Grit (Anti-Skid)
Applications & Uses
Grit with Anti-Skid Properties
Grit with anti-skid properties is a coarse, angular aggregate specifically designed to enhance traction on surfaces prone to slipperiness. Produced by crushing and screening hard stone, this material features sharp edges that provide superior grip compared to rounded aggregates.
The anti-skid attribute makes this grit ideal for winter road treatment, walkways, parking lots, and other areas where slip resistance is critical. It is commonly spread over icy or wet surfaces to reduce the risk of accidents for both vehicles and pedestrians. In addition to safety applications, anti-skid grit is also used in construction as a base layer for pavers or as a traction aid in industrial settings. While its coarse texture offers excellent grip, it may be less suitable for decorative or barefoot areas due to its roughness.
