Addaset

Resin bound surfacing

Manufacturer Addagrip Terraco Ltd
Country of origin United Kingdom
System family Resin-bound surfacing
Supplied and applied by Earth Layers by Conmarble

The product

The reference UV-stable resin bound system: a cold-applied clear polyurethane screed binding natural aggregate into a permeable, seamless surface course. BBA assessed, with published permeability figures a drainage engineer can design to.

Where it is used

Domestic driveways and patios Pedestrian areas and footpaths Lightly trafficked car parks Low speed access roads Promenades and landscape paving

Substrates

Concrete — clean, dry, free of laitance, oil, grease and loose friable particles Asphalt — clean and dry, to a suitable base build-up Movement and construction joints in concrete must be reflected through the surface Edging in brick, stone, concrete or steel as required

Application data

Coverage, thickness, mix and cure, as declared by the manufacturer. Site conditions in the Gulf sit at the top of most of these ranges — allow for it in the programme.

Where not to use it

The limits are as much a part of the specification as the performance. Everything here is stated on the manufacturer's data sheet.

Do not apply in wet conditions Surface must be above 5 °C and at least 3 °C above the dew point Natural aggregate colour and texture vary between batches; iron particles can cause rust spotting Permeability depends on the whole build-up, not the surface course alone
Specification clause

Resin bound surfacing: Addagrip Addaset UV-stable polyurethane resin bound aggregate surface course, [10] mm aggregate laid [22] mm thick, blend and colour to the approved sample panel, over the base course specified. Permeability not less than [17] L/sec/m² to BS EN 12697-40:2005. Skid resistance to TRL 176, Slider 96 greater than 55. Substrate joints reflected through the surface. Edge restraint as detailed. 7 days full chemical cure before trafficking.

Square brackets mark the choices that belong to the project. Send us the finishes schedule and we will return the clause completed, with the sample and mock-up programme against it.

Technical support for the design team

We supply the material and we apply it, so the specification and the workmanship sit with one party. Send a finishes schedule, an elevation or a mood board and we will come back with the system, the build-up, the sample programme and a completed clause.
