What is Antiskid

Antiskid in our industry refers to a durable, skid resistant coloured surfacing system comprised of thermosetting resin compounds incorporating specialist synthetic coloured aggregates formulated for application to roads, highways and bridge pavements.

​

Antiskid provides colour delineation to improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles alike.  The coloured surfaces also act as a warning and provide a useful traffic-calming mechanism.  Benefits also include a high friction rating of SRV > 70 which can result in a breaking distance reduction of up to 33% for road vehicles.  The product is applicable to both concrete and asphalt surfaces and is fuel and oil resistant.

​

Recommended application sites include:

​

• Bus and cycle lanes

• Tight radius corners and slip lanes

• Median (ghost) islands

• School and pedestrian crossings

• Black spot locations

• Steep inclines and declines

• Traffic lights

What is Cold Applied Plastic

Cold applied plastic (CAP) is a long life road marking compound.  It is formulated from methyl methacrylate resin and extensively used for road markings at intersections, pedestrian crossings, directional arrows and signs etc.  CAP comes in a range of different products to suit various applications.

​

Recommended applications sites include:

​

• Intersectional line markings

• Longitudinal lines

• Pedestrian crossings

• Directional arrows

• Signs and symbols

• Bus and cycle lanes

• Warehouse markings

​

With cold applied plastic you get a wear resistant road marking material with good visibility, durability and low dirt pick up.  While CAP is a great product for marking lines and stencils, it can also be applied to mark bigger areas for purposes such as bicycle lanes and decorative purposes.
