Oxidised asphalt surfaces lose their essential binder, becoming brittle, pitted, and vulnerable to water ingress. Gripset B09 restores these degraded surfaces, rejuvenating the asphalt layer and providing a new, durable, weather-resistant finish. This treatment prevents further deterioration and extends the functional life of existing pavements without the cost of a full replacement.
Gripset B09 is a cold-applied, polymer-modified bitumen treatment specifically engineered to rejuvenate oxidised asphalt. Its formulation replenishes the critical binder content that natural weathering removes, restoring the surface's integrity and flexibility. The unique polymer technology enhances adhesion and durability, while an innovative cross-linking property with Portland cement allows for increased strength and faster drying, particularly useful in cooler conditions or when rain is a risk after application.
Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose material. Any existing cracks should be addressed using a suitable crack repair method like Gripset B26 Asphalt Crack Filler, and potholes filled with a dedicated asphalt repair compound. Gripset B09 applies cold via spray unit, manual squeegee, or mechanical squeegee for larger areas. For optimal durability and appearance, a two-coat application is recommended at a coverage rate of 1 litre per 2m².
For enhanced durability and faster drying in cooler conditions or when rain is imminent, a cement slurry can be mixed into Gripset B09. This additive accelerates the product's weatherproofing capabilities and strengthens the final finish. Once cement is added, the mixed product must be used within four hours. Clean tools and equipment with water while the product is still wet; dried material requires mechanical removal or solvent for clean-up.
Gripset B09 serves as the final surface treatment in a comprehensive asphalt repair and rejuvenation system. It is applied after all structural repairs and crack sealing are complete. The sequence typically begins with addressing any larger pavement surface damage using a product like Gripset Patch-phalt. Following this, individual cracks are sealed with a dedicated crack repair solution, such as Gripset B26 Asphalt Crack Filler. Only once these foundational repairs are sound does Gripset B09 come into play, providing the critical rejuvenation, protection, and enhanced surface finish to the entire area.
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.
