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, ship decks, 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. 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 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

Image

An anti-slip system suitable for use on roads, bridges, multistorey car parks, airports, boat decks, and 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 a high friction grit/aggregate that is broadcast onto the surface. Optus will advise on aggregate size, type, and supplier.

Benefits

  • Cures down to 5oC.
  • Solvent free
  • Flexible
  • Can be used on concrete, asphalt, timber, and metal.
