LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint deposited on the RN2 certification site

The OliKrom and Eiffage teams have deployed all their know-how to obtain NF certification for LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint. Several years of research were necessary to obtain a paint that conforms to road use, combining coverage, colourimetry and chemical stability with optimal luminous performance in terms of intensity and duration.

A complete range of photoluminescent coatings has been developed to cover all road, urban, pedestrian and cycle applications: Green Almond Photoluminescent Paint, White Urban Photoluminescent Paint, White Retroreflective Photoluminescent Paint, White Photoluminescent Cold Coating.

The prediction of the temporal degradation of road markings is an important issue in the optimisation of road management. Each year, Cerema (Centre d'Etudes et d'Expertise sur les Risques, l'Environnement, la Mobilité et l'Aménagement) is asked by the Association pour la Certification et la Qualification des Equipements de la Route (ASCQUER) to conduct the NF certification campaign for road marking products on the experimental site of the RN2 located at Boissy Fresnoy in the Oise department.

 

A pilot project for the approval of photoluminescent markings

In June 2018, OliKrom and Eiffage teams collaborated to apply LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint on the RN2 experimental site at Boissy-Fresnoy, in the Oise region. This initiative was aimed at obtaining NF certification for this innovative marking, essential for its deployment on French roads. The certification process, supervised by Cerema on behalf of ASCQUER, assesses the durability and performance of road markings in real-life conditions, in particular their resistance to traffic and weathering.

 

The benefits of LuminoKrom®: a durable, high-performance solution

LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint stands out for its ability to absorb natural or artificial light during the day and restore it for over 10 hours in the dark, without requiring a power supply or emitting CO₂. This technology offers enhanced night-time visibility, reinforcing user safety, while reducing light pollution. What's more, its application is comparable to that of conventional road paint, making it easy to integrate into a variety of urban and road development projects.
