About our Tyregrip® product
A premium, cold applied epoxy high friction surface treatment, offering an extremely durable and skid resistant surface.
Tyregrip® combines a thermosetting binder with calcined bauxite or granite aggregates to form an extremely durable skid resistant surface. It is available in red, blue, green, buff, and black with other colours on request, as well as delivering a skid resistant value of ≥65 initially, rising to ≥70 with wear.
Maximising safety in hazardous areas
Heavy traffic and urban density have forced a rethinking of acceptable methods to serve the travelling public in providing a safe environment. Tyregrip® is recognised and specified by highways agencies and municipalities worldwide as the ultimate solution to reducing loss of life and avoiding accidents in hazardous areas.
Multi-purpose safety system
Tyregrip® is a critical safety system designed to ensure safer driving conditions by delivering sustained skid resistance and enhanced traction. It significantly reduces braking distances, making it ideal for a wide range of high-risk applications including junctions, roundabouts, pedestrian crossings, and other accident-prone areas.
A pedestrian grade option is also available, providing slip-resistant surfacing for footpaths and cycleways.
