The highly durable feature of WeatherGrip, the coloured surfacing system from 8037 WJ, makes it suitable for areas subjected to high wear and stress through braking forces of vehicles and bicycles.

As such, WeatherGrip meets the 2387 Transport for London (TfL) specification for shared use of cycleways and has been used on London’s cycle super-highways.

WeatherGrip, part of WJ's WeatherLine range, is a cold applied coloured surfacing system based on two-part solvent-free methyl methacrylate (MMA) technology.

WJ applies the surfacing by spray or hand and it can be installed in reflective or non-reflective options. It also is fast curing, even at low temperature with areas to be treated typically open for use within one hour.

The result is a colour-fast skid-resistant demarcation for cycleways, bus lanes, traffic calming and other large and small highway and non-highway applications.

WeatherGrip can also be used to revitalise existing worn and faded surface markings providing a cost-effective colourfast highway maintenance solution.
