CD cycle track coatings - A plus at security

In order also to the safety aspects be sufficient to do, it are above all colored coated - with an epoxy resin of Possehl special’s building. The special products & CD coating RW& and & CD Radwegbeschichtung& make already from a distance visible the cycle tracks. On already over 600,000 square meters the coatings are of Possehl in the Netherlands.
With these it acts around solvent-free reaction resin systems on epoxy resin basis, into which after laying on colored quartz sand is interspersed. Its color is freely selectable. It provides for a handy surface, which reduces the accident risk in particular on wet roads. The products contain no softeners, which can evaporate, and remain permanently flexible. With it acts around the only material ISO-certified manufactured in Germany and on epoxy resin basis, which can be laid on on asphalt surfaces and keeps permanent.
Mixing of the two-component material (master and hardener component) is simple. After mixing it is poured on the surface, distributed evenly, after-rolled to equalizing and abgestreut immediately by hand with Colorsand. In this way two men furnish a work on one day of approximately 300 meters cycle track. The coated surfaces are again usable after few hours.
Contrary to cheaper products on acrylate basis the epoxy resins exhibit by far higher resistance to wear. Thus the epoxy resin coatings also still show of Possehl after five to ten years the same surface properties as after the transfer. This high resistance to wear is above all of advantage if the cycle track as & vorgezogener& Wheel strip beside or outside of the actual lane lies. The coatings can be used also to the optical organization of other surfaces. They are suitable besides for concrete surfaces and timber bridges.
