The first bicycle path equipped with LuminoKrom photoluminescent marking was inaugurated in 2018. Since then, this technology has become popular and is being used in all four corners of France. This LuminoKrom paint was developed by the company Olikrom (Pessac, 33), in partnership with the Eiffage Group. 

LuminoKrom® photoluminescent paint contributes to the emergence of tomorrow’s infrastructures, which must be safer, more economical and more environmentally responsible. This innovation has been approved by the ADEME’s “Road of the Future” program.

LuminoKrom® marking exploits the natural phenomenon of photoluminescence. This physical process allows the paint to recharge indefinitely under daylight or artificial lighting without any fatigue. The LuminoKrom® innovation lies in the fact that it has developed photoluminescent markings that are very resistant outdoors and able to store the surrounding light to emit a diffuse luminosity at night, visible for over 10 hours. This innovation allows to light up roads and bicycle paths but also to respond to the current issues of light pollution.
