| The tiny island of La Réunion in the Southern Indian
Ocean, just south of Madagascar is a surfer's paradise. However the
severe tropical climate means that street furniture, particularly at the
sea front, needs a world-class coating to protect it from severe
conditions
The fishing village of St. Leu known as "Surf Mecca" is home to one
of the most famous waves in the world and hosts many surfing
competitions including the famous "Rip Curl" World Cup which took place
there in 1999.
As preparation for this world-class event, the sea front at St. Leu
was refurbished. This included coating the lampposts and flag masts with
Plascoat PPA 571. The esplanade was made immaculate and the coating is
still pristine today.
A spokesman said - "La Réunion suffers from very harsh conditions,
high humidity, intense UV and devastating cyclones. This means that
coatings have to be highly protective and extremely long lasting. PPA
571 has proved that over the last three years it has stood all of these
elements and we are confident that it will last for many years to
come"..
PPA 571 is available for both fluidised bed dip coating and
electrostatic spraying.
