Denso ST protection for "safe routes for schools"

Denso ST protection for "safe routes for schools"Keywords: Winn & Coales (Denso), Coatings

UK's Surrey County Council has launched a "safe routes for schools" project, which has the objective of persuading parents to leave their cars at home and encourage their children to walk or cycle to school, but in safety.

This objective was put into practice when the council recently carried out maintenance and renovation of the parapet railings surrounding a subway on the route from Dorking Station to the Ashcombe school. Grenson Construction, who are contractors to Surrey County Council, recoated the parapet railings with Winn & Coales' Denso ST Epoxy, followed by a yellow topcoat of Denso Weathershield (see Plate 1). The Council says that the Denso ST Epoxy was specified for its claimed long life and ease of application. The yellow colour will be standard throughout the "safe routes for schools" programme, and it is planned to use the Winn & Coales' Denso coating system on four further subways along the A24.

Denso ST Epoxy is a mastic coating claiming exceptional adhesion properties. It can be spray or brush applied to deliver long-term protection in a wide range of corrosive environments.

Denso Weathershield is a urethane based material to give protection against sunlight and weathering to prevent discolouration and loss of gloss.
