Epoxy Solutions for Safer Roads in the UK

When UK-based Trustseal set out to deliver durable, high-friction surfacing and professional road-marking services, one factor proved essential to its success: the consistent quality and performance of its materials. Operating mainly in the United Kingdom and Ireland and working closely with local authorities and councils, Trustseal must continuously demonstrate that its products meet strict technical standards and accreditation requirements.

To achieve this, the company relies on strong partnerships with suppliers who understand its industry, and who can guarantee dependable, specification-driven materials. For more than a decade, De Monchy International has fulfilled that role, supplying epoxy systems tailored to Trustseal’s demanding applications. Together, the companies contribute to safer traffic conditions across the UK.

The challenge: consistent quality under strict accreditation standards

Trustseal’s projects must comply with highly exact technical specifications. Even the smallest deviation can jeopardise certification, and with it, the ability to deliver accredited, government-approved work.

‘The material we produce must stay within very tight tolerances. If we drift slightly away from that, we risk losing our accreditation.’
Matt Booth, General Manager, Trustseal

The epoxy systems used in high-friction surfacing therefore need to be reliable, consistent and fully aligned with industry performance requirements. At the same time, Trustseal sought a streamlined, single-supplier setup with one dedicated point of contact, ensuring short communication lines and fast response times in a dynamic project environment.

A trusted long-term partnership

Over the past 15 years, and especially during the last 10 years, the cooperation between Trustseal and De Monchy International has intensified. Today, De Monchy serves as Trustseal’s primary epoxy supplier, supported by a relationship built on service, continuity and personal commitment.

“We wanted one supplier and one contact. Our cooperation with David Ballantine and De Monchy International is perfect and very light touch. If we need anything, we can reach David immediately. If we are busy, then David is busy.”
Matt Booth, General Manager, Trustseal

From De Monchy’s side, the relationship is equally longstanding and personal.

“Our partnership with Trustseal is based on trust and service. I’ve known Technical Manager Rob Horne for more than 25 years. It’s a consistent business with stable people, and that continuity really benefits the cooperation.”
David Ballantine, Product Manager, De Monchy International

The impact: accreditation security and supply reliability

The epoxy systems supplied by De Monchy International are tailored to Trustseal’s application and play a critical role in maintaining accreditation. Losing certification would mean a lengthy re-approval process, with significant operational and commercial impact.

“The epoxy we buy from De Monchy International meets our exact specifications. It is essential for maintaining our accreditation, and that makes the cooperation extremely valuable.”
Matt Booth, General Manager, Trustseal

Despite challenging market conditions and pressure on global supply chains, De Monchy continues to prioritize Trustseal to ensure availability, continuity and dependable delivery.

“We know we are Trustseal’s main supplier, and that they rely on us. That’s why we prioritize service and consistency. It is very much a matter of trust.”
David Ballantine, Product Manager, De Monchy International

A partnership that supports safer roads

Looking ahead, the relationship between Trustseal and De Monchy International remains strategically important, both in the short and long term. Maintaining accredited material performance is key to Trustseal’s work and to its mission of improving road safety across the United Kingdom.

“A strong partnership with De Monchy International will remain vital for us. It protects our accreditation and allows us to keep delivering safe, high-quality road surfacing solutions.”
