Gripset B09: A Technical Overview
Gripset B09 is a high-performance, cold-applied bituminous coating formulated to restore oxidised asphalt and extend pavement life. Its advanced polymer technology delivers strong adhesion, durability, and resistance to sulphates, ground salts, and diluted acids. When combined with Portland cement, it achieves faster drying and improved water ponding resistance, making it ideal for use in variable weather conditions.
Core Features & Specifications
- Solvent-free, non-toxic formulation with no harmful odours
- Fast drying and non-tacky surface finish
- Outstanding adhesion and water resistance
- Resistant to sulphates, salts, and diluted acids
- Compatible with damp surfaces when cement is added
- Available in 15L, 200L, and 1000L units for large-scale projects
The Gripset B09 Advantage
- Restores flexibility and binder content in aged asphalt
- Improves surface life with enhanced durability and resistance
- Can be applied by spray, squeegee, or mechanical applicator
- Cement additive option accelerates cure for fast turnaround
Proactive Troubleshooting
Scenario: Applying on oil-contaminated asphalt
Potential Outcome: Poor adhesion and surface delamination.
Best Practice: Degrease and pressure-clean thoroughly using a proprietary surface cleaner before applying B09.
Scenario: Applying in high humidity or imminent rain without cement additive
Potential Outcome: Delayed drying or wash-off risk.
Best Practice: Add Portland cement slurry (750 mL per 15 L pail) for rapid water ponding resistance.
Applications in Practice: Trade Scenarios
For Road Maintenance Contractors (On-Site Applicator): Restoring oxidised pavement
The Professional's Challenge
Aged bitumen surfaces lose flexibility and binder integrity, leading to cracking and moisture ingress.
The Gripset Solution
Apply Gripset B09 at 1 L per 2 m² in two coats. Its polymer-modified bitumen restores binder strength and creates a durable, flexible surface.
Best Practice Note
Always allow 24 hours before opening to vehicle traffic for maximum durability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Gripset B09 be applied to damp asphalt?
Yes. When Portland cement slurry is incorporated (750 mL per 15 L pail), Gripset B09 can be applied over damp surfaces while maintaining adhesion and rapid drying.
Is Gripset B09 suitable for heavy traffic roadways?
No. Gripset B09 is designed for secondary roads, car parks, and maintenance areas rather than major highway resurfacing.
Applications & Benefits
| Application / Use Case | Key Benefit | Primary Trades |
|---|---|---|
| Rejuvenating oxidised asphalt | Restores binder content and extends pavement life | Road Maintenance, Civil Works |
| Car park and driveway resurfacing | Provides durable, non-slip surface finish | Contractors, Builders |

Applying Gripset B09: Enhanced Protocols & Best Practices
-
Step 1 – Surface Preparation
Ensure substrate is clean, structurally sound, and free from contamination or standing water.
Pro Tip: Conduct a small test patch before full application to confirm adhesion and drying behaviour. -
Step 2 – Mixing & Application
Stir well before use. Apply by spray, manual, or mechanical squeegee at approximately 1 L per 2 m² in two coats.
Timing: Tack free in 20 min; re-coat after 30 min; traffic ready after 24 hours.Pro Tip: Add cement slurry in cool or humid conditions for faster drying.
