Tech Tuesdays: "Starpath spray-on coating lights up the road"

Article: http://www.gizmag.com/pathway-sprayon-coating/29468/ 

A company in the UK called Pro-Teq developed Starpath which is a spray-on coating that lights up the road. It works by absorbing UV light during the day and releasing it at night as an intense glow. The coating has been proven to work best over tarmac or concrete.

The spray coating is water-resistant and non-reflective. It is also available in 11 different colors. In addition, Starpath has very low installation and maintenance costs. Not only is the coating cost saving but also labor efficient.

Additionally,  the surface can be used almost immediately after being sprayed. All in all, the product has many good aspects and advantages. However, it does have a setback. During the winter months, the path would not be able to absorb much light, and it can also get covered in snow.
