Eurogrip 1500

Description

product image :: anti-skid coating Anti-skid surface coatings for roads, bridges, pedestrian crossings, car parks, ships' decks and generally anywhere where slip and skid resistance is important.

Safety has never been more important and the public's awareness never so high. There is a clear need to both incorporate non-slip surfaces into capital works and to carry out improvements to existing surfaces. Skid resistance of any surface is inevitably degraded by use particularly as a result of heavy vehicle movements and high shear forces on ramps, bends, etc.

The Eurogrip 1500 system combines tough but flexible polyurethane resins with highly abrasion resistant aggregate, calcined bauxite. Unlike many systems Eurogrip cures very quickly. Disruption is therefore minimal and a surface can be returned to full use in about 3 hours depending on temperature. It also cures at low temperatures, has excellent adhesion qualities and does not embrittle with age.

Benefits

Benefits include:

Long service life compared with other similar systems
Cold applied using only a roller
Low hazard materials
No need to remove road markings
Resistant to oils and solvents
Minimal maintenance
Minimal traffic disruption
Suitable for a wide range of substrates (bitumen, concrete, timber, steel, etc)
Low initial and whole life cost

Application

Ambient temperatures should be between 5 and 30^oC during application and cure. Dry weather conditions and a dry substrate are essential. For low temperature application onto a sloping surface contact Optus.

Preparation of Substrate

STEEL

Remove all rust, mill scale and surface contamination by grit blasting and other mechanical means to a bright rust free surface (SA2½).
Remove oil and grease contamination with a suitable cleaning fluid and flush off residue with water.
Allow to dry thoroughly.

For other non ferrous metals – refer to Optus.

PRIMING

Prime immediately with Europrime FM following surface preparation.
Allow to cure tack free (on average 2 hours).
Eurogrip should then be applied during the following 10 hours, failing which the area should be reprimed.

Surfacing (Base & Aggregate Scatter)

Strict compliance with the mixing and laying procedure is critical – mixing times must not be exceeded.

Materials include Eurogrip 1500 which comes as 2 components. It is used in conjunction with the customers chosen aggregate.

Pour the contents of Pack B into a suitable mixing vessel and mix using a drill and paddle until homogeneous. Whilst still mixing, add the contents of Pack A and continue mixing for a further 20 seconds.

Roll the mixed material onto the surface to the specified coverage (do not spread too thinly).

Broadcast the chosen aggregate onto the surface ensuring that there is no resin showing through.

Remove any tape when resin starts to gel and excess aggregate when the surface becomes stable. This will vary with both product and ambient temperature.

Coverage/Cure Rate

Both coverage and cure depend on ambient and surface temperatures, the type and condition of the substrate and the aggregate temperature and size.

Eurogrip 1500 must be laid at a coverage between1.3 and 1.5kg/m².

Grit loading varies with the chosen aggregate size and type. Typically for a 0.9 to 1.4mm grit it would be 5kg/m².

Note: Always ensure that there is always excess aggregate available on site to achieve full coverage prior to sweeping.

Grit is available in a range of natural colours and sizes.
