Resin-bound surfacing — technical data

Addastone Thixotropic Agent

Thickening filler

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

The product

A polyethylene filler added to PU Addastone so the resin stops soaking into asphalt and stays put on a slope. Small component, but it is mandatory on asphalt and it belongs in the specification rather than being left to the site.

Where it is used

  • Added to PU Addastone for all asphalt applications
  • Added where PU Addastone is laid on sloped areas

System family

A cold-applied polyurethane resin binding graded aggregate into a permeable, seamless surface course. Specified for driveways, footpaths, promenades, pedestrian areas, lightly trafficked car parks and low speed access roads. The permeability figures below are the ones a drainage engineer needs.

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.

Product Polyethylene thickening filler
Density 0.93 g/cm³
Addition rate 0.5 – 1% per 20 kg unit to a creamy thickened consistency; up to 1.5% recommended maximum
Mixing Added to Part A, mixed homogenous, then Part B added and mixed at least 2 minutes with a low-speed drill
Packaging 10 kg units
Storage 12 months in original unopened containers

Performance data

Every figure below is reproduced from the manufacturer's own technical data sheet, with the test standard it was measured against. The sheet itself is in the download section.

Property Result Standard
Function Reduces resin soak into asphalt and holds the resin on slopes Addagrip data sheet
Maximum addition 1.5% — three 1 litre loads per 20 kg of resin Addagrip data sheet

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.

  • An additive only — it is not a standalone product
  • Recommended maximum addition is 1.5% (three 1 litre loads per 20 kg of resin)
  • Very light and easily airborne — add carefully
Specification clause

Where PU Addastone is applied to asphalt or to sloped areas, Addagrip Addastone Thixotropic Agent to be added to the Part A resin at 0.5–1% per 20 kg unit, to a maximum of 1.5%, mixed to a homogenous creamy consistency before Part B is added.

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.
