comparable to conventional road paint, making it an economical and ecological solution for local authorities wishing to secure their infrastructures in a sustainable way.
