Chewing Gum Removal/Protection

Chewing gum adhesion to pedestrianised and paved areas has become an enormous and growing problem in every city/town centre across the UK.

If left it proliferates quickly as it encourages a ‘why should I care’ attitude amongst the population. It disfigures paving, sticks to shoes, is desperately difficult and expensive to remove, leaving staining as its aftermath.

Everyone wants rid of the problem but answers have to date been difficult to find. Until now that is.

The QSS Solution?

We have protective impregnations that transform paved areas into being chewing gum resistant – a proven fact! Tests reveal that gum adhesion levels reduce by circa 60% when compared to untreated paving.

That’s not all. The residual gum that does cling on can typically be removed in 50% less time thereby making surface maintenance a much more cost effective experience.

Finally, once a surface has been cleaned and treated post gum removal staining is demonstrably reduced.
