Phosphorescent paint elastomer for roads and bike paths

Glow in the Dark Paint for Outdoor Roads and Bike Paths is an acrylic Water-based, solvent-free, non-harmful, odorless elastomer.

Its main function is to produce phosphorescence which allows better visibility of road markings in the dark.

This formula offers a high layer thickness, an excellent level of resistance, and very fast drying time. 'open air

Support: Bitumen and concrete*

Advantages

• Visibility in total darkness for 8 hours (Afterglow)

• Ecological solution for marking pathways during the period when public lights are turned off in the second part of the night

• Photoluminescence lifetime Unlimited and without loss of performance over the years

• Ease of application

• No maintenance or power supply

• Non-toxic.
• Highly resistant to water and abrasion
• High durability
• Highly resistant to oils and diesel

Disadvantage

Not effective in a bright atmosphere (presence of street lamps or street lighting)

Coverage

Depending on the condition of the substrate

In m²: 1 liter = 1 to 2 m²

Linear (width 10 cm): 1 liter = 9 m – 18 m

Dilution: Ready to use, 0 to 5% dilution (Roller and brush), 5 to 15% dilution (Spray gun)

Implementation:

Application by manual spray, or brush.

The phosphorescent paint for roads PH1041, Must be applied on a white background. It is recommended to use ST1041 white road paint as an undercoat.

The 2 layers of the Photoluminescent system for road and cycle path, must be applied on top of each other , with a time interval that should not exceed 6 hours, in order to ensure perfect cohesion between the 2 layers.

Application in one or more layers, in order to obtain a thickness of 150µm dry (about 250µm wet)

During application it is important to keep the mixture dispersed thanks to an automatic agitation system

Drying

Touch: 1 hour

Recoat: 1.5 hours

Traffic/pedestrian: 6-12 hours / Vehicle: 24/48 hours

Aspect

Glow-in-the-dark, greenish-white road paint

in an ambience of complete darkness, the appearance is a luminous green color

Form of delivery, mixing, and conservation

The product is two-component, it is delivered in the form of a resin accompanied by a powder

mixing is done by weight at the time of use, with 4 parts resin for one part of powder

The mixture remains perfectly usable for 1 year.

Luminance and afterglow performance

the luminance and the level or intensity of the phosphorescence, which is expressed in microcandella/m²

the afterglow and duration of the phosphorescent phenomenon, expressed in minutes, with measurements at 10 and 60 minutes

The ISO 17398 standard (See PDF at the bottom of the page) indicates certain levels of phosphorescence and classification.

To obtain class C: apply 100µm dry

to obtain class D: apply 150µm dry

In practice, the phosphorescence is stable and slightly decreases during the night.

With a significant thickness, the level of phosphorescence makes it possible to be sufficient to be visible until the dawn in areas where there is an absence of public lighting or light pollution.

Add reflective effect

It is possible to apply retro-reflective and transparent microbeads above the phosphorescent layer 2, in order to to combine Photoluminescent and reflective effects.

However, it is important to note that the reflective effect needs a white background to return the light.

It is therefore preferable to juxtapose a reflective white band and a phosphorescent band.
