The Addagrip 1000 System Resin has been specifically developed to treat frost damaged, spalled or smooth concrete airfield pavements, concrete roads, concrete ramps and steps.

The Addagrip 1000 System has been developed to treat top layer as well as deep damage and to seal small cracks and spalled surfaces on concrete airfield pavements. Applying the Addagrip 1000 System Resin onto the damaged or spalled surfaces of concrete will prevent further deterioration prolonging the life of the concrete.

A major problem with concrete is that deterioration is caused by latent defects, chemical attack and frost damage, which over a period of time causes the top of the concrete to break-down. This breakdown may cause a safety or FOD (Foreign Object Damage) problem requiring removal of the affected areas.

The Addagrip 1000 system seals and protects airfield concrete pavements that are suffering from ASR (alkali-silica reaction) more commonly known as ‘concrete cancer’.

The Addagrip 1000 System Resin applied directly onto the prepared concrete pavement is designed to prevent further deterioration. Areas treated over the last twenty years at military and civil airfields have prevented further deterioration, prolonging the life of the concrete pavement by an estimated 10-15 years.

Application

Before the Addagrip 1000 System Resin is applied, the surface is prepared by heat blasting using the Addagrip Hot Compressed Air System (HCA).
Once the heat blast comes into contact with the concrete surface it causes water, oil or other liquid contaminants to vaporise leaving the concrete capillary pores within the top few millimetres open and empty.

Immediately after the HCA process the Addagrip 1000 System Resin is rollered/squeegeed onto the surface. As the concrete cools the Addagrip 1000 System Resin is drawn down into the structure of the concrete.
A further application of Addagrip 1000 System Resin is then applied at the recommended rate to hold your chosen aggregate.

Quartz or Emery in a range of grades is available to provide the finished wearing surface, typical grading for Quartz is 0.7-1.2mm or 0.8-1.4mm and a typical grading for Emery is 0.5-1.0mm, 0.5-1.5mm, 0.8-1.7mm and 1-2mm

By sealing and protecting the surface from moisture penetrating the concrete, the deterioration and service life can be extended cost effectively and quickly.
