Lake Asphalt of Trinidad and Tobago (LATT) has licenced two asphalt-based products developed by the Department of Chemistry in the Faculty of Science & Technology: UWI Plastic Cement and UWI Primer. The result of more than 12 years of research and development, the sealant and primer were formulated to withstand Caribbean heat, humidity and salt-water.
LATT will now have exclusive rights to manufacture, market and sell the new products. The licence agreement follows a memorandum of understanding signed between The UWI and Lake Asphalt in 2015 to collaborate on research, development and commercialisation of asphalt and asphalt-based products.
