Surface preparation

Substrate Preparation Priming

Concrete Concrete surfaces must be at least 30 days old or
with more than 5% moisture content. Remove all
contamination and detritus including oils and
greases, laitance, algae, moss, road salt, loose
material, etc. Lightly texture the surface by
vacuum blasting and/or other mechanical means.
Remove residue by vacuum.
Deep oil contamination to be removed using hot
compressed air. Existing thermoplastic markings
to be removed or worked around. Dry thoroughly Apply Europrime CT and allow
to cure tack free (between 2 & 3
hrs depending on temperature
and humidity).
Apply Eurogrip 4500 within
24hrs of tack free failing which
the area must be reprimed. If
left longer than 3 days the
surface should also be lightly
abraded.

Bitumen
Bound
Materials The surface must be in reasonable condition and of
sufficient strength to accept the surfacing (must not
soften at high temperatures), not excessively
smooth*, rutted, cracked or subject to aggregate
raveling, etc. It must be at least 30 days old and
have a surface texture that will provide a good
mechanical key e.g. / SMA or open graded
materials (refer Optus). Sand carpet or materials
using high penetration bitumen are generally
unsuitable as substrates.
Remove all contamination including oils and
greases, road salt, loose material, etc. Existing
thermoplastic markings to be removed or worked
around. Sweep clean to remove all dust. Allow to
dry thoroughly.
*Depending on the condition of the surface it may
require to be lightly textured. No primer required

Timber Timber must be completely dry throughout
before considering treatment. Eurogrip 4500
should not be applied if there is any risk of water
retention in the wood.
Timber contaminated by oils and greases, etc is
not suitably for treatment.
Lightly sand and sweep/vacuum clean.
If possible timber should be sealed all round. Apply Europrime CT and allow
to cure tack free (between 2
and 3 hrs depending on temp
and humidity.
Apply Eurogrip 4500 within
24hrs of tack free failing which
the area must be reprimed. If
left longer than 3 days the
surface should also be lightly
abraded.

Steel Remove all rust, mill scale and surface
contamination 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 and the residue
flushed off with water
Allow to dry thoroughly. Apply Europrime FM within 4
hrs of surface preparation.
Allow to cure tack free (2–3hrs
depending on temp and
humidity). Eurogrip 4500
should then be applied during
the following 10 hrs 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 4500 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. Mix only one unit at a time. Pour the mixed material onto the surface and immediately spread using a serrated squeegee 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.

Technical Details & Test Data

Coverage and Cure: 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 the resin base generally falls in the range of 4 to 5kg/m². Onto open graded bitumen based substrates coverage may be significantly reduced. In this event a scratch coat may be used. Aggregate loading varies with the chosen aggregate size and type but is typically between 12 and 14kg/m².

Always ensure that there is always excess aggregate available on site to ensure full coverage prior to sweeping. Aggregate is available in a range of natural colors and sizes and in more vivid colors as coated aggregates.

Curing times: -

Initial set @ 20°C- 1 hour

Open to traffic @ 20°C- 2½ hours

Packaging & Availability

Packaging Type: Bags
Packaging: Eurogrip 4500 is supplied in 23 kg units and in 3 components. Packaging is 3ltr pot (pack A), 10ltr pot (pack B) and 12kg bag (pack C).

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