nir-vana innovation network

The photoluminescent materials are already available for building and nautical sector and for fabrics. The company is also able to provide customers with an expert team of designers and design technicians (agreement with Design Campus of the University of Florence) for both outdoor and indoor use. Some fabrics and materials useful for the production of photoluminescent greenhouses for low insolation areas are currently being studied.
These materials are completely non-toxic and harmless (primary laboratory tests had been made to prove it). Most of the materials are protected by patent or patent rights at European patent centres.
The company is looking to enter into commercial agency or distribution agreements with sales agents and/or distribution partners in the building, nautical and design sectors.

Advantages & innovations

The developed materials are non-toxic, harmless and aesthetically pleasing. The use of these kind of materials allows saving not only the illumination costs but also substantially reducing, for example, of boat's fuel consumption as well as the amount of pollutions produced. Exposure to direct light (natural of artificial) for around 20 minutes, will allow the panel to release nocturnal photoluminescence for up to 8 hours.

Stage of development

Available for demonstration

Partner sought

Potential partners are agents and distribution companies in the field of building, nautical (yachting or luxury boats) and design (including furnishings).
