Why choose a paint with very low VOC content?
Choosing paint with very low VOC (volatile organic compound) content helps preserve indoor comfort and air quality. Its formulation limits fumes and reduces odors during application, making it more pleasant to use on a daily basis. It is particularly suitable for occupied spaces such as homes, offices, or public buildings. Choosing a low-VOC paint means opting for a solution that is more user-friendly and suited to contemporary indoor environments.
Is this paint applied like conventional paint?
LuminoKrom® Pistache decorative photoluminescent paint is applied in the same way as traditional interior wall paint. Two even coats, applied with a roller or brush, are sufficient to achieve a uniform finish and optimal light performance. Ready to use, it requires no dilution or special equipment, making it easy and convenient to apply for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
Is the white underlay mandatory?
Applying a white base coat is highly recommended to ensure optimal photoluminescent performance. This clear coat promotes light recharge and provides more intense and longer-lasting luminescence in the dark. Without a white background, the luminous effect would be significantly reduced. However, if the wall is already light-colored, uniform, and in perfect condition, adding an additional undercoat is not essential.
How much paint should I buy?
When applied as recommended (2 coats), consumption is approximately 900 g/m². This corresponds to an indicative coverage of:
≈ 5 m² for a 5 kg container
≈ 15 m² for a 15 kg container
These values may vary slightly depending on the nature of the substrate and the application conditions.
How do I activate the luminescence after application?
Photoluminescent paint naturally recharges when exposed to ambient light, whether from the sun or indoor lighting. Once the room is plunged into darkness, it gradually releases the accumulated energy in the form of a soft, visible green light, creating a subtle and evolving atmosphere.
Does photoluminescent paint work with LED lighting?
Yes. LuminoKrom® Pistachio photoluminescent paint recharges effectively under LED lighting, just as it does under natural light or any other indoor light source. Sufficient exposure to light ensures optimal light output once the room is plunged into darkness.
