STARPATH Provides Efficient Ambient Lighting at Night
On especially clear, moonless nights I can look up and see the Milky Way scattered across the sky, looking like diamonds someone has carelessly spilled across the heavens -- or like a trail leading to somewhere new and exciting, if only I could upend myself and walk on it. An innovative new product
Posted — UpdatedBut how good is that resurfacing for the people walking on the pavement? The developer, PRO-TEQ, is a bit of an expert in pavement surfacing and polyurethane treatments, fortunately. This product is non-slip, which can actually make it safer than existing surfaces, and it's also water resistant. In areas with frequent rainy weather like the United Kingdom, where PRO-TEQ is based, materials scientists have to know how to keep water off the surfaces they develop, and how to address the need for slip-resistance in outdoor surfaces, so STARPATH is about as snug and secure as you can get.
In addition, it's been specifically designed with mixed uses including cycling and walking in mind, so it accommodates a variety of mobility levels and ways of getting around. Thanks to the high visibility provided, the risk of accidents is also lower. In college towns and other high-traffic areas, this is an important feature.
It's also rather beautiful. Several particle sizes are available to change the look and feel of the glowing pathway, which stretches off into the distance like something out of a fairy tale. The highly cost-effective surfacing material could be a great choice for organizations, city planners, and individuals who want an affordable, beautiful, efficient, and highly-functional coating for paved surfaces. It doesn't take long to apply and harden, so here's hoping it works its way around the world, because I can't wait to see it around my town.
