Chewing Gum Repellent and Block Paving Protection

Imaginative designers and beautiful block paving products have transformed our city centres from desolate areas to quality living spaces. Features such as fountains and watercourses have brought the countryside into our towns. Urban renewal projects have brought back the past through modern construction in conservation areas. Traditional cobbled and granite setts have replaced the old unattractive paving slabs. Great attempts are being made to improve our environment but all block paved areas, all pedestrian environs must be protected to maintain their original appearance.

Local authorities and district councils have regular cleaning regimes that are highly effective in rubbish removal. For the removal of chewing gum, fast food contaminants and oil pollutants they must employ specialist-cleaning contractors. Whilst this approach is effective in the short term, it doesn’t stop the problem and it can be expensive for a one off operation. The aggressive methods such as high pressure, high temperature water jetting or chemical cleaning can also create new problems.

In no time the problem is back and the pavements are looking as bad as they ever did with more money having to be thrown at the streets.

Facilities managers responsible for shopping centres, hospitals, fast food outlets, and public transport are faced with the same problems. Yet little or nothing is done to protect the block paved surfaces after cleaning and so the expensive cycle goes on.
Taking a long-term view of the problem impregnating the paved areas when newly laid or after a deep clean is the most sensible approach. By applying an effective chewing gum repellent makes the paving much easier and cheaper to clean. Aggressive cleaning techniques may become a thing of the past replaced by simpler environmentally friendly methods with regular maintenance regimes.
By using Masterseal F1310 to impregnate all absorbent paving surfaces the original appearance of the pavement can be easily maintained.
Masterseal F1310 chemically bonds with the substrate for long lasting protection.
It doesn’t form a surface skin and so doesn’t change the appearance of the original paving and it can also last up to 10 years.

The major benefits of the product are:

reduction of chewing gum adhesion
protection against organic contaminants
reduction of staining by animal excrement
maintaining a non-slip surface even when wet
inhibits algae and moss growth
increases frost resistance
makes cleaning so much easier

The long term advantages of using Masterseal F1310 far outweigh the initial applied cost of the product. Maintaining the original look of the pavement, removal of chewing gum and regular cleaning will profit public areas and all who use them.
