For rejuvenating oxidised asphalt and resurfacing pitted asphalt layers on airfields, residential streets, car parks, driveways, and sports surfaces, Gripset B09 restores the binder content in the asphalt layer to protect the surface against weather degradation.
Gripset B09 is a cold-applied bituminous surface treatment formulated with polymer technology to provide a modified bitumen coating with high adhesion and impact resistance. The cured film is non-slip, non-tacky, and resists sulphates, ground salts, and diluted acids. It features a cross-linking property with Portland cement; adding a cement slurry to the mix accelerates drying times, allows application over damp surfaces, and provides rapid water ponding resistance when rain is imminent.
Prepare all asphalt substrates thoroughly to ensure they are structurally sound, stable, dry (unless incorporating cement), and clean. Repair pavement surface cracks using the Gripset B26 Crack Repair method, and address structural defects with Gripset Patch-phalt repair compound. Clean oil, grease, or wax residues using proprietary degreasers and pressure washing. Remove algae or moss with organic growth removal compounds before application.
Stir Gripset B09 before use. Apply using a spray unit, manual squeegee, or self-propelled mechanical squeegee. For applications in cool conditions or when rain is expected within 4 hours, mix 750ml of wet cement slurry (Portland cement powder and water) per 15-litre pail of Gripset B09. Stir at medium speed with a drill and paddle mixer until evenly dispersed.
No, significant damage requires prior repair. Surfaces must be structurally sound and free of loose material. Cracks need to be repaired with Gripset B26 and pavement repairs with Gripset Patch-phalt before application.
Adding cement slurry increases durability and speeds up drying. This is particularly useful in cooler conditions or when rain is expected within four hours. The mix must be used within four hours of cement addition.
Vehicle and pedestrian traffic can typically resume after 24 hours. The surface is tack-free in 20 minutes and weatherproof in 4-6 hours, assuming 23ºC and 50% relative humidity. Cement addition can further reduce these times.
No, Gripset B09 is not designed for major road resurfacing. It is formulated for rejuvenating oxidised asphalt and re-surfacing pitted layers on secondary roads, car parks, footpaths, and similar applications.
| Application | Key benefit | Primary trades |
|---|---|---|
| Rejuvenating oxidised asphalt | Replenishes binder content, restoring flexibility and extending asset life. | Civil contractors, Council maintenance, Property managers |
| Re-surfacing pitted asphalt layers | Forms a weather-protective coating, improving surface integrity and appearance. | Asphalt repairers, Civil contractors |
| Secondary roads, residential streets, car parks | Provides a non-slip, durable surface that resists water, sulphates, and ground salts. | Council maintenance, Property managers, Civil contractors |
| Asphalt driveways and footpaths | Offers long-term protection against weathering with fast drying for quick return to use. | Landscapers, Homeowners (trade application), Maintenance crews |
| Repairing existing asphalt sport surfaces | Restores worn surfaces with good adhesion and resistance to impact, preventing chipping or cracking. | Sports facility maintenance, Specialised contractors |
Ensure substrate is clean, structurally sound, and free from contamination or standing water.
Stir well before use. Apply by spray, manual, or mechanical squeegee at approximately 1 L per 2 m² in two coats.
This material is hazardous and classified with a Warning signal word, causing skin and serious eye irritation.
Wear safety shoes, overalls, gloves (polyvinyl chloride recommended for intermittent contact), and chemical goggles. Wash hands thoroughly after handling and before eating, drinking, or smoking.
Ensure adequate ventilation to maintain air concentrations below exposure standards. Use in well-ventilated areas, or with local exhaust ventilation if necessary.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight, away from foodstuffs, heat, and incompatible materials. Keep containers upright and closed. Shelf life is 12 months in the original container. Avoid cold freezing conditions. Clean up wet product with water. Once dried, product must be removed mechanically or with solvent. Dispose of material and containers according to local regulations.
Proper surface preparation is crucial for Gripset B09 to ensure maximum adhesion and performance, preventing premature failure.
Surface prep: Ensure surfaces are structurally sound, stable, and clean. Remove all loose material, dirt, dust, and debonded coatings. Repair cracks using Gripset B26 Crack Repair method. For pavement repairs, use Gripset Patch-phalt repair compound. Any oil, grease, or wax residues must be removed with proprietary degreasers and pressure cleaning. Treat moss or algae with organic growth removal compounds and pressure wash.
Primer: Not required. Gripset B09 adheres directly to properly prepared asphalt surfaces.
