Resin Anti-Skid Kit |
Thermoplastic Anti-Skid Carpet |
|
Only One Visit |
Resin cannot be laid onto green tarmac. The tarmac must be at least two weeks old. The traffic management set up would have to be removed and re-set up at a later stage (see associated costs below) |
Thermoplastic can be applied directly to green tarmac. No second visit required. |
|
Ease of Use |
The two part resin needs mixing together which activates. This can be a messy process. |
The thermoplastic carpet is ready to apply. No preparatory work needed. |
|
Easy to Apply |
The resin needs spreading onto the tarmac and the anti-skid grit spread on top. This is also a messy process. |
The thermoplastic is simply laid onto the tarmac and torched on. |
|
Quick to Apply |
Large areas of resin can take a while to apply |
The thermoplastic is quick to lay and torch on. |
|
Consistent Product |
Depending on the installer the resin anti-skid can vary in quality. |
The thermoplastic is the same consistency regardless of the installer. |
|
Zero Waste |
Left over resin goes off and cannot be used again. The left over waste has to be disposed of properly. |
Thermoplastic is cut to fit the patch. Any off cuts can be re-used again. |
|
Not Weather Dependent |
Resin cannot be applied in wet weather and drying times can be affected by damp conditions |
Thermoplastic can be applied in any conditions. |
|
Zero Loss of Aggregate |
Resin will lose its aggregate over time. |
Thermoplastic carpets have the aggregate impregnated meaning it will keep its anti-skid properties. |
|
No Down Time |
Once applied resin should be left to dry for 2-3 hours (Potentially longer in damp conditions) |
Once applied thermoplastic is driveable in 20mins. |
