Würenlos Motorway Services

The Würenlos motorway bridge between Zürich and Baden is the largest in Europe, popularly known as the «feeding trough». More than 120,000 vehicles whoosh underneath it, day in and day out. Soot and dirt particles, light and UV rays, wind and weather: because the façade is exposed to the most extreme conditions, it is ideal for “road testing” Qualiprotec.

In summer 2010 two square meters of the aluminium façade were cleaned (dirt and chalking removed) with Qualiprotec Cleaner N, then cleaned thoroughly with Qualiprotec Abrasive B and white pad to achieve a clean, slightly roughened surface. Finally Qualiprotec Re-Vitaliser Q35, a clear satin-gloss coating, was applied. Result: the original color looks just like new. Inspection after three years proves: there is zero change in color. The motorway “road test” underlines the excellent results of the Florida test, the toughest color test in the world.

Competences in this project

Raindrops on a lotus leaf – the water just rolls off. A fried egg in the pan – it slips off the Teflon without sticking. This is exactly how our Lumiflon fluoropolymer coatings work: they repel water, dirt particles do not adhere to the surface, moss and lichen cannot gain a foothold. The paints of the Vernicron FP premium line will protect your metallic façade for years, without losing gloss or color. This has been proved by the Florida test, the toughest paint testing system in the world.
