Eurogrip Marine

Description

anti-skid marine coatings High friction surface coatings for decks and ramps giving improved slip and skid resistance under all conditions.

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 new-build and to improve existing vessels and access ramps to similar standards. Skid resistance is inevitably degraded by use particularly as a result of heavy vehicle and 'tractor' movements and the high shear forces experienced on ramps.

Designed for use with primer onto deck plate on ferries, car carriers and similar vessels, as well as dockside areas, piers, etc., the Eurogrip Marine system combines tough but flexible polyurethane resins with highly abrasion resistant aggregate. Unlike many systems Eurogrip cures very quickly. Disruption is minimal and a surface can be returned to full use in about 3 hours depending on temperature. It also cures at low temperatures, adheres tenaciously to steel and timber, and does not embrittle with age.

Benefits

Benefits include:

Improved safety, better breaking, reduced accidents
Long service life compared with other similar systems
Minimal disruption to commercial operations - (rapid cure)
Cold applied using mixer and squeegee
Low hazard materials
Reduced wear on tractor vehicles
Resistant to oils and solvents
Combines high friction with waterproofing
Minimal maintenance
Suitable for a wide range of substrates (steel, bitumen, timber, etc)
Low initial and whole life cost

Approvals

Eurogrip Marine is the trade name of Eurogrip FR3000 which has been independently tested and in compliance with IMO Resolution A.653 (16)as amended by Resolution MSC61 (67): Annex 1, Part 5 (fire test for surface flammability of materials).

Application

Ambient temperature should be between 5 and 30^oC during application and cure. Dry weather conditions and a dry substrate are essential.

For low temperature application or application onto a ramp or steeply sloping surface contact Optus.

Preparation of Substrate

STEEL

Remove all rust, mill scale and surface contamination from deck plates by grit blasting and other mechanical means to a bright rust free surface (SA2½).
Oil and grease contamination should be removed with a suitable cleaning fluid/degreasant and the residue flushed off with water. Allow to dry thoroughly.

TIMBER

Timber must be completely dry throughout before considering treatment
Timber contaminated by oils and greases, etc is not suitably for treatment.
Lightly sand and sweep/vacuum clean.
Timber products should be sealed all round.

PRIMING

Prime within 4 hours of surface preparation (Europrime FM on steel,
Europrime CT on timber)
Allow to cure tack free (on average 2 hours).
Eurogrip Marine should be applied within 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 Marine, which comes as 3 components. It is used in conjunction with the customer's 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 20secs. Whilst still mixing slowly add the contents of Pack C and continue for 40secs until a homogeneous mixture is achieved.

Pour the mixed material onto the surface and immediately spread using a serrated squeegee - do not spread too thinly (refer to coverage rates)..

Broadcast the chosen aggregate onto the surface ensuring that there is no resin showing through. Remove excess aggregate after about an hour.

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.

Coverage of Eurogrip Marine shall not exceed the following:

Foot traffic: 2.0 to 2.5kg/m² (av 10.2m²/unit)
Vehicle traffic: 2.5 to 3.0kg/m² (av 8.4m²/unit)

Aggregate loading varies with the chosen aggregate size and type.
Typically:

Foot traffic: 5kg/m² (0.9 to 1.4mm agg)
Vehicle traffic: 9kg/m² (1 to 3mm agg)

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

Aggregate is available in a range of natural colours and sizes and in more vivid colours as coated aggregates.

Curing times

Initial set @ 20^oC: 1 hour
Open to traffic @ 20^oC: 2½ hours

Packaging

Eurogrip Marine is supplied in 23 kg units and in 3 components. Packaging is 3ltr pot (pack A), 10ltr pot (pack B) and 10kg bag (pack C).

Aggregate is not included and must be purchased separately to the customer's specific requirements for anti-skid performance, colour and texture.
