Liquiproof protective coating
22nd of March 2017
A London district has been trialling a new splashback wall coating designed to deter street urination.
The Brixton Business Improvement District (BID) has commissioned the developer of specialist protectant sprays Liquiproof to coat walls in Brixton town centre with a super-hydrophobic treatment.
The coating is a specialist compound featuring silica dioxide which forms an invisible, protective coating over the brick work making it impenetrable to liquid and easier to clean. It also provides mild anti-graffiti protection.
The treated walls now splash back urine if it hits the wall, covering the offender’s shoes and clothes instead of local buildings and walls that are left smelling and looking unsightly.
The specific locations of the treated walls are being closely guarded, but if successful the Liquiproof treatment will be rolled out across various other spots around the BID area.
