Pineuilh secures locks with LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint

In September 2020, the commune of Pineuilh in Gironde undertook a project to improve road safety on the Route du Seignal. Locks, considered accident-prone due to their poor night-time visibility, were fitted with LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint markings. This initiative, carried out by the municipal technical department, was designed to help motorists better locate these infrastructures beyond the range of headlights, thus enabling them to better anticipate hazards in dark areas.

The benefits of LuminoKrom®: an innovative solution for road safety

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 environmentally-friendly solution for local authorities wishing to secure their infrastructures in a sustainable way.
