The product
A pale brown polyurethane resin binding natural aggregate with recycled rubber tyre chippings — a softer, more forgiving surface where a degree of give matters. The resin darkens under UV.
Where it is used
- Play and recreation surfaces
- Pedestrian areas needing a softer surface
- Landscape paths
Substrates
- Asphalt or concrete at 25 mm laid depth
- Compacted stone at 30 mm laid depth
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.
- Resin darkens on UV exposure
- 3 months shelf life unopened
- Not a substitute for a tested impact-attenuating safety surface unless separately specified as such
Rubber stone resin bound surfacing: Addagrip Addaflex R, 2–5 mm aggregate with recycled rubber tyre chippings, laid 25 mm thick on asphalt or concrete, or 30 mm on compacted stone, to the approved sample panel. Contractor to advise that the resin darkens under UV exposure. 7 days full chemical cure.
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.
