Description
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION – Glow in the dark water-based paint
Our photoluminescent paint has the ability to glow in the dark after being exposed to a natural or artificial light source. This property is based on the integration of specific pigments that capture light during the day and gradually release it at night, creating a luminous mark visible for several hours.
LuminoKrom® photoluminescent waterborne paint combines technical performance with respect for the environment. It retains the advantages of waterborne coatings, low VOC emissions, easy cleaning, low ecological impact, while providing effective lighting, enhancing safety and legibility for night-time travel.
LuminoKrom® offers a complete range of phosphorescent paints for a variety of substrates and uses. In addition to our solvent-based offering for road infrastructures, we are developing several water-based solutions, available in a range of shades: white, yellow and almond green, to suit every context of use.
PAINT PERFORMANCE
- Long-lasting luminosity : 6-hour autonomous light duration
- Certified E class (CE ISO17398 standard)
- Glow in the dark paint recharges in daylight, even under cover in the forest or in poor conditions (rain, fog…), or artificially in enclosed spaces.
- Recharge capacity in just a few minutes

APPLICATION
TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE WATER-BASED PAINT APPLICATION
It's important to apply our luminescent marking to a white undercoat. This white undercoat amplifies the luminous effect of the phosphorescent technology and optimizes light radiation.
The road surface must be at least one month old before use. It must be dry, clean and free from all traces of pollution, oil or grease (due to the ambient air or to the repeated passage of car wheels or other vehicles). The surface must also be sufficiently rough for the coating to adhere to.

If necessary, the application area can be cleaned with water and then thoroughly dried before painting.
Our waterborne photoluminescent paint is applied by hand, either with a roller or a brush. For brush application, we recommend the use of equipment suitable for water-based paints. When applying with a roller, use a model with short bristles (6 to 8 mm) for an even finish. Please note: this paint is not compatible with pressure application.
LuminoKrom® waterborne products are ready-to-use, and require no dilution before application.

Steps for applying blue water-based paint
- Clean the surface to be painted with water or a suitable cleaner.
- Use tape or stencils to mark the lines or symbols to be painted, to ensure clean, precise lines. This also helps to delimit the areas to be painted and protect the rest of the environment.
- Apply the first white undercoat at a dosage of 400 g/m².
- Allow the first coat to dry for the time specified by the undercoat supplier. Generally speaking, we recommend a drying time of 2 hours between the undercoat and the first coat of LuminoKrom®.
- Prepare your equipment and clean the necessary tools with water.
- Prepare the luminescent paint by homogenizing the LuminoKrom® material in the pot. It must be thoroughly mixed before use to ensure a homogeneous consistency.
- Apply a coat of LuminoKrom® blue luminescent paint, targeting a dosage of 900g/m². Be sure to follow the weight and speed recommendations given on the technical data sheet for each of our waterborne references.
- If you apply the marking with a brush, apply a second coat. If you have chosen brush application, 2 additional coats will be required.
- Allow to dry for 24 hours. Drying time may vary slightly depending on the environment and ambient temperature at the time of installation. During this period, it is important to protect the painted area from traffic and bad weather, to avoid walking on the painted floor.
- After installation, clean your tools with water to remove all substances.

FEEDBACK AND CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
Find out all the opinions and feedback on our range of phosphorescent markings, including our water-based road paint.
« This stretch of road was notorious for accidents, with many people falling off their bikes. That's why we chose it for our experiment. It's a soft light, which doesn't generate light pollution, but provides simple guidance in dark areas. »
Philippe Scheibling, Head of the Public Roads and Networks Department, City of Colmar
« That's the difference between two places where there's no street lighting! Even with a light on your bike, it really helps. »
Cécilia, Comité Pro Vélo Chablais
