Aggregates Slip Resistance Rating Srt Over 55 Application Rate 300 To 400 Grams Per Square Meter Application Method Manual Or Preferably-automatic

Markings on the ground, particularly pedestrian crossings, are all too often made slippery by wet weather or by wear and tear: in fact they are directly implicated in many of the accidents involving ‘two-wheelers’ almost 36Percent of all fatalities and serious injuries in built – up areas).

Early in 1993, the public authorities reaffirmed the need to cut the risks associated with slipperiness. To this end, SOVITEC presents a new product for sprinkling on urban road markings.

 Is a high – performance mixture of glass micro beads and aggregates, which are transparent and extremely tough, and treated to make the coating adhere to road marking products and keep them white.


The ratios between the two constituents and their respective granularity have been studied so as to provide a very high level of resistance to slipperiness: SRT over 55 in the brand-new state, and better visibility at night. The product is applied by manual or preferably-automatic sprinkling, at 300 to 400 grams per square meter.

The use of urban road markings visible at night, known as retro reflective markings, is recommended where public lighting does not offer sufficient contrast. Is the answer to this problem, with a technological ‘plus point’: the visibility of the markings, which is very good in short range of the headlights, is less good at greater distances, thereby limiting how well they can be seen, and thus discouraging drivers from speeding up because they are too complacent.
