We no longer stock this product, but can recommend RSL Resubind CP as a great alternative.

Resugrip is a three-component binder that can be used both internally and externally when anti-slip needs to be high-wear resistant. It is not UV stable, but can be top coated with these components if required.

Its composition make it perfect for public domains where footfall is heavy, water or rainfall likely, or where food and drink may be trod into flooring. It can be applied to weathered stable tarmac, wood, steel, asphalt and concrete.

Recommended Uses

• Theme parks
• Playgrounds
• Public concourses
• Walkways around industrial buildings
• Demarcation of non-slip environments 

Preparation

New Concrete Floors: New concrete must be clean, sound, dry, fully cured and surface laitance removed by vacuum enclosed shot blasting or mechanical grinding. A minimum strength of 25N/mm squared is required.

Existing Concrete Floors: Remove all dirt, oil, grease, old paint or any other surface contaminants by vacuum enclosed shot blasting, scarifying or mechanical grinding. Fats, oils or greases must be removed by mechanical means and detergent washing and make sure all residue of detergent is washed and removed by rinsing with clean water. Local repairs should be carried out using Resupatch.

Existing Floors (previously coated): All previous coatings and loose floor paints must be removed by mechanical preparation as described in the above section and primed as specified. If the old resin flooring cannot be removed, then please consult with our technical team for advice on intercoat adhesion and suitability, as it may not be compatible with existing floor coating.

Priming

Open and porous substrates will require priming with Resuprime NT on dry substrates only, with less than 75% ERH reading. Where the relative humidity of a substrate exceeds 75% ERH, R.S. Dampshield should be specified and selected on the basis of hygrometer readings, in accordance with BS 8203.

The number of coats to be applied is chosen in accordance with the following table:

ERH% Required Coating Thickness
75-85 1coat of R.S.DAMPSHIELD at 200 microns per coat
85-92 2coats of R.S.DAMPSHIELD at 200 microns per coat
92-97 3coats of R.S.DAMPSHIELD at 200 microns per coat

For further information please refer to individual product data sheets.

Application

The ambient temperatures of the areas should not be allowed to fall below 10°C throughout the application and the curing period, as this could have an adverse effect on the appearance and colour of the system. Surface temperature must be above 5°C. Where possible it is recommended that the application area is heated to a minimum temperature of 15°C ideally, to allow the ambient and substrate temperature to stabilise prior to installation.

Mixing: Pre-mix the base component to a uniform colour, then mix the entire contents of base with the hardener. If a separate mixing bucket is being used, ensure all contents of both components are removed from the buckets supplied. Mix using a slow speed electric mixer for approximately one to two minutes until the two components have fully combined, then add the aggregate slowly. Mix for a further 1-2 minutes until the aggregate has fully combined and there are no lumps.

The mixed unit should be applied immediately with a trowel or float to achieve an even smooth finish. This is best achieved by the application of smooth, even pressure with the compound poured over the correct coverage rate having fixed the stop ends to control the flow of the material.

Then roll the area with a spiked roller to achieve an even smooth surface and remove any entrapped air. Do not re-roll the area later than 10-15 mins. The surface should then be dressed with the selected aggregate at a rate of approximately 1-2 Kg/m sq.

The surface should be protected from temperatures of less than 5°C and moisture in the early stages of cure. This could adversely affect the flow, levelling and surface finish of Resugrip.
