High Friction Surfacing provides a skid resistance surface and helps to reduce the potential for accidents to occur and contribute towards a safer environment, particularly during wet weather conditions.
Colas has been developing high friction surfacing materials for over 40 years. Our High Friction surfacing system and materials incorporate a range of aggregates designed to provide appropriate skid resistance, texture and colour. Colas' high friction surfacing system is Colasgrip.
Colasgrip was developed and manufactured at our Warrington depot by our highly skilled and technical Products and Materials division.

Only recently introduced to the market, Colasgrip is a modified and further enhanced form of our previous Spraygrip material. Colasgrip provides greater strength, aesthetic benefits and is a low toxic material, non-carcinogenic material. Colasgrip is also applied by our experienced teams nationally throughout the UK.

To date Colasgrip is building a solid reputation for providing high strength surfaces at a variety of locations. In situations where there is potential for high lateral stress caused be vehicles and high volumes of traffic a synethic resin is recommended.

Colasgrip provides a colourless epoxy resin binder, which maybe coloured by the addition of pigment to blend with the customer's choice of aggregate. The durable and lox toxic qualities make it an ideal surfacing treatment for both urban routes and sites and decorative surfacing schemes.

Colasgrip can be applied on the approaches to

• Pedestrian Crossings
• Traffic Signals
• Roundabouts
• Junctions

and on

• Motorway junctions
• Feeder and exit lanes
• Fast bends
• Lane merging
• Bridge decks
• Bus lanes
• Cycle lanes
• Decorative Surfacing Schemes

Colasgrip provides high performance and durability and survive the high levels of stress and traffic.

Colasgrip durability will ensure reduced whole life costs.

High strength treatment is low toxic

Colasgrip is providing high strength and highly aesthetic surfaces at a variety of locations - and in a 'Low Toxic' form claimed to be non-carcinogenic

Colasgrip is rapidly gaining recognition as a reputable treatment for providing a high strength and aesthetic surface at a variety of locations. In London Colasgrip was applied at the National Gallery as decorative finish which complements the surrounding environment and buildings. The Gallery needed a strengthened surface treatment for its underground service area for supporting rubbish bins and a large bulking skip. However they also wanted a treatment which provided a decorative finish.

As a colourless epoxy resin binder through the addition of pigment and selection of coloured aggregates, the National Gallery achieved a finish with met their specifications, grey bauxites were used to provide the greatest strength and durability and desired surface colour.

The material has proven to be a high quality and superior material offering the combined benefits of low toxic properties, enhanced durability and a decorative high friction surfacing.
