ANTI-SKID

Anti-Skid Coating

Anti-slip coatings are used to improve the frictional characteristics of a surface whether it be a road, a factory floor, pontoon, ships deck, steps or any area where there is a risk of slipping or skidding.

These coatings involve the application of a layer of ‘high friction’ aggregate to the surface being treated. This aggregate is firmly bonded to the surface by a resin adhesive and with different combinations of resin and aggregate most performance requirements can be met.

This type of system is known as "coat and scatter" and is a feature of most of the high friction systems manufactured by Optus. The resin slurry effectively bonds the aggregate to the surface with a final thickness and frictional characteristics dependent on the size and type.

A clear or coloured seal coat can be applied to the surface to maintain its visual appearance and to make it easier to clean.

Eurogrip

large parking lot filled with cars. woman is walking by.

An anti-slip system suitable for use on roads, bridges, multistorey car parks, airports, boat decks and in many other areas where a heavy duty solution is called for.

Eurogrip can be applied to concrete, asphalt, steel or timber. It is a fast curing, 3 component anti-slip system that is suitable for aggregate sizes ranging from 0.5 to 3mm. Eurogrip is applied with a notched squeegee following which high friction grit/aggregate is broadcast onto the surface. Optus will advise on aggregate size, type and supplier.
