The newly fabricated link bridge connecting the Hotel Brooklyn and the Leicester Tigers Welford Road Stadium has been installed this week. Featuring a 3 coat protection paint system, including a polysiloxane top coat and our very own Permagrip PU anti-slip surfacing, the new footbridge is a welcome addition to both the stadium and adjacent hotel.
What is a polysiloxane top coat?
Polysiloxane top coats are usually a resin based hybrid coating designed for higher UV and corrosion resistance than standard polyurethane top coats. They also offer the best finish available, creating a smooth and even appearance. For more information on the system used on the project, please contact us directly on 01744 26526 or enquiries@nlwgroup.com.
Permagrip PU Anti-Slip Surfacing
Permagrip PU is a multi-component polyurethane resin designed for use with high friction aggregates that creates an anti-slip surface than almost eliminates the risk of slips. The UK Slip Resistance Group provides reference values for slip resistance using the pendulum test method:
PTV (Pendulum Test Value)
25 – 35
35 – 65
65 +
Potential for Slip
Moderate
Low
Extremely Low
Independently tested, Permagrip PU offers a PTV (Pendulum Test Value) of 70+ in both wet & dry conditions. Permagrip PU is available with a range of different aggregate types and grades, including Chinese and Guyanan Bauxite, Flint and Granite.
