Resin bonded aggregate surfacing is used for two distinct applications.  

Bonding natural stone aggregates to concrete, timber, tarmac, asphalt with a fast curing resin adhesive creates the natural look of stone but without the inherent mess of loose gravel. This helps maintain a clean, well defined surface which is both attractive and functional. A choice of aggregate colours, tints and sizes satisfies the demands of landscape designers, architects and users.

 

The quick acting resin adhesive allows surfaces to be coated and opened up for foot and heavier traffic after only a few hours, minimising disruption in parks, landscaped gardens, ornamental areas, museums, stadia.

 

The second use of resin bonded aggregate is the creation of slip-resistant surfaces for foot and industrial traffic in factories, warehouses, loading bays, steps and ramps. Hard angular aggregates provide the slip resistance, the resin provides the bond between the aggregate and the substrate. A seal coat surrounds the aggregate and aids retention and cleaning. The use of different coloured aggregates such as red and green allows safe and hazard areas to be clearly identified.

 

Treated surfaces can be opened to pedestrian and heavier traffic within just a few hours, depending on the system used.
