Technology

LUMIPHALT® is a patented luminosity technology that provides materials, techniques and decorative properties that can not be compared with the construction market.

The use of Lumiphalt® allows decorative horizontal surfaces, facades, prefabricated parts and floor coverings to be decorated with a bright glow at night.

Specifically, the self-illuminating surface absorbs electromagnetic radiation during the day and emits the accumulated energy in the form of light in the dark. This cycle is repeated on a daily basis.

The time that the self-illuminating surface radiates depends on many factors. The cleanliness of the substrate, the quality of daylight and sunlight and the peripheral lighting during the night belong to them.

The greatest intensity of the phenomenon is observed in the first two hours after sunset. Then there is a reduction of the phenomenon that can last until the early morning hours during the summer.

This technology provides a new perspective on asphalt and other materials and emphasizes architectural lines in the dark.

Lumiphalt® also improves the visual comfort of the users.

Decoration

Unique aesthetic and color properties

• Different visual effects in light and dark
• Selection of day colors that are different from the colors that are visible at night
• Day colors that mimic naturally dormant
• Influence on architectural lines
  Horizontal (concrete landscaping, decorative floor…)
  Vertical (building facades…)
• Improved visibility and quality of life
• The spaces are defined more clearly, making it easier for users to find their way in the dark

Duration of Brightness

• Long lasting material:

The material is designed for intensive use and its performance will not degrade over time

• Energy efficiency:

It can in some cases replace electric lighting at night or dim lighting

• Environmentally friendly:

Composite products made from recycled materials

Effectiveness

• Excellent flash time (more than 10 hours)
• Good resistance:
  fracture due to impact
  friction wear

Easy installation and maintenance

• Easy installation

Uses the same production process as decorative concrete / asphalt

• No additional maintenance costs

Self-leveling asphalt or concrete is retained like conventional decorative concrete / asphalt

• Autonomous procedure

The energy absorption and emission cycles alternate without external intervention

Color palette

The luminescent aggregates are available in various stone sizes, ranging from 1mm to 10mm and three colors:

security yellow,
blue aqua
turquoise.

We produce only the above glow colors in the dark that provide the highest performance and glow life. The set will continue to shine for over 20 years.

• Garden paths and sidewalks
• Verandas
• Bicycle paths
• Squares
• Surrounding pool area
• Sidewalks, cycle paths and roundabouts without lighting
• Pedestrian crossings without lighting
• Exposed aggregate and polished concrete
• Facades of Buildings
• Pavement slabs
• Road marking
• Playground coatings

Innovative LUMIPHALT® Coating methodology of STRABAG, for the construction of self-illuminated road surface for concrete or asphalt surfaces with luminescent aggregates, dimensions up to 4 mm

The minimum content is 500gr / m2 properly processed to be protected from external environmental conditions. As a result, they are embedded in the surface of concrete or asphalt.

Luminescent aggregates must be CE certified so that they do not affect the environment and are safe for humans.

The self-illuminating surface absorbs electromagnetic radiation in visible, ultraviolet or infrared areas during the day. It then emits the accumulated energy in the form of light after sunset

This cycle is repeated on a daily basis. The time it irradiates depends on many factors. The cleanliness of the substrate, the quality of daylight and sunlight and the peripheral lighting during the night are some.

The greatest intensity of the phenomenon is observed in the first two hours after sunset. Then there is a reduction of the phenomenon that can last until the early morning hours and during the summer.

Innovative LUMIPHALT® Asphalt methodology of STRABAG for the construction of self-illuminated asphalt traffic layer with luminescent layer of aggregates of dimensions 4mm to 10mm.

Its content is 500gr / m2 and is processed in such a way as to be protected from the influence of external factors. Asphalt mix is ​​used, prepared hot with hard crushed aggregates of quarry, dense composition.
